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.

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

    i am getting fed up of this negative football... i'd love Poch back to be honest.
    Although i have to think if the Kane + Son conection was the same as last few years we would probably woukldn't have lost a game yet...

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

      The fact they turn up and play with such little effort is pathetic tbh. Also conte making 0 subs till the 85th minute just bizarre. Can't remember us playing that bad since the Jose days.

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

      What a crock of lightweight borefests, not a scrapper amongst them.
      Stale Stale Stale Bread with that green stuff on 'em.

      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He is just bad

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

      Almost as unlucky as when that perfectly good goal was ruled out v Everton

    Which one to bench?

    A) Zaha (eve)
    B) Martinelli (sou)

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      Huh?

  25. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    This would be a great week for Iverson to get his chance.

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

      Won’t happen now Ward is keeping clean sheets

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

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        of course

  26. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Best Liverpool player to get on WC?

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

      Steven Gerrard

    2. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Trent

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

        and Salah (C) vs. NFO

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Currently on salah but tempted to ditch for Nunez to free up
          Funds

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

      Steven Caulker

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

      Alisson?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeh good shout

  27. AARON-1
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Normally, we'd all be salivating at the prospect of captaining Salah against Forest. Not anymore, though.
    I think I'll give the armband to Haaland.
    If Salah scores three, so be it.

  28. -GK22-
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Dunk, almiron and Zaha stars of my wildcard who’d have thought!

    If only I’d captained dunk like my daughter suggested!

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

      You’ll never win anything with (not listening to) kids.

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

      That would have been a slam dunk

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

    Would fancy Man Utd vs. Chelsea next week if they can play like this given how unconvincing Chelsea have looked recently

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

      0-0

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

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

      If they were at home then yes

      But they aren’t, so no

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

      its not that United have played well its that Spurs didnt come to play football...

    6. The Senate
      • 7 Years

      Kepa 10 saves

  30. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
