Six more Premier League matches get underway at 3pm BST today, following on from Manchester United’s win over Everton.

The benching of Ben Chilwell is the headline team news from Wolves v Chelsea, while Alexander Isak returns to lead the line for Newcastle United at Brentford.

Chilwell and the rested N’Golo Kante are replaced by Raheem Sterling and Conor Gallagher in Frank Lampard’s first game back as Blues boss.

Wolves bring in Diego Costa, Daniel Podence and Joao Gomes for the suspended Ruben Neves and the benched Adama Traore and Joao Moutinho.

Isak replaces Callum Wilson for Newcastle, while Joe Willock comes in for the injured Allan Saint-Maximin.

Thomas Frank makes three changes, recalling Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva and Kevin Schade for Mads Roerslev, Mikkel Damsgaard and Bryan Mbeumo.

Evan Ferguson and Adam Webster make way for Danny Welbeck and Levi Colwill as Brighton & Hove Albion take on unchanged Tottenham Hotspur.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery also resists the urge to tinker but opponents Nottingham Forest demote Emmanuel Dennis, Orel Mangala and Remo Freuler and recall Jonjo Shelvey, Joe Worral and Cheikhou Kouyate.

Ricardo Pereira, Daniel Amartey and Boubakary Soumare come in for Nampalys Mendy, Harry Souttar and the suspended Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as Leicester make three changes for their clash with Bournemouth.

The Cherries bring in Chris Mepham and Joe Rothwell for the injured Marcos Senesi and the benched Hamed Traore.

The most alterations come at Craven Cottage.

Willian, Cedric Soares and Tosin Adarabioyo come in for Kenny Tete, Issa Diop and Manor Solomon for the hosts.

As for the Hammers, Angelo Ogbonna, Vladimir Coufal, Aaron Cresswell, Pablo Fornals and Danny Ings replace Thilo Kehrer, Nayef Aguerd, Emerson Palmieri, Said Benrahma and the absent Lucas Paqueta.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Probably has a threadbare GW32 team as it stands, so FH32 needs to be played.

        1. Shultan
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          This I'm snookered into FH32 as have 7 blankers

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Whew. I mean if he was able after 8 mins it bodes well for the rest of the match.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Nah, he'll lose his head now. Can't beat the template anyway.

    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Toney goal lol. It was his former club. Seemed inevitable after we all sold.

    I'm glad though as a single Newcastle defense owner.

    1. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sold Mbuemo instead...

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      My stream is slow apparently. But I think he'll probably score at some point in this one.
