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

    Dare someone to captain Salah at the weekend

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

      I mean it’s Nottingham Forest…

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

      Klopp is ruining him and in turn destroying the club's scoring prowess. Nunez is not dependable as Salah is.

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      50/50 prior today's game yes now unsure & if worth going back to Haaland

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

    Q - if a player strikes a pen and it’s going wide but the keeper ‘saves’ it, do penalty save points still get awarded?

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

      Is it a shot on target?

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

        No

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

      How’s a keeper diving past the post?

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

        Happens, sometimes happen in open play too

  3. Viper
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Really like the look of this WC. Any thoughts?

    Kepa

    Cancelo Trippier Doherty (Tarkowski Neco)

    Saka Foden Martinelli Salah (Andreas)

    Darwin Haaland Mitrovic/Scamacca

    Thoughts?

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

      Yup excellent

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

      Like it

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

        Other possibility is downgrading Tarkowski and Mitro to Toney ?

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

    Suck a duck Bowen.

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

    Shaw KTFO

  6. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Why oh why is Klopp playing Salah as aright back ??

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Because I captained him

  7. josh7191
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Errrrm Alison penalty save points? Why haven't they been added. They will add them right xd got Bowen so loving his miss obvs

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Off target so no pen save awarded

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Just kidding, they'll be added soon 😉

  8. BUZZBOMB ♡
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    And so it goes on.

    GW9 Jesus to Mitro
    GW10 Saliba to James
    GW11 held
    GW12 KDB, James and Maddison to Salah (c), Guehi and Bowen

    Currently on 1 -4 for this GW's transfers. 1st hit of the season. If I had only swapped James and captained Zaha (vc)...

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

      Salah C Guehi Kilman Bowen so far

      1. Josh.E
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Same dilemma and I took a hit what a disaster!

  9. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A). Salah vs Forest and Andreas +4
    B). Saka and Foden

    The answer is B ain't it

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

      A

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

      A

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

      Yup and it's blowing in the wind

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

      Salah out for a hit before playing Forest? I'm all for it.

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

      A

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

      Always the one with Salah

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

    That Bowen penalty miss could be season defining for me, no-one in any of my mini leagues has him, just can't catch any luck in this game.

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

      SEASON DEFINING.

      Give me footing strength man. Get a grip

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

        I've lost leagues by 1 or 2 points plenty of times, that sort of bad luck can cost big time

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

      Consider yourself lucky he won’t be on the next penalty and miss that one too

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

        Odds that being season defining are extremely slim imo

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

          Make good decisions and the right picks but just get bad luck

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

      Rival has Neco on bench and gets him because Paqueta is not playing. I have Bowen and Estupinan.

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

    Is too early for Salah captain fail shout ?

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

      No

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

      Too late if anything

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

    Spurs looking a bit sloppy

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

      Playing Perisic and Son on the same side is a huge mistake imo

      Perisic is suffocating their golden boot winner, I don’t get it honestly why Conte is insisting on it

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

    Rashford needs to finishing those

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

    Romero not booked because?

  15. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mo Salah, welcome to the infield

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

    Trashford is back.

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

    Loris on fire

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

    Cresswell is a minging egg sandwich.

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Eh?

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

    Lloris is flying!

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

    Salah out for a hit and spread the cash ?

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

      good move, 13m is so not worth

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

    LLoris is saving them all

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

    12 points from 9 incl captain drunken sailah

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

    Ljioris looks possessed

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

    Kepa is unreal, where did he come from ?

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

    Anyone rage selling Bowen?

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

      I hope they do

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

      If I rage sold all my players who blanked this week, I'd be on a -36 point hit.

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

      And Mount, Tossard, Salah, Wilson?

    4. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes. Moaning until May about how I brought him in as part of a hit for a -1 for 1 week is worth far more to me than any measily points he scores hereon.

      He came for a hit and will probably go for one too. May hold Zaha but he's going for Foden or Saka.

  26. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lloris on for massive save points

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

    Lloris is having a blinder

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

    Another big GW for keepers ?

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

    Well at least I'm not hopeful of Spurs managing to keep a clean sheet any more

  30. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Manchester dominating so far, hope that materialize
