There are five more Premier League matches taking place this afternoon, following on from the draw between West Ham United and Chelsea.

There’ll be plenty of attention from Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers on events at the Emirates, where Arsenal’s Double Gameweek begins with a clash against Brentford.

The Gunners are unchanged from their defeat at Everton, so there are starts for Gabriel Martinelli and Ben White after much discussion this week about their game-time.

Opponents Brentford make three changes from last weekend’s win over Southampton as part of their switch to a 3-5-2.

The defensive-minded alterations see Mads Roerslev, Kristoffer Ajer and Vitaly Janelt replace Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva and Yoane Wissa.

Above: Ownership and effective ownership stats in the top 10k, via LiveFPL. Five different Arsenal players are owned by more than 40% of these managers.

Arsenal’s north London rivals are also in action, away at Leicester.

Tottenham Hotspur make three changes to their side, two of which are enforced: Fraser Forster comes in for the injured Hugo Lloris, while Japhet Tanganga replaces the suspended Cristian Romero.

New signing Pedro Porro is also promoted to the line-up for his debut, with Emerson Royal benched.

Nampalys Mendy in for the injured Youri Tielemans is Leicester’s only change.

There are five alterations across the two teams in the M23 derby.

James Tomkins and Jean-Philippe Mateta replace Chris Richards and Odsonne Edouard for Palace, while the Seagulls recall Alexis MacAllister, Moises Caicedo and Adam Webster at the expense of Tariq Lamptey, Billy Gilmour and Danny Welbeck.

Evan Ferguson is fit again but only among the substitutes.

At Craven Cottage, Fulham are unchanged for the visit of Nottingham Forest.

Steve Cooper’s two alterations see Serge Aurier and Gustavo Scarpa come in for Neco Williams and Danilo.

Paul Onuachu and Kamaldeen Sulemana make their full Southampton debuts as Nathan Jones makes four changes, with Carlos Alcaraz and Ainsley Maitland-Niles also starting.

Che Adams, Samuel Edozie, Ibrahima Diallo and Mohamed Elyounoussi make way.

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui makes only one change and it’s an enforced one at that: Hwang Hee-chan is injured, so is replaced by Joao Moutinho.

    How do they miss the offside on Nørgaard when their only job is to check for offsides?

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

      VAR is utterly pointless

  2. villa_til_i_die

  6. George Sillett
    • 10 Years

    1. WVA

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have to admit I didn't see Spurs getting battered this hard.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Oh yeah, Forster.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          + no Romero

        2. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Agent Forster doing his best for his boyhood team.

      2. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Leicester are on the up

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane loves to score against the Foxes. What's happening?!

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    VAR just not arsed today it seems.

  11. Zimo
    • 7 Years

    Lol at spurs tho

  12. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane showing Leicester how he scored 200 goals so far and why he loves playing against them. On a hattrick so far, impressive.

  13. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wow, how crap are Spurs?

  14. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Forster: gets paid by football

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

    Lol at people actually saying Spurs are better off without Lloris. Forster is shocking.

  16. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Raya 5 points and conceded, hero

  17. villa_til_i_die
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I’d like to bin Kane, but know it would come back to haunt me!

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

      Why would you sell him?

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why would you even think to bin him is the real question here

  18. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Mitro OFF

  19. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Schär haul needed

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Indeed, never have I needed a haul more from anyone as I do today

  20. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Where is Callum Wilson?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Injured.

      1. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thx.
        Must be related to Martial somehow

  21. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Can someone explain whats happening with these players?
    - Kane (supposedly a goal machine against a poor defense)
    - Nketiah (second highest xGI in the game yet blanks twice in a row)

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think that’s just what you call Football

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Both suffering from Darwinitis

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Just check the profits of betting companies and it’ll tell you most of what you need to know

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        100%...wonder if it's even possible to make a long term profit on continuous betting for FPL

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

    Zinchenko would be decent if he knew how to pass and shoot.

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Add tackle to that too.

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    C'mon Mitoma, another last gasp winner please?

  24. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Come on Brentford, get another

  25. Haalander
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I have to hope an Arsenal draw here really makes TC Haaland goal hungry this game week!

  26. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Spurs let off after scoring first goal

  27. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Richarlison gets a fk off a lamentable dive

  28. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Nathan Jones fail

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sacked in the morning

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Needs to be put out of his misery. Should be kept away from a post match interview for his own good.

  29. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This spurs defence is laughable without Romero, wouldn’t look out of place in a Sunday league game

  30. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago
