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.

  15. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years

    Nice one Ode

  16. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    My rival is getting bailed out again for having Odegaard and Martinelli instead of Saka. Hate this game.

    1. Why Always Me
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Not really bailed out. Good decision from him

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        It's really not though because he changed Saka to Martinelli when Saka was scoring goals and then kept Martinelli after he blanked 6 games in a row. Brought Odegaard in and then he blanked for 3 games. He would have got Saka if he didn't have other priorities. It's just all luck.

        1. Why Always Me
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          If its all luck then we all get bailed out

  17. fantasist

    What a great signing Trossard is

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      And only 1/4 of the price of flop of the decade MUDryk

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      I always rated hm but it was just a question of whether he was going to play regularly. Now we know.

  18. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    So who benched Gabriel, Martinelli and Odegaard for crappy Brentford and Brighton players? lol

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Better—sold Odegaard and white and benched Marti for Darwin

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Present

  19. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Called it as soon as tros was going to be bot by arse.
    For arsenal tonplay tross upfront, w/ saka and martinelli on the wings. Amd eddie on bench fir 2nd half.

    Thats how they playin superb today

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      So what you are saying is Nketiah should embrace a role as an impact sub?

      Not disagreeing with that. Think football is behind the times with not having specialist impact players who only come off the bench.

      1. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Yep

  20. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Odegard to Mitoma going well, atleast Mitoma has another game to make it worth it

  21. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Completed the full set. Chillwell, Gabriel and Odegaard. All on the bench. Expected some bench points this week but not 3 goals including two from defenders!!

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Yikes. That's unlucky.

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

      Bench boost would've been gd

      1. BeWater
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        I did think about it briefly but Ode possibly being out put me off.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Wow.

  22. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Three assists for Trossard.

  23. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Trossard assisting like theres no tomorrow. Trying to show theres no need to rush Jesus back.

  24. Flying Dutchman
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Wasn’t a red, handball penalty not given.
    Ode on the bench.

    Good Sunday so far

  25. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Saka not worth the money now. Martinelli and Odegaard better value. Toss in Rashford and you got to have Haaland and Kane. That is 5 of your attackers sorted.

    1. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      First it was Odegaard. Then Martinelli. Now Saka

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Kneejerk AF. Saka is cruising today but he is well worth 8.5m or whatever he costs

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Swings and roundabouts more like.

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Well played, bench boosters!

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      TY

  27. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Ooft, us wildcarders are getting punished … we knew the risk of benching these guys so we just have to take our medicine

  28. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Pereira to March for a hit and benching Ode.
    At least I played Gabriel.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago
