Five more Gameweek 5 fixtures take place this evening, with Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City among the teams in action:

The question on many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers’ lips ahead of the release of tonight’s teamsheets was whether Erling Haaland would start or not, and the Norwegian striker does indeed make Manchester City’s line-up for the fifth straight league match.

Julian Alvarez and Ilkay Gundogan are also included in Pep Guardiola’s starting XI as Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez make way.

Perennial title rivals Liverpool are meanwhile unchanged from their 9-0 win over Bournemouth.

City and Liverpool are up against Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United respectively, who make seven changes between them.

New Magpies signing Alexander Isak is among four players brought into Eddie Howe’s line-up, with Jamaal Lascelles, Matt Targett and Ryan Fraser also getting recalls. Chris Wood, Fabian Schar and Sven Botman are benched, while the injured Allan Saint-Maximin misses out altogether.

Steve Cooper’s three alterations see new signings Renan Lodi, Cheikhou Kouyate and Remo Freuler oust Harry Toffolo, Jesse Lingard and Steve Cook.

Spurs’s only change – Yves Bissouma for Rodrigo Bentancur – is enforced, which means the usual front three and Ivan Perisic keep their places.

Hammers boss David Moyes makes three changes to the side that beat Aston Villa, with Michail Antonio, Vladimir Coufal and Said Benrahma starting. Ben Johnson, Emerson Palmieri and Gianluca Scamacca make way, while Lucas Paqueta is on the bench.

Albert Sambi Lokonga for the injured Mohamed Elneny is Mikel Arteta’s only alteration for Arsenal’s clash with Aston Villa.

Steven Gerrard makes four changes to the Villans’ side from Gameweek 4: Tyrone Mings, Emiliano Buendia, Leon Bailey and Jacob Ramsey come in as Douglas Luiz, Danny Ings, Calum Chambers and Philippe Coutinho drop to the bench.

Interim Bournemouth manager Gary O’Neil makes four changes to Cherries’ line-up as Neto, Lloyd Kelly, Philip Billing and Dominic Solanke are promoted to the starting XI. Marcos Senesi, Kieffer Moore, Jaidon Anthony and Mark Travers are benched.

Opponents Wolves are unchanged.

    Glad I sold Robbo

  18. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Liverpool can only beat Bournemouth

  19. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Someone say Cancelo's stats are bad?

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Cancelo's stats are bad

      1. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        1 Goal is that a bad stat?

        1. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I don't know, I'm just doing what you asked.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      They are. This goal was outside the box, low probability of being scored

      1. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        He has proved in the past that he can score goals from outside to box, this is not a surprise.

        1. Zenith UK
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          He has three goals in the past TWO PL seasons... He's one of the worst conversion rates in the league.

          1. Randaxus
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            In the past two seasons he has 15 assists and is playing for the best defence in the league, i.e he is worth 7M

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

      Well they are.

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Maheez coming in, let’s see for who

  21. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Looks like Haaland coming off for Mahrez?
    Happy with that if he plays villa!

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      This is the result we wanted.
      Off for an early bath - Alvarez played today as well.

      He’s starting v Villa 🙂

  22. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Haaland fail!

  23. FPL DONKEY
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Salah is such a nostalgia pick

  24. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I really wanted Liverpool to lose the clean sheet. FPL gods listened.

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

  28. Bubz

    3 years, 7 months ago

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Got Robbo, TAA and Salah (C)

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

    2. Ephurion
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

  29. JBG
    • 7 Years
