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.

  6. FPL Daniel

    Mark sold Haaland for Salah. Unbelievable

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He wasted his WC as well lol

    2. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      On tilt.

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think me and Mark are but from the same cloth
      I often make similar decisions
      Luckily kept Haaland though

    4. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Madness getting rid of Haaland.

      If I hear him moan about it I’m not having it.

      Terrible decision.

      Needs to block out the noise because he’s lost the plot.

      No Diaz on a WC is insane!

    5. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      First sub for Zinchenko
      Lucky me

  10. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Rubbish game, can’t even check scores. Salah was the best option but is a blooming idiot.

  11. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Today has been FPL history.

    Soak it up.

    Will be spoken about for years haha

  12. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    No Liverpool. The couch was not big enough.

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’d have loved it, but I captained KdB.

      Have Diaz tho…

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Loved it? It was horrendous. No Trent. No Robbo. No Diaz. The worst that could happen.

    2. lonecomander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tbh you really probably aren’t going to be punished that badly. Salah was atrocious. TAA will have hurt, but robbo and Diaz aren’t that highly owned.

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        TAA hurts. Captain KDB and Sterling were the only positives.

  13. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    'Pool destroyed Bournemouth AND the FPL servers, I see... And I forgot to check if I had my captaincy on Salah (pretty sure the answer is yes), so doing my refreshing from behind the sofa now...

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

    13 goals for Liverpool and City and no Salah or KDB involvement.

    god damn

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, killed my GW

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

        same, oh well

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      triple captained Salah

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Ouch

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

        just unfortunate , was a good call

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Own both captained Salah.

      Bad week

      Move on to the next with 2fts

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

        yeah, you know salah and Kdb will be back in the points next GW anyways

  15. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Arguably one of the worst days of Fantasy football ever.

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just "one of the worst"?

      Imagine people like me without any Liverpool players. No Trent. No Diaz. No Robbo.

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I have only one Liverpool in Salah, and I bloody capped him too.

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

      How. Such an interesting FPL day. Only sucks if you didn't have certain players.

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I had 38 of them last season.

      A Jesus goal and Arsenal clean sheet and I should top 100 pts for the GW.

  16. Ahmed Adam
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah to KDB?

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

      Yep

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

      Thinking about the same

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

      He was deep alot today and his corners were not the best

    4. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Salah to Groß?

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

      More concerned with cancelo than salah, no cs again, subbed early

    6. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What did KDB get today though? Oh he blanked and City scored 4 goals.

      1. sulldaddy
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        And City plays NF next.

        Play matchups. CP has been tough for City recently

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

    So we have to swap Salah for diaz .. this 5 mil over is nothing is too much??

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

      Is nothing is too much?

  18. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    But Salah alway scores vs Bournemouth…

  19. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    U know can't be mad. Did Robertson and Maddison to Trippier and Sterling. Worked out.

  20. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Finally after having 3 horrendous GWs to start the season I've had a good day. 66 points so far despite the captain blank and halved my rank from 4.6m to 2.3m. Onwards and hopefully upwards
