Liverpool and Manchester City are among the 10 Premier League teams in action at the traditional Saturday afternoon kick-off time.

Both are on home soil, with the Reds taking on Bournemouth and City entertaining Crystal Palace.

Brentford v Everton, Brighton & Hove Albion v Leeds United and Chelsea v Leicester City are the other matches getting underway at 3pm BST.

Injuries and suspensions have reduced the number of options available to Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola but both have made minor alterations to their sides.

Fabinho comes in for James Milner in Klopp’s one change, while the injured Nathan Ake and the benched Ilkay Gundogan make way for Ruben Dias and Riyad Mahrez in Guardiola’s two tweaks.

Bournemouth make three changes for their trip to Anfield as Ryan Christie, Lewis Cook and Jaidon Anthony replace Lloyd Kelly, Ben Pearson and Philip Billing. Kelly isn’t in the squad at all, while Dominic Solanke is only a substitute.

Media reports ruling Wilfried Zaha out of the match at the Etihad were accurate, with the Ivory Coast international’s place in Patrick Vieira’s side taken by Nathaniel Clyne. That will presumably see the Eagles move to a five-at-the-back set-up.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel recalls Trevoh Chalobah rather than Ben Chilwell in place of the suspended Kalidou Koulibaly in his one and only line-up change.

Wilfred Ndidi, Ayoze Perez and the injured James Maddison are replaced by Youri Tielemans, Dennis Praet and Boubakary Soumare in Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers’ three alterations.

Graham Potter makes his first starting XI change of the season as defender Pervis Estupinan replaces the absent Adam Lallana for Brighton, which may mean that Leandro Trossard is pushed further forward after his recent stint at wing-back.

Jesse Marsch predictably sticks with the same Leeds team that defeated Chelsea last weekend.

Thomas Frank’s one change from Brentford’s defeat at Fulham is enforced as Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen comes in for Pontus Jansson, who does not make the squad.

Tom Davies and Dwight McNeil replace Amadou Onana and Salomon Rondon for Everton, who can’t yet call upon new signing Neal Maupay after his move from Brighton.

    Fancy a Salah brace before he gets taken off around the 70th minute.

    1. dansully3
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Take him off now!!!

  2. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Haaland is a non returning help his team asset because Pep does not want him to play as a natural no 9.

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      is there an echo in here?

    2. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Mate, can I give you some advice? Just stop with the Haaland hate on every page, it’s very boring.

      1. dansully3
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        It's exhausting!

    3. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      You love him. Just admit it.

    4. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      We understand completely. There's no doubt whatsoever in my mind any more.

      On to the next topic, please?

      1. LoneWolf1989
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Iv flagged him as a spammer.

    5. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      This content should exclusive for your patreons as it’s wasted on here

    6. dansully3
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Did he score again or did I make that up?

  3. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Between them TAA James Cancelo have 5 bonus points, wingbacks are bonus point magnets.

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Now it is 6 James BPS keeps changing between 2 and 3.

    2. Mince n Tatties
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Leicester will change that for James shortly

  4. bench boost for every gamew…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    I guess the only good thing going for a City defender is that they concede, which gives them lesser chance of winning. Which is good as Liv supporter. FPL wise not sure what to do. Nothing, absolutely nothing goes.

  5. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    How is Chelsea playing?
    Time to sell James?

    1. CLIVE MENDONCA FTW
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He almost got a goal on stroke of H/T. Classic late run in front right… smashed it against the post

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      It's scrappy as hell. We were however fairly comfortable before Gallagher made some bone-headed decisions.

      James has looked great. Wouldn't recommend to sell him, especially with Fofana incoming & Koulibaly back next week. Perhaps even Kovacic soon.

      1. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks!

    3. TyroneGAA

  8. MADCHESTER UTD
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    I’m ok about it…….aslong as Klopp leaves him on all game. I still think he will deliver at least 2 attacking returns

  9. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Chance of a TAA/Robbo withdrawal at HT?

    1. Rainer

  11. TorresMagic™

    • 17 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Which Pool players to be subbed before 60 minutes?

    1. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Il let you know once I get off the phone to Klopp.

      1. TorresMagic™

        • 17 Years

        Texting works better.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Torres surely

    3. CLIVE MENDONCA FTW
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      TAA, Robbo, Hendo

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I feel like Robertson has more than sufficient cover in Tsimikas. Just hope he makes 60

  12. SirWenger
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Season over results with double City def and Salah (TC)

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Don’t moan for Salah blank it is literally irrelevant what he’ll do because of 190% EO. I mean it doesn’t matter really at all how many points he’ll get or won’t get

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Of course it matters. Not everyone gives a crap about rank. All about those cash leagues

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      His EO is nowhere near that

    3. LOL LINGARD SCORED
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Points are never irrelevant

  14. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Honestly the best FPL strategy is just to put all the wingbacks in your team and hope that one of them scores and gets a clean sheet lol

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Azpi coming on at HT supposedly.

    1. Thanos

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Mound seems more accurate this season.
