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.

  9. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months 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
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Same here feeling so bad about it

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months 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
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months 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
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Post number 57357? Na I don't remember

    2. nobwak
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months 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
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

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

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

      My ML leader brought in Firmino for Nunez ffs

  14. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. nobwak
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This aged well

  15. Casualspotted
    • 4 Years

  19. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      As Laing as Jesus an Haaland don’t smash it

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

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

  20. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How many actually sold TAA this week, any figures?

    1. 50ShadesOfGray

  22. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

  23. No Salah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Walker has been absolutely horrible today!

    Would have looked like a complete fool if Zaha was playing

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

      32 years old.

  24. Joyce1998
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

    4. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

  25. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

  27. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  28. Urban Cowboy.
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

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

  29. The Mentaculus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months 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
