There are four Premier League games on Sunday with a triple-header at 14:00 GMT.

Fulham host Arsenal, Southampton visit Manchester United and West Ham United meet Aston Villa at the London Stadium.

Mikel Arteta makes two changes following his side’s 3-2 win over Bournemouth, as Ben White and Granit Xhaka come in for Takehiro Tomiyasu and Fabio Vieira.

That means Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard are both fit to start despite heading into the weekend as doubts, while Gabriel Jesus is back on the bench after returning from injury.

Fulham also make two changes, with Tosin Adarabioyo and Bobby De Cordova-Reid replacing Issa Diop and Willian. The latter is not part of the matchday squad.

In Manchester, Erik ten Hag names an attacking starting XI that could see Bruno Fernandes deployed in a deeper midfield role alongside Casemiro. That’s because Fred drops to the bench with Jadon Sancho taking his place. In the hosts’ only other change, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is in for Diogo Dalot.

There is one alteration for Southampton. Ainsley Maitland-Niles is not in the squad so Romain Perraud comes into the first XI.

It’s two changes for West Ham in east London and they both arrive at the back after the 4-0 thrashing at Brighton and Hove Albion in Gameweek 26. Thilo Kehrer and Kurt Zouma come in for Ben Johnson and Angelo Ogbonna.

As for Aston Villa, Leon Bailey returns to the starting XI as Boubacar Kamara misses out through injury as expected. Diego Carlos, meanwhile, is in the matchday squad for the first time since suffering an Achilles injury in August 2022.

          3 years, 2 days ago

          1 transfer and you play with 9, just like me.
          So up to you, I'm not using it.

        2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 days ago

          Ew, yer. 28 or 32, for sure, if you hang onto those players.

  3. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 2 days ago

    Soton must be due another 9-0 at Old Trafford, please let it be today.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      it could be handy!

      it looks like they'll lose but let's see if they have improved.

      A strong Manchester win may help Spurs too next week.

  4. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    It does look like Bruno is a midfield sitting 2 with Weghorst in the whole.

    Hopefully they'll be fluid enough.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Yuk

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      *hole even

      my English is going down hill fast

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        I mean, the fact you speak (at least) two languages is already impressive...

    3. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      I think ETH just said Sancho will be the no 10, but yeah, looks like Bruno deeper alongside Casemiro.

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        This

  5. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Cheeky repost
    my wc team

    Kepa neto
    trippier chillwell mee mings estu
    saka martinelli mitoma rashford 5th spot
    watkins toney kane

    8m itb

    who could be 5th spot?
    a billing (plays gw28)
    b brighton mid( no game gw28 but possibly better option on bb29)

    Thank you and gl, would really appreciate some help guys 🙂

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Think Brighton x 2 games might be better than Billing x 3 games? Maddison could be another option?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        Madison too much money though

  6. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    So I finally benched Tarkowski...

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

      Ha Ha - so did the same, 1st sub, been hoping for a Watkins or Odegaard no show but no joy.

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

      He’ll be back to zero pointers when we play him next week.

    3. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Haha, as did I, we can’t get them all right but I was sorely tempted to start him…

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

    Any weghorst cappers?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      His parents

  8. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    Mitoma this, Toney that.

    Maybe the real FPL points is the friends we made along the way.

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

      Just like FPL points, I have no friends.

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        Aww, we’ll be your friend Fred 🙂

    2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Looking at my team, I guess every week is a blank week in my social life then...

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Who are these "friends" you speak of?

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      My H2H rival doesn't have Toney. Captained Rashford

  9. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    Mings CS and Watkins Return would be very much appreciated here

  10. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    Why is Ream wearing headphones?

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

      2 mins before kick off?

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Helps him get more 180's.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Sure they're not ear defenders?

    4. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Can't spell Ream without ear.

      Or headphones with out hdhos.

  11. psl
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    Can't decide whether to free hit or wildcard. I was going to free hit and then take a hit or two to bench boost 29. All of a sudden feels like my team needs freshening up though! Any thoughts gratefully received.

      The agony of choice.

  12. HollywoodXI
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    Pulled the trigger last night for my GW28 WC (GW29 BB).

    Anything I can improve here?

    GW28 (11 starters):
    Ward (bha)
    Chilwell (EVE), Botman (nfo), Trippier (nfo),
    Zinchenko (CRY)
    Odegaard (CRY), Saka (CRY), Maddison (bha)
    Watkins (BOU), Toney (LEI), Kane (SOu)
    Bench: Steele, Shaw, Rashford, Mitoma

    GW29: Odegaard -> Mac Allister + BB (12 doublers + Saka, Kane, Zinchenko)

    GW30: Watkins -> Haaland

  13. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    Think I read somewhere that Estup will only play one game in the next DGW - any truth to this? Something about an international game.

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

        Thanks! Surely makes it back in time

      West Ham best so far

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years

      Nope

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

      Might be offside

    3. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Off keeper so maybe no Assist?

  21. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

  23. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
