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.

  17. Feloh
    • 9 Years

    Perisic cleanie gone.

  18. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years

    Antonio ruins Dier

  19. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Salah is essentially a 13m Graham Alexander at this point. Plays right back for a bottom half side and happens to be on pens.

  20. gonzalocampos
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I have 9.1M to replace Rodrigo. Who do I replace it?

    Current team:
    Sanchez
    Salliba - Elliot - TAA - Cancelo - James
    Salah - GroB - Andreas - Martinelli - Rodrigo*
    Halland - Jesus - Taylor

  21. g40steve

    Jimmy big miss

  22. Yome
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Time to ditch the Salah Diaz double up. Salah to KDB or Son

  23. Dat Guy Welbz
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Bournemouth defence putting many of these premium defenders to shame

  24. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Games crashed again

  25. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Salah first shot

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years

  26. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years

    Fook, that Gunners cleanie would've been welcomed

  27. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think he'll score 3 goals by the time the world cup starts tbh

      1. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        We can only hope!

  28. JamTart
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Martinellu goal, Perisic CS goes. Swings and roundabouts

  29. Reckoner.
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Losing faith in the Trent, Robbo double up. Thinking:

    Robertson & Reed > N.Williams & Foden

    Thoughts? Have Cancelo, Haaland and Salah also
