In the final Premier League match of the day, Leeds United host Aston Villa at Elland Road.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Jesse Marsch makes three changes from the side that lost 5-2 at Brentford in Gameweek 8, as Liam Cooper, Rasmus Kristensen and Rodrigo all start.

The latter returns after a shoulder injury, having scored four goals in the first five Gameweeks.

Patrick Bamford, meanwhile, is among the substitutes.

As for the visitors, Diego Carlos, Boubacar Kamara, Matty Cash and Lucas Digne are all out, which does leave the Villans somewhat short at the back.

That means Ludwig Augustinsson is handed a debut, while Douglas Luiz will screen the back four.

Budget midfielder Leon Bailey also starts alongside Philippe Coutinho and Ollie Watkins in attack.

GAMEWEEK 9 LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Kristensen, Koch, Cooper, Struijk, Adams, Roca, Sinisterra, Aaronson, Harrison, Rodrigo

Subs: Klaesson, Ayling, Firpo, Llorente, Gnonto, Summerville, Klich, Bamford, Greenwood

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Young, Konsa, Mings, Augustinsson, Luiz, Ramsey, McGinn, Bailey, Coutinho, Watkins

Subs: Olson, Bednarek, Archer, Sanson, Buendia, Bogarde, Nakamba, Dendoncker, Ings

Haaland Foden

      He is definitely one of those players though who can be really quiet and then just score a goal.

          It does look like this. It was only a year ago that Foden was an occasional inclusion in the Pep roulette but it seems like he’s a mainstay now and good value. With Southampton next, I feel another week of KDB, Cancelo and Haaland does no harm

        Pep Roulette can always sting but this season they are going to break records with scoring goals. Foden has also nailed his spot in the team. It was not like a situation where you would find Kun on the bench when it comes to Haaland.

        Just never pick Mahrez or Grealish.

    If Trossard can score hatrick at Anfield, imagine what Haaland can do.

      Haaland has been autocap for a while now. There is no point taking risks.

    There litterally are no defenders or GK's you can depend on, that is why I may just decide to keep my double Arsenal defence, Gabriel and Saliba. James and Trips the other 2 to keep. I may as well stick with Henderson as well. No GK's standing out.

    It is looking like any defender 7m up is taking points away from spots in your attack tbh. Just cannot rely on clean sheets.
