Five more Premier League matches follow on from Everton’s win over Arsenal, including the first instalment of Manchester United’s Double Gameweek 22.

Times given in GMT

The team news from Old Trafford is what most Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers will be interested in, and there’s bad news for owners of Anthony Martial.

The Frenchman is absent from the Red Devils’ squad this afternoon, with Erik ten Hag’s team showing two changes from Gameweek 21: Casemiro is back from suspension and Fred is recalled, with the injured Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay making way.

“He had a setback from the game when he returned. He thought he could build up, but he dropped a little bit back. We have to wait, we have to be patient not to force it.” – Erik ten Hag on Anthony Martial

United’s opponents, Crystal Palace, make three changes from their last game. Joel Ward, Eberechi Eze and the injured Wilfried Zaha are replaced by Will Hughes, Michael Olise and Nathaniel Clyne.

Brighton are without the injured Evan Ferguson, while Moises Caicedo is benched after being the subject of a few bids in the January transfer window.

Bournemouth make five changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest a fortnight ago. January signings Antoine Semenyo and Hamed Traore both start, while Chris Mepham, Marcos Senesi and Philip Billing all return. There’s still no Dominic Solanke, however.

Hugo Bueno is benched for Wolves this afternoon, with Rayan Ait-Nouri taking his place. Craig Dawson, Matheus Cunha and Pablo Sarabia also come in for the hosts.

Darwin Nunez and Joel Matip are recalled at the expense of the injured Ibrahima Konate and the benched Harvey Elliott for Liverpool.

Alex Moreno surprisingly drops to the bench for Aston Villa, with the fit-again Lucas Digne taking his place.

Victor Kristiansen, Tete and Harry Souttar all make their debuts for Leicester.

Brentford make two changes to the side that drew with Leeds, as Yoane Wissa and Aaron Hickey come in for Mads Roerslev and Kristoffer Ajer.

Romain Perraud, Samuel Edozie, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Romeo Lavia replace Lyanco, Kyle Walker-Peters, Carlos Alcaraz and Adam Armstrong for Southampton.

    Klopp will have to go, this is embarrassing

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lol one bad season. Klopp can turn it around next season. Liverpool need to put faith in him

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Klopp needs Liverpool to buy him top players like they've done for him the past.

        1. BobbyDoesNotLook
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Most of their players are injured. Getting them back is the first thing, not buying all the shiny new things. Everybody healthy plus one class midfielder would be enough.

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Most of their players injured?!? VVD and Fabinho presumably come straight back into the team when fit. They've already bought shiny new things at vast cost who cover Diaz and Jota missing.

  2. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Matip has to come off NOW! Thats just sad.

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sounds more painful than sad. What have you been doing to it?!

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nat Phillips & Rhys Williams on at HT to start the 2nd half of the season title charge!

  3. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How can I sell Almiron before Bournemouth and Liverpool.

    Br Bobby Firmino

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Pool is also home match.

  4. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    If people don't know, Liverpool's recruitment department has been struggling ever since Michael Edwards left

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      What about their management?

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Management would've been fine if they didn't waste 70-80m on Darwin and bought smartly like they used to before

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Selling Mane was the biggest mistake

        2. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Do you think Klopp has no say in who they buy? If he wanted a midfielder, he would have got one, but they’re taking the risk waiting for Bellingham.

          1. Bartowski
            • 15 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            He put all his eggs in one basket trying to get Tchouameni and didn't seem to have a back up plan.

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Mental how they didn’t just poach someone like Neves or Tielemans for relatively cheap instead of buying another left-winger. As if Woodward is pulling the strings for them.

              1. Bartowski
                • 15 Years
                2 years, 11 months ago

                Yeah definitely something about assuming what they had was good enough other than signing who they deemed to be a world class mid. Obviously that proved incorrect.

                1. x.jim.x
                  • 11 Years
                  2 years, 11 months ago

                  I’d be looking for Fabinho’s birth certificate myself. Fell off like he’s going on 40, not 30…

          2. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Nunez has also only got 2 goals fewer than star-man Salah, despite injuries and suspensions, so not sure it’s fair to blame him.

          3. DaniCT
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Bellingham will have an effect only if we do not have injuries. Diaz, Thiago, and Bell would be great to see.

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Bellingham ain’t going to a club in the Conference League, mate.

  5. x.jim.x

    Rashford SoT

  6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Soo… too soon to start considering the Everton defenders? Nice fixtures 24, 25 and 26…

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      23 a good fixture also

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      We can start considering. But let's see next gw first at least. Btw when is Patterson back? I just sold him.

    3. MamboNumberOne
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Was already considering Pickford or Tarkowski the second Dyche got appointed. Will probably get one of them in the next couple of weeks.

  7. tbos83

    Watkins essential
