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.

    Casemiro ain't a finished fraud, sadly.

    1. Steve Stiffler
      4 years, 7 days ago

      He was very solid tonight, stupid to leave him out of the team.

      Poor Maguire must feel like completely useless lol

  2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    4 years, 7 days ago

    I've had Kane in two GWs this season, GW1 and GW12. He has returned in every single gameweek except GW1 and GW12. Funny old game

    Perisic subbed

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Got as much as I expected tonight. Sadly could have done with having him next week but suppose that's a doubt!

  4. 1zverGGadeM
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Spurs can blame the away kits designer for their poor form on tour 😀

  5. TheTinman
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Conte might get results but I would never want him to manage my team.

    Looks like a rat
    Whines and moans like a biatch
    Teams play awful football

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Eddie Howe looks like an uglier version of a young Steve Bruce

      1. TheTinman
        4 years, 7 days ago

        You take that back

    2. Royal5
      4 years, 7 days ago

  6. Zimo
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Wow Ronaldo just walked down the tunnel

    1. Zimo
      4 years, 7 days ago

      He's such a crybaby when he doesn't play.

    2. fantasist
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Yep hes already not happy with his bench role. And now no mins either.

    3. TheTinman
      4 years, 7 days ago

      ETH should have let him go.

      Arrogant man thinks he is better than one of the top 10 greatest players of all time.

      Let Ronaldo play matches in some farmers league like Italy or France ffs

      1. Zimo
        4 years, 7 days ago

        No one wanted him my dude.

        1. TheTinman
          4 years, 7 days ago

          Not true

          1. Zimo
            4 years, 7 days ago

            Very true

            1. El Presidente
              4 years, 7 days ago

              Not true at all

          2. x.jim.x
            4 years, 7 days ago

            Let’s have some names then

    4. Noisy Neighbour
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Can’t hold his piss for 5 more minutes to celebrate his teammates’ performance. What an a-hole.

    5. Utopsis
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Without fully knowing why, the optics look terrible

    6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      4 years, 7 days ago

      And without smashing any fans phones too

      1. 1zverGGadeM
        4 years, 7 days ago

        this

    7. jacob1989
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Think he ll go to Inter Miami, the Chinese league or a Saudi League by January

  7. Ibralicious
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Is Dier going to get the own goal or will FPL Towers let this one slide? Really hoping they let it slide Dier not looking too pretty in my baclkine atm :I

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      It was on target so will stay as Fred’s

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      It wasn't Dier it was Davies. And it's not gonna be given as an own goal since the shot was on target.

  8. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Do we think Doherty starts v Newcastle at weekend?

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Is Emerson back from his ban?

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Doherty had a tough time today and got subbed for Sessengon. Emerson has had a nice rest. Couldn't be too sure...

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Yeah, he’s first choice now I recon, he hasn’t done much tonight but the whole lot have been ghastly

  9. AzzaroMax99
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Sanchez to Guaita or Sa?

  10. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
    4 years, 7 days ago

    bye bye Christiano

  11. DycheDycheBaby
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Ronaldo fuming!!!

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      4 years, 7 days ago

      We all get crankier when we get older.

  12. JBG
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Kane this, Kane that. Fred was the man to get.

    But seriously, wish I forgot the deadline, would have had Zaha C.

  13. Supersonic_
    4 years, 7 days ago

    21
    + 3 bonus
    + 3 VC

    Ward Mitro Andreas left to play.

    Feels pretty damn poor.

    Great result for United, Ronaldo (C). Will only be upset if Mitro goes off.

  14. Ajax Hamsterdam
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Kane and gross to Darwin and foden for -4? Cheers

  15. Steinburg FC
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Ronaldo is still uniteds best player, hes just surrounded by mid table players

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      4 years, 7 days ago

      It's not the players imo...
      The gaffer isn't right 😉

    2. x.jim.x
      4 years, 7 days ago

      wildly bad take

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      4 years, 7 days ago

      He's a great goalscorer but the time has passed during which you could say he is actively a great player. He adds very little to any team's general play or defensive organisation or work

  16. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Salah on a WC seems a waste, yes they have NF next but everybody is gonna captain Erling anyway.

    £13m is a lot when you can easily the cash and easily get Saka, Martinelli, Foden and Zaha as your midfield 4.

    1. Stranger Mings
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Yeh not good value at all.

    2. BERGKOP
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Definitely better value in midfield at the moment.

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Could still have that 4 and salah

    4. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      He was the best captain on paper this week, but unfortunately didn't deliver the goods. Will let him have Forest and then probably bring in Saka for Forest

    5. jacob1989
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Exactly my point!

  17. MEGPAL
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Was Salah bad?

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Yeah he was wasted out on the wing

    2. Rainer
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Too wide when Liverpool had control. Then when Darwin went off to let him go central Thiago went off too and Liverpool lost control...

    3. Royal5
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Same as every game this season

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      4 years, 7 days ago

      He wasn't great, looked more threatening when Nunez went off and he went central, had a few shots and one decent chance. Worth nearly 13m? I dunno really, if I had I'd hold especially before Forest, but I don't and I already wasn't convinced by him, tonight certainly hasn't changed my mind

  18. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Well, there’s only one man who can save my season now…

    WARD

    1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Ward is draw spelt backwards. What this means I don't know

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        4 years, 7 days ago

        0-0 DRAW with 5 penalty saves

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      4 years, 7 days ago

      I have Bamford so have slightly more hope I feel/

  19. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Peresic was a load of s*** tonight

    Needs dropping for sess

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      I’m surprised Conte started him
      Son yet to get anything when on the field with Perisic vs. 7 goal involvements this season with Sessegnon playing

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Son has had plenty enough chances when Perisic has started. Probably has some effect but you can't blame it all on the other player.

  20. Thanos
    4 years, 7 days ago

    So United beat Liverpool, Arsenal and now Spurs. Not bad!

    1. Eleven Hag
      4 years, 7 days ago

      We are back

    2. Qaiss
      4 years, 7 days ago

      And yet they still won’t get top 4

  21. Babit1967
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Worst gw ever & had Bowen too

  22. Botman and Robben
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Hoping for an Andreas hatty, lol.

  23. Zimo
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Need Ashley Young brace to save my week

  24. Viper
    4 years, 7 days ago

    A. TAA & KDB

    B. Cancelo & Salah

    I'll have Foden, Darwin & Haaland either way..

    1. Under my Cucurella
      4 years, 7 days ago

      B

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      B

    3. jacob1989
      4 years, 7 days ago

      A

  25. JT11fc
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Dalot and Koulibaly minimising the red arrow, Mitro Pereira and Watkins still to come

  26. Under my Cucurella
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Hi all, any advice on below options appreciated

    A: Zaha > Foden/Saka
    B: Kilman > Robbo
    C: Guehi > VVD
    D: Save FT
    E: Other

    Guaita
    Trippier Kilman Cancelo
    Salah Zaha Martinelli Mount
    Toney Mitrovic Haaland

    Ward Andreas Dalot Guehi

    1FT 2.2ITB

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Mount to foden/saka

  27. Athletic Nasherbo
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Feeling a tad unlucky getting Rashford, Bowen, Darwin (-8).

    The swings and the chances, damn.

    We will call it variance.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      That’s brutal, rash should have bad a brace

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Yeah…

        Darwin should have had 2, Rashford 2, Bowen pen

        Atleast I find comfort in the decision-making process.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Feeling that. Own Bowen and Darwin and only 5 points between them when it could’ve been 20

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        4 years, 7 days ago

        I still don’t know how Rashford hasn’t scored

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          4 years, 7 days ago

          Rashford looked good, just missing the finish

  28. PogChamp
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Shame about Bruno's price but I need to ship Sterling out so do have the funds. Huge punt at 9.8m tho

  29. -GK22-
    4 years, 7 days ago

    56 with mitro left to play a success?

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      4 years, 7 days ago

      BAN

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Of course

    3. GENERATION X
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Look at me mummy

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Not really. If Andreas gets a hattrick tomorrow with no Mitro involvement then you're in trouble. Also heard Mitro didn't travel with the squad.

  30. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Who’s going to play Cb’s for England?
