We’ve got four more Premier League matches to look forward to at the traditional Saturday afternoon kick-off time, including home matches for Manchester City and Newcastle United.

There’s more misery for owners of Joao Cancelo, Kyle Walker and Phil Foden, all of whom are only on the bench this afternoon.

Despite the very short turnaround between Gameweek 17-18, there’s only one change for Manchester City from their 3-1 win over Leeds United on Wednesday: Bernardo Silva takes the place of Ilkay Gundogan in midfield.

Julian Alvarez is also among the replacements for the hosts.

As for Everton, boss Frank Lampard makes four changes from the 2-1 loss to Wolves.

Conor Coady, Ben Godfrey, the fit-again Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Demarai Gray are recalled, with Neal Maupay and Dwight McNeil benched. Anthony Gordon and Yerry Mina miss out entirely because of illness.

Newcastle are unchanged for their clash with Leeds, so Callum Wilson has to be content with a place among the substitutes after recovering from illness.

Tyler Adams, Jack Harrison and Luke Ayling return for the Whites at the expense of the benched Marc Roca, Rasmus Kristensen and Sam Greenwood.

A Fulham side containing Aleksandar Mitrovic is unchanged for the visit of Southampton, who recall Armel Bella-Kotchap, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Joe Aribo at the expense of Romain Perraud, Ibrahima Diallo and Moussa Djenepo.

At Bournemouth, Jaidon Anthony for Jack Stacey is the only alteration for the hosts.

Crystal Palace’s two changes are both enforced, as Marc Guehi and Joel Ward replace the banned James Tomkins and Tyrick Mitchell.

    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would a city goal mean it more or less likely for Cancelo to come on?

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

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years

  22. Sun Jihai

    Shame Mitro didn’t save that for the DGW, Dennis style!

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

      Dennis -2 captain was epic trolling

  23. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    You know he would have taken his shirt off and gotten booked if he'd have scored anyway.

  24. fusen
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    KDB appears to be the deepest City player when they attack...

  25. Juza
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Mitro missing the penalty was glorious

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

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

      Good moves wrong results

  28. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    For all cities dominance. It’s another game with only 3 shots on target.

    Just not the lethal cutting edge (Halaand aside)

    1. fusen
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      KDB has been awful

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Think you need to give Everton some credit too - showing some fight to avoid relegation. Have riden their luck at times but that is a massive unexpected point for them.

  29. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    t00n

  30. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
