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.

    Oh dear. Fulham not even trying.

    10 goals conceded for Fulham in 2.5 games without Palhinha so far!

    1. Twisted Saltergater

      This. They’re missing him so much.

  3. ran

    Trossard with 3 assists in the first half.. Amazing!

    1. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      So who from
      Arsenal is essential?

    Must learn to resist the DGW urge a little better. Bet I’m not the only one to have benched good points this week

    1. boc610
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      maybe wait until after wed games to arrive at this conclusion

    2. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Say this to myself every year. Why can't we resist this?!! Stuffing my team with players like Tarkowski, Henry and March that I wouldn't consider if they had SGW.

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ode & Gabriel…

    4. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      But they have TWO doubles in three gameweeks.

      Most of us have not stuffed our teams full of Palace or saints players

  5. Crazy RedDevil
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    My current team:
    Kepa
    Mings Shaw* Mee Trent*
    Salah* Saka Ode
    Toney Watkins Haaland*

    Ramsdale Estu Mitoma March.

    I'm planning for BB in GW 29...Should I use free hit in GW 28 or should I take -8 or -12 to play 9 /10 players? Please suggest.

  6. Hotdogs for Tea

    Any one else on here held on to Gabriel, Martinelli & Odegaard in the face of double game week madness and the rush to get Brighton & Brentford players ? 🙂

    1. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DGWs have a lot to answer for.

    2. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Actually brought in Zinc and martinelli on my wc last wk. Sold ramsdale. So yeah playing them all

  7. threeputt
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I think one of these days Casemiro will be a bargain, the guy is obviously going through a bad run atm, actually feel a little sorry for him

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

      Yes £60M bargain...

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

        fpl bargain......

      I remember a commentator years ago saying that you had to feel sorry for Jamie Redknapp because of an injury. Sod that, he was playing in the Prem, had good lucks, modelling contract and got to wake up to Louise from Eternal every morning. I don't feel sorry for footballers unless it's a career threatening injury.

  8. Digital-Real

    Big evening for FPL on Wednesday.
    Not promising for Brighton and Brentford assets; Palace haven't conceded many goals in the last 8 games and Southampton appear to have improved.

  9. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hmm, feels like I'm the only one to play my 3 Arsenal players going by comments on here. My sob story is having Salah yesterday and Watkins first on my bench.

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Almost played 3 but benched White for Mee for dgw

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Could still work out. I didn't fancy Brentford defence and lucky so far with Gabriel here.

  10. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Saka➡️Odegaard to raise the funds for Chilwel??or just go Fofana?

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

      Lol good luck getting CS out of Chelsea. Attacking returns only.

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        That's wat I want Chilwell for ,his attacking returns ..

    2. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

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

  13. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

    This is the most depressed I have been as a result of a gameweek in sometime. May need to reconsider this game and my outlook

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It took you 12 years to feel this way. Took me only months

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I suppose I can’t moan too much, been soaring the last 5 GW’s, 70 last GW, but has all been deflated so far this GW

  21. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Odegaard and Tarkowski stuck on my bench and looking at Salah with his 0

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

  27. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Havertz or Watkins?

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Watkins

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No UCL concerns & Forest tilt me towards Watkins.

    3. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Watkins less likely to troll

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

        You must have never owned Watkins in previous seasons! 😉

  28. La Roja
    • 14 Years

    Theo has tired legs

  29. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Just great. Odegaard out for Mac A and benched Tark, White and Watkins. Pure FPL magic

    Oh and no Kane to boot.

    1. Wenger's Warriors
      • 3 Years
