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.

      Are you in love with Haaland? Is that why you can't stop thinking about him? Because you love him.

    Rage-selling Salah tonight. Premiums are pitiful this season

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

      When Haaland has done f all?

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

        Well I never had him either

    2. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Best to go with no premiums and £8m ITB

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

        I’m seriously considering it

  10. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years

    Salah coming off HT for midweek rest?

    1. Thanos
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Got no Salah. So I'm praying for it!!!!

  11. jimmyabs1987
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    It is a bit of a joke 5-0 and no Salah involvement

  12. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What the hell is going on. See Liverpool 4-0 up no Salah involvement. Now 5-0 still nothing.

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

    if salah gets subbed at half time i'll be hovering over the wc button

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

    Surely Klopp has to rest Salah for the second half. Then start him on Wednesday

  15. 15men1cup
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I bet pints for everyone salah gets a return

  16. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Remember someone on here posted a RMT with a capped TAA this morning. Congrats

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Was it me?

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

        It was. Did you keep the armband on Trent?

        1. Weeb Kakashi
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yes kept it on him. Hope you're having a good week.

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

            Very meh. Double City defence being the worst of it.

            Hoping for miracles 2nd half.

  17. MADCHESTER UTD
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Keep the faith people. Still got 2nd half. No reason why he can’t get hatty in 45. He won’t want to come off wanting golden boot

    1. jimmyabs1987
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’m hoping Klopp also will want him to get confidence

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

    Salah can still score in 2nd half. Lets try and be optimistic

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

    Heading for my worst start playing this game for 8 years.

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

      Same. Red Arrow FC

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

        Yeah, might hit the 4m mark this week as things stand.

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    City 0 shots on target

    Haaland essential

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      LOL...wtf is with MC today?

  21. yousunkmybattleship
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Non Salah cappers proving FPL is 100% luck

    1. OLLY G
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      100% luck yet Fabio Borges make the top 5k virtually ever season.

  22. Manani
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    have Salah captain, but at least everyone else also have Salah captain, so dont feel particularly bad about it lol

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

    Cant believe didnt cap Jesus

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

      I did, awaiting a hat trick

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

      Ditto

    3. MADCHESTER UTD
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t think that way. It was a good decision. At home to Bournemouth was a no brainer. Anyway there is still 45 mins for him to get 2 or 3

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

      He'll blank. Salah won't.

  24. rambo.
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Just saw Toney and James both hit the post....ffs

  25. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    By the looks of it, robbo will be subbed at ht 🙁

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

      please yes. selling him for Cancelo has not gone well so far!

  26. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wingbacks get so many bonus points it is insane.

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

    Cucurella limping at half time. Not ideal.

  28. james 101
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Does it really matter a lot that Salah doesn’t return?

    Almost everyone’s got him no?

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

      For non cappers it matters

    2. SamH123
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      well yeah because captains

  29. DandyDon
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    so the only person who has missed a chance in this game was Salah twice. 5 goals. I wonder why we bother with this game! No doubt a Jesus hattrick will come later; after he was the better of the two last week and missed all his chances. Sign

  30. FPL Daniel

    If Robbo Ward and Neto deliver I’ll rant
