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.

    Will Ward finally deliver when on our bench?? That would be really frustrating

    1. MEGPAL
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I took a hit to get rid of him. This season

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Me too

      2. Sailboats

    2. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why would anyone sell Ward?
      Selling Iverson I can understand. Ward is the only playing 4.0 keeper

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        We sold Iversen and our Ward on the bench

  2. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Haaland should of had a YC for that earlier :/

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

      Not at the Etihad. You've been impressive. Again!

  3. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Really interesting start to the round! Firmino is absolute on fire!!! Good for him

  4. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Someone somewhere will have TC'd Firmino?

    Will be their 63rd team, but even so...

    1. 50ShadesOfGray
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Was going to transfer him in for Watkins before I realised the deadline had finished...kicking myself

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

    Does anyone actually own firmino?

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

      If they do, they aren't worth worrying about.

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

        huh? What's wrong with owning the number 9 of one of the best prem teams?

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      136,000 people do.

      more or less.

      non template winning!

    Worst gw ever

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned

      Since last GW

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        And before next...

  7. thegaffer82
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I’m guessing there’s not many watching the Brentford game. I’d quite like to know how Toney I’d getting on…

    1. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      *is*

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      11 'touches'.

      1 big chance missed.

      SofaScore

  8. MEGPAL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Honest question, bring in Bobby?

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Unliklinho
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He does this every so often, then nothing for months on end..

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

    4. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Honestly no.
      This usually happens every season.
      Bobby has a cracking game, bags of points. Doesn’t score again for 7 months

    5. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No. He does this once a season. If you happened to predict it, fantastic! But he’ll share minutes with Darwin and Jota, if he isn’t third choice.

    6. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lol. It's Bou and Diaz will be back.

      1. Royal5
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        *Darwin

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

    How did City end up in this poisition?

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They conceded 2 goals.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2 crosses from Eze.

      Palace deserve it and didn't lose to them last season.

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      We have form vs them.

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

      Turns out playing without any wide defenders leaves a team open to crosses…who could have predicted that?

    5. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      palace are their bogey team

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

      Set pieces. Crucial part of the game.

  10. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Firming playing for a big money transfer before Thursday deadline...

  11. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    4 goals, no Mo...

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Time to sell haaland

  13. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah useless, and City

  14. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    This is a type of game where Pool score 4/5 before HT and it will be goalless in the second half. Happens every time.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Aye. It does happen quite commonly to be fair when one team has already won the game by H/T

      1. Royal5
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly

        1. Royal5
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Really need sometging from Salah here

  15. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Aaronson YC

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Of course after I benched him last GW

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

    Haaland the most fomo player

  17. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Quadruple cleanie about to disappear in thin air 2 weeks in a row.

  18. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    There’s no players I even want

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      😀

      The end of FPL...

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If I hit the WC button, I'd have absolutely no clue what to do (other than avoid Chelsea).

  19. Camzy
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I think anyone with double City defense should ditch. They have 0 depth there atm and look vulnerable.

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ederson to Ramsdale on the cards.

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

      0 depth meaning their players start vs Forest at home?

    3. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2 cleansheets in 4. Calm down.

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking of ditching Cancelo (have Ederson) and spending the cash on a forward.

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

    Haaland needs a rest

  21. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah be lucky to make 60 minutes here.

  22. Josh.E
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Am glad I got rid of Walker lol

  23. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Might just bin Haaland this week

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      1. The Philosopher
        • 6 Years

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years

      I am the most ridiculed poster on here 🙂

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 4 Years

    3. DRIZ ✅

      Firmino

  24. Bartowski
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Mark is a witch. It's the only explanation for what he did to Son and now Salah.

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Son will megahaul this week guaranteed

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

      He does sound a bit like Baldrick of Blackadder.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Can see a huge Son haul this week too

  25. a wat di rass

    Well at least Salah is smiling....

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

  26. Rainer
    • 10 Years

  27. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years

  28. Royal5

  29. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Cancelo/Gros to Fofana/Gundo pending…

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

      Gundo?

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

        Had his rest

  30. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Walker ➡ James ➡ Walker

    1. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good moves 🙂
