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

      Should have seen the Barca game!

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

    How often do you need bench points versus the frustration of seeing a strong bench scoring points for you?

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

      5 subs a game changer.

      Unless a shock injury bench rarely gets used any more.

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

        Exactly

        I only have strong subs because I want to rotate them. I don't expect them to come in

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I've never once got bench points, same thing will happen this week, Andreas first on bench, Bueno second on bench, all my players will get minutes

  20. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    "He could have died!"

  21. More Cowbell
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Uh oh BT Sport suggesting Haaland could get red here

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

      Well that's him gone for 3 games if so

  22. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Haaland could have got RC there!

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

      Still might!

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

      Not even close imo

  23. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I’m so unlucky
    Went Robbo over Shaw
    Benched Andreas last minute for Martinelli
    I own KDB and he is so close but still no returns

  24. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    The fpl pain and misery over the next few weeks is going to be off the scale imo. Will fondly remember the Weghorst days.

  25. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Today's bonkers Barca game was a sign of things to come, then

  26. Atimis
    • 9 Years

      1. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago
