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.

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      In theory all better picks should pay off long term

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

        Just touched it and was a terrible touch

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years

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

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Trippier close second Huehuehue

  15. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Trippier captain max bonus

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      World class shout from you well done

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

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

    3. jacob1989

  19. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Casemiro, the antagonist to Fernandinho - gets the ball and STILL gets booked

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

    a) Mount > Saka
    b) Mount > Foden
    c) Zaha > Saka
    d) Zaha > Foden
    e) Mount & Zaha > Saka & Foden (-4)

  22. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How long til Potter loses the dressing room and the fans, by tinkering like this all year and them dropping winnable points.

    Granted they ARE unbeaten under him so far

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You haven't got a clue what you're talking about re Chelsea. 3 games in 9 days with the same to come . Think again

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

    Salah bonus points in yet?

  24. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Captain Trippier worked out well!

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I've forgot to set my team and accidently forgot the armband on Maddison and my vice is Tripps lol 😀

  25. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

  26. EffPeeEll
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Posted a few times that I couldn't figure why Mitro wasn't in the scout's captain poll

    Could make a decent week a great week.

    come on Mitro

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

  28. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    With so many mid priced players I can’t make a good team with Kane,Haaland and Salah as well on WC.

    Surely ditching Salah is the best call on WC?

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

      NFO next

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago
