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.

  13. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Allison has more chance of a return in this game than Salah.

  14. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Weirdly enough I ignored Salah for captaincy this week, my dilemma was between Jesus and Haaland. Wanted to go with Haaland as he just gets so many good chances but figured it'd be a tough game against Palace given they're a bogey team for City especially at home, so I went with Jesus. In the end perhaps I was just simply wrong to ignore Salah yet I've been ridiculously, ridiculously lucky.

    1. Wenger's Warriors
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Same here

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

      I think you should count your luckiest of stars. He was the banker pick among almost everyone for a reason.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Good man

  15. Jafooli

  23. Dat Guy Welbz
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    This is even worse than the time Liverpool beat Hull 6-1 in 2016 with no Firmino involvement.

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

      most memorable captain fail i can remember...

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

    OK let me get this right last week captain Jesus, misses numerous chances. Most others captain Salah and he scores with only attacking thing Pool do all game. This week its constant attack, 8 goals and no points? Queue a Jesus haul to drop me down further...

    "Zinchenko is left out as a precaution having suffered a slight sprain to his left knee in Arenal’s training session on Friday."

    Klopp instructed Salah not to score today to see how the rest of the team would respond.

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

      Or assist?

      1. T C
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He was told only to give moral support, but not to celebrate.

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

    Has Ward made any massive blunders?

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

      Definitely not. He's been okay today. Actually made some good saves.

  29. Hazz
