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 serious? £75m for Fofana? What next, £60m for Anthony Gordon?

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

      Not too fussed about Salah C blanking. Most are in the same boat and I own Trent and Robertson

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Same

      2. Das Boot
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Exactly, Salah owner here but the bitchin is ridiculous

      1. Das Boot
        • 11 Years

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years

          1. Das Boot
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            haha, Really? No saltyness here. Just observing the nonsense comments about Salah. Sorry I seem to have upset you.

        2. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          You need it to run your diesel engine to charge your electric batteries before submerging.

    5. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      5-0 shows it was the right choice

  5. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Palace are winning the league

    1. Spoox777
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      C O Y P !!!

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

    Robertson please make 60. Tsimikas go away please

    1. rambo.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This!

  7. Sif
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    You target a fixture and 5-0 shows the Salah cappers were right.

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      yep, just like I targetted Jesus last week. still hurts though

    2. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      FPL 100% luck

    3. Harry the Hack
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      it does? He hasn't been in the goals all year.
      But i am happy enough with my TAA, Robbo, Diaz triple up

      1. Sif
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Even below-average Salah is as good as any other player. Only 4 midfielders have more points and with the exception of KDB they will fall off while Salah pushes on.

        1. Harry the Hack
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          At the prices, more than happy with KDB. Kane is captain this week.

          1. TyroneGAA
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I don’t own salah but I’m now looking to get him in even if he blanks ..

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

    Repost. Cucurella was limping quite a bit at half time. Not ideal...

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

      Is he fine ?

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

        Can't tell yet. But he was being treated on field after the HT whistle

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

          Hopefully they keep him on FFS lol

    2. Paqueta Rice

      Don’t say that… hope that’s nothing

  9. snow pea in repose
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If you are Klopp, do you start subbing players off now with an eye towards next week?

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      yes

    2. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah.

    3. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      100%, especially when 5 subs

    4. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No. Klopp famously has no concept of time.

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

      Yeah. Robbo for Tsimi please.

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

        Nooooo

      2. Harry the Hack

        you can jog off.

    6. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8. rambo.
      • 7 Years

      Probably. Already bracing myself for a Robbo sub

    9. james 101
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Or leave them on and treat it as a confidence boosting / training exercise?

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

    Who the hell do I replace Salah, KDB and Haaland with?

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

      whoever scores today

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Diaz foden and toney. We need only 85m budget

    3. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Why would you replace them? If you are reacting to 45 minutes in GW4 then FPL isn’t for you.

  11. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Can’t believe what is happening.. salah have to score 5 at second half

  12. Hy liverpool

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I hope he comes on at half time and does something 🙂

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      why need Gundo when you can play Walker in midfield...

      1. Hy liverpool

        That 235 line up screams gundogan.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        How does that work? You just rent a penalty area and have at it?

        1. james 101
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

        How's your differential game going? Guess you might have publicly celebrated if you had Bobby...?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Well, I might have to activate the WC, as a bunch of my players are now north of 20%!

          Mendy
          Zinc Trips Robbo
          KDB Bailey Son Diaz Groß

            • 16 Years

            threemium with an 8 mid. That's pretty impressive

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I know, I was quite surprised at how lowly owned KDB, Son, Kane, & Diaz were when I got them in.

              1. Harry the Hack
                • 16 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                i wasn't. apparently salah was 'essential'. I started a 2 1/2 premium, but Darwin went southwards..

                  True - suppose some of the ownerships are reaching silly numbers. Jesus is in the 70s?! Highest I can remember for a long time.

                  I had Darwin. Replaced with Kane. Wonder what the score would have been today with him and not Firmino.

                  Which premiums have you gone with?

          3 years, 8 months ago

          It’s not really even that differential, is it? I might drop to 10% on the WC.

          How’s your early season going?

    At least haaland is blanking too so captaining either salah or haaland is no gain or loss. Obviously Jesus can hurt us still

    Need to see who Mark's captaining each week so I can remove him from my side each GW
