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.

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

      I wouldn't be surprised if he reached 50

    2. WVA

  14. TomSaints

  15. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

  19. Zimo

    Haaland to be a differential captain in 19?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’ll still captain him I reckon

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

        Some will go for doublers

  20. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    What’s Haalands EO? 200%?

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

      No 195% so 5% gain 😎

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

    Trippier is definitely getting an assist in this game.

  22. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone got this Erling chap, flew under the radar a tad, anyone brave enough to captain him would have done alright!

  23. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Might go Kdb to Sterling tbh, for DGW and back again week after.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Was thinking of something similar but Kevin loves a big game

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

      No chance

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago
