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.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No much reaction on here!

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sounds very tempting. KDB over Son imo

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

      Mount definitely needs to go. Not sure about Salah.

  6. One for All
    • 7 Years

      Great hauls.

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

    Palace may have had a better chance if the Ref didn't cancel out Ederson's howler where Edouard passed to Ayew to score into an empty net 🙁

  9. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus def scoring now

  10. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Better combo?

    A) Salah, Cancelo, Cucurella
    B) KDB, Diaz, Cucurella
    C) Sterling, Diaz, Cancelo

    Would Captain Haaland week in week out if I went with option B or C.

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

      If Sterling scores next week I'd be tempted by Salah>Sterling, but don't act in haste.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Will not making any move before I got 2 FT. The prospect of getting Sterling + Diaz over Salah + Walker is very tempting though. Would require a -4, so I am definetely waiting one week

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

    Mount can F off forever now as well

  12. Game of Throw_ins
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Tielemans on 2 Bonus (34 BPS) ?without any goal or assist? Surprising! Can we see somewhere how he accumulated these points?

        Yes I've been using Fantasy Football Fix but that's been crashing as well.

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mount >> Diaz no brainer?

    Sanchez
    
TAA Cancelo James Cucurella

    Salah Mount Martinelli Gross

    Haaland Jesus
    (Ward, Andreas, Neco, Archer)

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

  15. F_Ivanovic
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Transfers this week went well. Sanchez and GroB in for Bailey and Iverson. Could have taken a hit to bring in Diaz for Saka as well but seemed stupid considering the Arsenal fixture so was never really going to do it even though Diaz is the 8m mid I want now. May give Saka another week still though depending how he does later!

  16. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    51 with Jesus Rams Mart Trip to go ..

    Salah(c) and no Diaz 🙁

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

      Same and not bad?

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 13 Years

        bad GW

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years

      62 with rams martinelli kudus an Tripp to go
      Also salah cap

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

        • Jesus

  17. Tsparkes10

    I had a nap at half time. Wow. Premier league really is the goat

  18. Eightball
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Gordon no BPS. Robbed.

  19. GoonerGirl
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    According to Live FPL, I'm currently on 73 points with Saliba, Martinelli and Jesus to go and I've gone from 56k to 6,8k, had Salah captain so I'm disappointed at how many points I could have got this game week but I don't feel too upset as I was always going to captain him at home to Bournemouth.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Congrats!

      1. GoonerGirl
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, still early days but happy, I've never started this well before.

    2. Unliklinho
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Similar for me. Had OR of 77530 at the start of the gw. Based on current baps I should get 71 with Jesus, Marti and Saliba to play. Good for us.

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

      Everyone playing the odds had Salah captain. It's fine.

  20. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Done own Salah ... But spread the money on the likes of Ederson, Cancelo & Zinchenko

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

      How is that spreading the money? Most have Salah, Cancelo and Zinchenko (or similar priced players)

  21. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ederson > Sanchez

    Yes or No? Is there a better goalkeeper to target?

    (Also got Cancelo on my team)

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

      Yes

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

      I got Sanchez in this week so very happy. Brighton playing great so can’t think of anyone better, particularly for that price

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I mean it depends what you're doing with the funds because by itself it's not worth a transfer.

  22. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Both Rodrigo & Toney fail thank god didn't get them

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

      Got them both for a hit and still happy with my decision as I gained 0.3 in team value and Mount was anyways hooked early... If not this week then next week they'll score 😉

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

        Good for you dude

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

        Think I'm happier because I ignored the value and went GroB instead who was clearly the better option and have 11 points to show for it.

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

    Salah's blond hair needs to go

  24. One for All
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Mendy
    White, Taa, Walker, Cucurella
    Andreas, Martinelli, Salah, Son
    Haaland, Jesus

    Forster, Trippier, Greenwood, Murphy

    2FT 0.0 ITB

    A) Mendy>Sanchez, Son>Kdb
    B) Son>Harrinson, Greenwood> Toney
    C) Son> Diaz, Greenwood> Toney

    A, B, or C guys?

    Thanks

  25. Keith Kiely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A bizarre day that Liverpool had 9 goals and Salah not even 1 contribution. I knew Liverpool would kill it today and decided to triple captain him. What hurts more is that AAT was the vice. Salah was one of two players to have a blank (him and Cancelo) and had 3 players in double figures

    Salah also screwed me in real money. Bet 25 quid on 5-1 odds for Liverpool to win (3 goal handicap, clean sheet, and Salah goal). FPL gave me decent points but if I captained AAT or Haaland I would have 96 with 3 arsenal to play

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      At least you have Trent

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

        Trent, Haaland and Diaz. (Veltman and James also did good for me)

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

    KDB instead of Trent, Robbo and James looking like a schoolboy error. Should I swap him for Diaz and bring Trent back?

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

      Then you'll follow one schoolboy error with another. It's up to you, but this is a classic fantasy mistake. If you thought it was a good idea to make those changes live with them a bit before you kneejerk them back.

  27. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Well done Jesus captainers!!

  28. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ramsdale/Cancelo/Gros to Sanchez/Fofana/Gundo for -4?

  29. Not again Shirley
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    So to anyone who watched the game, is the thinking that he really isn’t in the best of shape or was he just a bit unlucky and on another day could have for something. Asking for a friend!

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

      Missed 2 sitters and could have had one or two more. Just a bizarre day, any other day he leaves with 15pts+

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        So probably worth keeping for the Newcastle game then?

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

          Don't do anything yet. I've been looking at him all season, but wait until Darwin comes back into the team and let's see what happens. The other question is who would you move to? I want to have some clearly better options before I make that move.

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

      He’s just one of those players that always flatters to deceive. It’s an easy swap to Gross imo

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

        Assuming you’re talking about Trossard

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Salah

      9 goals and no returns

      the beauty of football.

      I laugh when people moan it's predictable and so same with the template.

  30. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah>KDB, Son, Sterling going to be popular?

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

      Lots of people could be regretting it a week later. Difficult to slot him back in
