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.

    Never bench Raya @ home 🙁

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

      He's been an utter gem these past 2 weeks, keeping the faith has really paid off and next 3 fixtures are great

    2. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This. FFS. Ward...

      1. The Abyss
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Bamford’s gonna tear Ward a new one tomorrow, I can smell it.

  2. wakenbagel
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bowen goal would have done wonders. Hope Kane returns to salvage something from this gameweek and turn that arrow green maybe.

  3. Henning
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Foden in for Mount or Trossard?

    1. Eastman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I have both and Trossard out for me.

  4. Lilac Breasted Roller
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Didn't watch, what's the verdict on

    A) Salah
    B) Mount

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

      Haul imminent

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A. Not worth 13m
      B. Always a troll

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

      A) Not worth the price, plays too wide
      B) Was always going to blank when he was heavily bought by people who probably didn’t watch his goals last week

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

    Cmon Kane cap

  9. Steve The Spud

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

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

    Shocking from Anthony, the United attackers are too selfish

  11. Zidane's Floor
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Hey everyone let's be positive

    Trippier, what a guy
    Neco Williams, what a rare clean sheet
    Liverpool clean sheet thanks to a nice pen from Bowendowski

    Anyone else want to add?

  12. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 5 months ago

    A GW of surprise Raya & Neco contributed significant points 😛

  13. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Any yellow cards of note? Of the one match ban variety.

  14. Original Sin
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Any chance that Ward doesnt turn up? 10 points is huge this week

  15. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Trossard > Saka (-4)?

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

      I’d even do it for a -12

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I am doing that for free

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

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Well done, that’s def a green arrow

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

      That's a shocking captaincy, lucky pen save saved you

  18. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 5 months ago

    3 - Alisson

    1. Mr. O'Connell

      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kepa robbed

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

      9 from Trippier(C) and Raya, delicious

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Tremendous

  19. jimmy12
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Only me would bench Raya and play Ward
    Now watch Leicester lose 5-0 😀

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

      Hopefully Harrison involved

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

      That’s what the great minds on 3 polls reckoned

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

    Honest and serious answers only.

    Is there a better player in the world right now than Miggy Almiron?

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

      Funny thing is he’s genuinely better than grealish

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

      Cresswell

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

      He’s now on 1 more point than Salah for the season lol

  21. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    With so many low scores that Bowen goal could make a huge difference. Frustration.

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

      Yep, said it was season defining for me

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

    I got 11 players out this game week with not hits, my rival missed the deadline and is comfortably outscoring me

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

      Wildcarded and on a red arrow. And ranked 3m.

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

        Ouch, why does that always happen on a WC!?

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

          To top it off it's a WC in a blank week where the most popular picks were Haaland (c) and Jesus (vc)...

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

    Pope is so annoying to own!

    2 or 6 and he eats up a lot of £...

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      And has spurs next so not much chance of save points 🙁

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

        Professionals will be starting ward next week anyway

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

      It beats the 1s or 3s Sanchez and Raya had been giving me all season so far

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Switched to Kepa 3 weeks ago has been a great move (very lucky as only did it to free up cash as had 2ft)

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

        Planned to then James got crocked, great move!

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Come to Raya! 😛

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

    Bissouma has been shocking tonight

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

      So strange. Looked solid after coming on in the last game. ManU has played well though

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

    Raya on bench super annoying. Trippier captain and TAA relieving some pain though.

    1. jimmy12
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same
      Expected Chelsea to score

  26. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Trippier (vc) hurts a little bit.

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

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same. Salah is a fraud

  27. POGON 1948
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Trippier (C) Salah (VC) worked just as expected

  28. brixtonBob
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Another week of terrible matches. Standard of football overall in the PL is very poor at the moment.

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

      Teams scared to lose. I'm proposing a new points system of 5 points for a win, 0 points for a loss and -5 points for a draw.

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

      Have you watched all of the games tonight then ?

  29. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What a boring night of football

  30. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    3 CS’s in 4 games for Brentford
