Five more Gameweek 12 matches take place on Wednesday evening, with Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur following on from four 7.30pm BST kick-offs.

As predicted/feared, Jurgen Klopp and Graham Potter have made several changes this evening with the games coming thick and fast.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabio Carvalho, Kostas Tsimikas, Jordan Henderson and Darwin Nunez are all recalled by the Liverpool boss at Anfield tonight, with James Milner, Harvey Elliott, Andy Robertson and Fabinho benched and Diogo Jota now sidelined for months.

David Moyes gives Flynn Downes his first Premier League start for West Ham, while the fit-again Kurt Zouma and Pablo Fornals also return. Vladimir Coufal and Emerson Palmieri are demoted to substitute duty, while Lucas Paqueta has reportedly picked up a shoulder injury and is set for a spell out.

In west London, Graham Potter has matched Klopp in making five changes from the side that began the 2-0 win at Aston Villa at the weekend.

Out go Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, Mateo Kovacic, Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with all bar Chilwell on the bench. Kalidou Koulibaly, Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja are their replacements.

Hosts Brentford make two changes from the side that began the 2-0 win against Brighton last Friday as Zanka and Mads Roerslev oust Kristoffer Ajer and Yoane Wissa from the starting XI.

In the later kick-off, there is just one change apiece.

Marcus Rashford replaces Cristiano Ronaldo for the Red Devils, while Spurs’ Yves Bissouma comes in for the injured Richarlison as Antonio Conte opts for a 3-5-2 at Old Trafford.

On Tyneside, an unchanged Newcastle take on an Everton side who have Anthony Gordon and Dominic Calvert-Lewin back in their team. Dwight McNeil and Neal Maupay make way for the Toffees.

Some 300 miles south, Bournemouth are also unchanged for the south-coast non-derby.

The only alteration for visitors Southampton is enforced, with Duje Caleta-Car coming in to replace the injured Armel Bella-Kotchap.

  4. Hazz

    • 8 Years

    Mbeumo should have scored. Well held though Kepa!

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    This looks a classic Conte 0-1 win.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      As long as it's Harry

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane lucky goal 4 mins injury time

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

      You watching the same game?

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

        That's the joke

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

          A real knee slapper

  6. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wtf is Lloris on? He can calm down with those saves.

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    When will Salah come in play?

  8. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Chelsea that bad or Brentford that good?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Chelsea don’t have consistency and without Kante and Galagher the defense is a mess

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Chelsea always seem to be hanging on.

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Brentford all over Chelsea

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Brentford have outplayed us basically every time we've played each other in the last couple of years.

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Villa should have beaten Chelsea at that weekend tbf. So yeah, Chelsea bad.

  9. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How are Bournemouth looking, any chance for them to score ? Anyone watching?

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

    Elliott coming on, you Salah owners may yet have your wish

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      /put out of misery

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thought Spurs bought players like Bentancur, Hojbjerg and Bissouma to hold the midfield so that Kane wouldn't need to.

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Right, salah to kdb done

    Seen enough of this to know salah isn’t worth his price

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I hope this works a very strong reverse jinx

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why KDB? Foden much better value. Cancelo Foden Haaland sorted!

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Foden is better than KDB in value terms

  13. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Klopp better not take Trent off

  14. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Nunez off

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hurrah

  15. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Nunez close...

  16. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I hate u Klopp. Wait till 60 minutes u dik

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

      Van Dik?

  17. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Why does he take Nunez off? Ridiculous

    1. Steinburg FC
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      To play Salah up front

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yep

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He was extremely selfish

    4. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He may have scored one… but he’s missed so many chances.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He was excellent. How can't you see that

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        As has Salah

      3. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He was the best player on the pitch, jog on

    5. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Because he is so bad, new Ali Dia.

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Darwin out.

    Now can we have Salah up top please?

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

  19. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Before 60 mins. Classic Klopp

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

    Wonder if there's a fitness issue with Nunez? Perhaps tactical but seems early for that sort of a move

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      There are a lot of games coming and Liverpool have two of their key forwards out till New Year. That and Bobby won't be able to play every minute either.

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

        That's why I don't really get him not resting Firmino in the first place, he missed so much time last season and this is his third start in a week

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This is why the Arsenal triple up is so good, Arteta rarely makes early subs

  21. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Time to feast Mo. .

  22. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Klopp clippety Klopp Knob.

  23. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Strange taking nunez off. Expected firmino at least. Darwin has got his rest.

    No darwin owner

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

      Firmino too important to take off early

  24. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pope doesn’t make many saves does he

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

      Newcastle is too good now

      Same thing that's happened to Ramsdale

    2. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Jesus is the actual savior

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think every keeper that kept a clean sheet last week got 3 BAPS, Pope got none.

    4. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Any keeper would make saves at Burnley

  25. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Salah moved central....

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      O_O

  26. meule
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zanka is a starter now ?

  27. Ser Davos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Am I nuts?

    Potentially Salah to Saka, rather than Zaha to Saka...

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm thinking Salah to Saka rather than Trossard to Saka and Trossard is away at City

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not at all. Salah is shocking value

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yes, 3 of Salah's next 4 are Forest away and Leeds and Southampton at home

      1. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        oh yes, how could I forget!

    5. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      mmm cheers all

    Can't watch match but reading that Spurs are not looking good. Any hope with them?

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Man Utd well on top .. must have had 15 shots … Lloris on form. Spurs hemmed in and looking to counter.

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Will probably nick goal in the 2nd half

      1. bso
