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.

        You’d think they’d update their servers to keep in line

  9. Arteta
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    It looks like Raya over Sanchez is just another 50:50 call I'm gonna lose by a large margin in the end. Freaking hell man. How can't they keep a clean sheet against bloody Everton?!

    1. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same here feeling so bad about it

      1. Arteta
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I do have 2 free transfers now, but it's probably a huge waste to use 1 on the same position again.

  10. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Remember my post about about Haaland not scoring many goals for City?

    It is because Pep wants him to play as a midfielder.

    1. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Post number 57357? Na I don't remember

    2. nobwak
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Are you seeking some kind of validation, some “you were totally right mate!”, less than half way through what is only the 4th game of the season?

    3. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Busts out the microfiche...

    The top 4 players in my ML league don't even have Salah and they are going to be laughing at me. Come on Mo. Do something!

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They won't be laughing at the end of the season if they don't have him.

    2. Hits from the Bong
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      My ML leader brought in Firmino for Nunez ffs

      1. DycheDycheBaby

  14. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Haaland cares more about his man-bun than scoring goals...

    1. nobwak
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      This aged well

  15. Casualspotted
    • 4 Years

  16. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
    • 10 Years

    1. nobwak
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You do realise that if you do this you don’t get the points for the goal he scored this week, right?

  17. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

  19. TomSaints
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If Salah blanks in a 10-0 win. Well it’s just not meant to be haha

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      As Laing as Jesus an Haaland don’t smash it

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would be more worried about Haaland right now than Salah.

  20. Ady87
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How many actually sold TAA this week, any figures?

    1. 50ShadesOfGray

  22. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino on pace for a 36 point game

  23. No Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Walker has been absolutely horrible today!

    Would have looked like a complete fool if Zaha was playing

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      32 years old.

  24. Joyce1998
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      • 13 Years

    4. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

  25. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Not sure what Barnes did wrong there.

  26. Kaneyonero

  27. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

  28. Urban Cowboy.
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Even against 10 men the cynic in me thinks there is more chance of a Ward goal than clean sheet.

  29. The Mentaculus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Its all Brighton. Not a sniff for Leeds atm. Lost count of the number of FKs / corners Groß has taken, delivery has been sharp
