Five more Premier League matches follow on from Manchester City’s shock defeat to Brentford in the lunchtime kick-off:

After the Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne captaincy fails, there’s a chance for Mohamed Salah backers to make some ground today.

The Egyptian starts in a Liverpool side showing only one change from the Gameweek 15 win over Tottenham Hotspur, as Ibrahima Konate misses out and Joe Gomez comes in at centre-half.

Nathan Jones starts his Southampton reign by bringing in Duje Caleta-Car, Adam Armstrong and Romeo Lavia for Theo Walcott, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and the injured Juan Larios.

In north London, Antonio Conte makes two changes to the Spurs team that lost at home to Liverpool in their last Premier League game.

The fit-again Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski both return, replacing the benched Yves Bissouma and the injured Ryan Sessegnon.

Willy Gnonto for the injured Jack Harrison is Jesse Marsch’s only alteration.

There’s only one change between the two sides at the London Stadium and it’s an enforced one at that: Luke Thomas replaces the injured James Justin for Leicester City, who take on unchanged West Ham United.

Bournemouth’s two changes from Gameweek 15 are in defence, with Jordan Zemura and Jack Stephens recalled, Ryan Fredericks dropping to the bench and Chris Mepham suspended.

Everton also make two alterations from last weekend as Nathan Patterson and Neal Maupay replace Seamus Coleman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The latter is out injured.

Forest players who impressed in midweek are rewarded for their displays as Jesse Lingard, Joe Worrall, Willy Boly and Renan Lodi oust Steve Cook, Scott McKenna, Neco Williams and Emmanuel Dennis from Steve Cooper’s XI.

Palace are unchanged but the fit-again Odsonne Edouard is back on the bench.

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Toney + Tavernier/Andreas first sub, or Zaha + Solanke first sub?

    1. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      for Boxing day?

      1. sirmorbach
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes! And onwards. For my current WC WC (World Cup wildcard!)

  2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    For all of my awful moves in recent weeks / on WC, Robbo has been unexpectedly great

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Awesome! Congrats.

  3. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Harry Kane sounded like he’s injured. If Conte makes him play second half England may as well not fly out to Qatar

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That would be a positive step

    2. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They shouldn’t go regardless of his injury. They are terrible

    3. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      he wont get too many soft goals and pens in Qatar

  4. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane only 5 goals away from 200 prem goals…

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      1 trophy away from 1 career trophy too

      1. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        boom roasted

        1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Dry Roasted no lube

  5. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Rodrigo 4 goals in 4 games.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      His goals per 90 must be crazy this season!

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Still a chance for Toney to make the England squad now Maddison could be out!

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      *if

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That came to my thought when seeing Maddison walked off the pitch.

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Southgate will take Bowen.

      He has an unbalanced squad IMO. Defensively weak especially in midfield.

  7. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Im glad i brought him in for his 20min injury back then

    1. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Reply fail

  8. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah will probably still get pts in 2nd half, but don't forget the 9-0 blank vs Bournemouth

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Or haul against City.

  9. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who won the missed Leicester penalty earlier?

    1. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Daka

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks - Sofascore showing Ward which made no sense lol7

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Daka

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Daka

    4. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Daka I think

    5. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Postman patson

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

    CLEAR of Haaland.

  11. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Zaha missing that pen hurts. 19 points with 3 ti go does not sound great. 45 left, of course.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Zaha's penalty success % is worth checking. He is no Litmanen, Kane or Haaland.

  12. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How is Salah looking?

    Naturally I captained Haaland for his mega Haul earlier, liklihood of getting a return from Mo?

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not bad, could do with a haircut

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He missed great chance to score in first half.

      Heavily involved in setting up more than shooting so far.

    3. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah's passing skills are shockingly awful. He's the weakest link in today's attacking force

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Lol

  13. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Great start:
    3 x City and captain = 6pts
    Zaha punt based on projected points = -1pt

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Got to love this game

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Not again, Danny Ward...

  15. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Sold Salah last week - 2goals
    Sold Toney this week- 2goals

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Would like to know who you would've got rid of next so I can bring them in

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Good that there are no gws for a month now

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly. Plus unlimited transfers.

    3. Mirror Man
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Changer your name to Lada please, thanks.

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

      And so the zaha rollercoaster continues

      1. Mirror Man
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He's a silly goose isn't he? Have to laugh.

      2. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Dier was such a bad pick

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

          If u love dier, you'll love Trent for 7.5m

        2. The Train Driver
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Conte agrees

      3. The Train Driver
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Poor Maddison, was so happy to get the call. 🙁

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          WHat's up? Did he get injured now?

          1. The Train Driver
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah, doesn't look good.

            1. Rolls-Royce
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Bad luck. Such a shame.

      4. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Wow this is bad.

        Surely no one can beat 4 from 7 at HT?

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Reminds me of last weeks

      5. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Zaha rewarding to those who sold him last week. As a zaha owner feeling disappointed..

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          As Zaha owner missed penalty was no surprise tbh.

      6. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Watching spurs goal, for me thats a foul on the goalie.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Harry Kane scored though, never being ruled out.

          1. lilmessipran
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I know people say this as banter but there is a serious pattern to how many jammy Kane goals have been allowed by Var since it has been introduced

            1. CABAYE4
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              And how many times he doesn’t get sent off

            2. The Polymath
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              You have to buy a ticket

        2. CABAYE4
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          No ref ever takes a goal off Kane.

          England captain bias.

        3. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Just a tad. But I have Kane so NO FOUL

        4. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Everyone in the Sky studio agrees with you!

        5. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Where was the foul?

      7. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        The Emerson miss earlier: https://dubz.co/v/8d0agf

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Special talent.

        2. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He was brutal for Summerville's goal too.

        3. lilmessipran
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Each and every gw he does something that will make you wonder how has he landed a contract with Spurs

      8. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I was on 300k and have Darwin on 13 points, still red arrow. Who is hurting me kane?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          How many hits?

        2. Mozumbus
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Toney Maddison as well, maybe
          Have you got Zaha?

          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

        2. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Was the shot on target?

        3. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He didn't save it

        4. SirWenger
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          It was post that saved it not Hendo

      13. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Indeed. I hope he comes on too.

        2. lilmessipran
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          You do realize he's on the bench?

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Yes counting down the minutes he has left to come on and haul!

        3. Gizzachance
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          On bench, unless you need him

      14. TyroneGAA
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Damn really wanted Darwin but needed to make 2 changes and a -4 so went wilson to martial

        1. AIRMILES
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          If it makes you feel better, I brought him in.

        2. ‘Tis the Season
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Martial…lol

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          1. TyroneGAA

            3 years, 4 months ago

        4. sulldaddy
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I would have had to sell Foden to get the funds for Mitro to Darwin...so went Firmino instead

      15. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Last minute Mitro > Darwin because I couldn't afford Salah. Finally some good fortune
