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.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

  13. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Pool chasing a goal and Klopp sub both Robbo and Trent. Has Klopp lost it?

    1. Hurnt
      • 12 Years

    Trippier yc

  15. MGD
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Wow this Liverpool team is pretty bleak…

  16. Puntillimon
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Tsimikas’ delivery not up to scratch

  17. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Man I always make one dumb decision every week that stops me getting a very good score, every time I swear.
    I did Martinelli>Odegard, mainly because I think everything goes through ode, and he is more nailed. Expected Martinelli to be benched this week.

    Ode off injured with 1 point, Martinelli 10 pointer.

    Better off never touching my team I swear to god.

  18. SirWenger
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Trippier trips YC

  19. Chalobah's Witness

  20. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Of course Trippier gets a yellow, why wouldn't.

  24. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Tripper yellow card.
    Muppet

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Actually it was an amazing decision to stop Diaz. He did good

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Tactically very good obviously. But tactical fouls don’t equal FPL points.

  25. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    How many yellows for Tripier ? Will he miss a game soon ?

    1. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Lol, he's on 2

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Lol

  26. Tsssst
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Who to replace Mendy with?

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Kepa

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Correct

  27. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    You get the impression that the first thing Trippier saw when he popped out of the womb was a yellow card from the midwife.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Bet the next thing he did was bend a freekick around her

  28. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Best midfielder up to 8m?

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Martinelli, obviously.

      But Zaha and Gordon on my radar. Also Barnes.
      All differentials.

    2. jimmyabs1987
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Zaha

    3. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Martinelli clear

    4. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Martinelli. Then Zaha.

  29. ☈☾
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Haaland is on 58 total points with everyone else on 30s

  30. Jump in Micah
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 19 days ago

    Can Carvalho still play for England?

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 19 days ago

      Not sure. Played at youth level for England but now with Portugal U21. Not sure if he's started a game yet though.
