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.

    Haha

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Lol

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Good start fellas.

  2. Drexl Spivey
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Well that sharp flushed the toilet on any Gündogan transfer.

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Certain starter against Forest, what's not to like about that benching
      Whiilst Alvarez starts over Haaland in that game

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I brought him for a hit instead of Neto. He has 3 or 4 games to repair the hit. The alternative was to get Rodrigo and follow the crowd.

  3. All Hail K
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I see Dalot is up for the three bonus points. It seems like whenever I have a defender that gets an assist as soon as he gets a yellow card all his bonus points are banished to hell.

  4. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Somebody fetch Bruno his milk

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Milk?

  5. Boberella
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I’m over in the UK from Australia and wondering how you watch the 3pm games?
    A pub landlord told me last week they are not shown as it encourages people to be in pubs all day. Is this true? Can you really not watch them in pubs? Seems insane

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It depends on the pub and sometimes how close they are to an EPL ground.

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Many pubs get satellite feed from overseas TV stations. There is no live 3pm game on UK TV as it could impact attendances at the grounds.

    2. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      3pm KOs are not televised in the UK. Usually I watch Sky/BBC studio coverage. There are streams available out there if you look hard enough

      1. Boberella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Ok thanks.
        Seems utterly ludicrous.

        1. The Senate
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          They televised them when the stadia were empty, I think part of the thinking is putting more PL on TV would detract attendance at lower league teams

        2. Dead Balls
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          It’s written in small writing inside all travel documents

        3. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Not at all. More to football than tbe Prem, but many fans of smaller clubs would stay home and watch big games rather than go to their local team if the Prem was on TV at 3pm. It makes perfect sense.

          1. Boberella
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Ok, this does seem like slightly better logic than just keeping people out of pubs all day!

    3. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      In Canada I wake up at 7am and make a coffee for the first match. Encourages people to stay in their pajamas all day.

    4. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      a responsible pub owner!

    5. CLIVE MENDONCA FTW
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tis true… old antiquated broadcast rule, as the FA believes that if they were to let the 3p be televised on TV … then live attendances to matches would fall.
      There’s some logic there, it’s just fairly broken backwards logic

      1. Boberella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Righto, thanks.

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        life beyond the Premier League tho.

        A whole pyramid.

      3. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Its perfectly sensible logic ; many smaller teams are supported by people who would happily put their feet up on a Saturday afternoon if City were playing.

    6. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      3pm are not live in order to encourage supporters to go and watch their local lower league side, which in turn helps those clubs survive financially

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        good

    7. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      can't watch them legally so people go to their local grounds in the 72 clubs out of the Premier League.

      And national league etc.

  6. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hope Trent punishes sellers

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Robbo too pls

    2. Vermeerish
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’ve captained him, extra punishment please

  7. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Stat:

    last PL manager to win at Anfield .. Parker!

  8. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    K.Moore to cause havoc today.

    Liv 3-2 Bou

  9. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is heat wave still a thing in Uk?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      comes and goes with the weather.

      today is warm and hot in the sun.

  10. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mason Mount, you owe me some points.... and i mean more than 3!

    1. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Come on Mount last chance saloon my boy!!

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      4 it's then.

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        assist + 2 pointer + YC ?

      2. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        that's a haul... for him.

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Predict he will have 1 shot on target in the match - a dribbler from 25 yards and do absolutely nothing else before being hauled at 65 mins again. Ward is in goal though, so there is a chance.

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Perfect

  11. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Haaland to Alvarez for Forest game is on the cards for me! Have 2ft and can move Toney/Isak gw6

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Glad I don't think like you

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        WC after that so just short term punt

    2. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Utter madness, just get Kane if you're that desperate to lose Haaland

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I have Kane and Jesus

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Fair enough, still must be better options than Alverez, Haaland will probably come on and outscore him if he is rested

      2. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I’d be bringing him back on my WC like

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    This fixture will be the be all and end all of Haaland scoring record.

  13. F4L
