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.

    Weird, I didn't think UTD got players sent off for putting their studs into opponents legs. Has VAR broken?

    Such a dirty player that Casemero. Him and Bruno are a disgrace to the prem

    Anyone besides me who is getting their new wildcard team absolutely slaughtered by last week non wc team?

    1. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      yes, sold Haaland, Martinelli on bench with White
      A tale of penalties for me, Kept Salah and sold Haaland, had I sold Salah (which was a toss up instead of Haaland), I would have had Mcallister instead but I went Buemo

    How many games does Casemiro miss?

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      4

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

      It's 3 for serious foul play. I'm not sure if you get an extra game ban if you get multiple reds.

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

        He does, 4 game ban.

  4. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Trossard owners in for huge points this match.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      All 4 of them

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    4 game ban for Casemiro...

    Hurts Shaw of course but Bruno probably stays deeper now too.

    DGW29 shopping list might change!

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

      why 4 instead of 3?

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

        Second violent conduct red of the season.

  6. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno cheating again

  7. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno diving

  8. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ramsdale almost gifting Fulham

  9. nerd_is_the_werd

    Minimal contact, not a massive amount of force, Alcaraz still walking..... red card.

    Meanwhile, Harry Kane, full-blooded lunge on Andy Robertson, 100% leg-breaker, lucky to escape.... no card, not even yellow.

    The level of refereeing in the Premier League is absolutely farcical.

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Wah

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Refs just hate us bro

  10. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Fulham without Palhinha looks so vulnerable

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

      They look woeful

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

      Probably get sold in the summer as well, lots of clubs looking at him.

  11. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I’m swear Leno has made at least two saves already.

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

    Bruno CDM now?

  13. threeputt
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    bench team doing well, Martinelli, Chilwell, White

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, martinelli and Gabriel here … lol …. I knew the risks and only have myself to blame.

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

      Yeah I got Martinelli, Chilwell, Zinchenko, Kepa 🙁

      Really think I should have bench boosted this week. It's rarely greener on the other side.

      1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yes agreed, sure it went through all our heads, bird in the hand and all that.

        1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Irritatingly, I considered playing martinelli over Saka as my mini league rivals all have martinelli and no Saka…. Went with the sword and ended up stabbing myself, when shield seems like it was the play …

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

    Just seen the Bps at Old Trafford

    Besides JWP everyone else on 3 currently

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

      or maybe I hadn't refreshed!

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

      Refresh

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

        yep

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

    Did his Baldness make any subs after the red?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Weghorst coming off for McTominay

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

        Who are going to score the goals now

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

        that might actually help them out

  16. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So close from Martinelli!

  17. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Martinelli close

  18. JBG
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Well this ref can do one... I would rather not write what I actually want him to do. But it rhymes with tuck himself.

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not even allowed to maim an opponent anymore. Game’s gone

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Talking about that pen... but you continue being a 5 year old troll.

        1. Herger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers mate, will do

  19. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ramsdale is a liability waiting to happen

  20. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno Fernandes is such an unlikeable player

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah he's such a weasel. Really don't like him. Every time something happens he runs directly at the ref as well. They really need to book him the moment he does that.

  21. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bought in Gabriel on WC. Need that 15 pointer. Keep a clean sheet

  22. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    My GW17 team is finally delivering. Ederson, Foden, Trossard.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      well done

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

    I’ll buy Martinelli back and suddenly and randomly he’ll be a rotation risk again

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

      It’ll be because Jesus is back and Trossard can play in his position

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

        I know this is what is stopping me pulling the trigger

  24. DLLM
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I think that’s a penalty

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Clear handball that stops Weghorst from shooting.

  25. AleksaMaster
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Omg, Antony Taylor and var hava absolutely shocking game here.

  26. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Martinelli you leg., never before has going with my own instincts over the community felt so good

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

    Zinchenko is so good, what a shrewd signing both real life and fpl

  28. boc610
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    worst half of the season from fulham and paulinha missing..hmmm
