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.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Clearly no pen

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

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

  12. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    VAR sleeping?

    Why are they affraid to call the ref to check it? Better look at it twice than making the wrong decision.

    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Trippier Mee Pinnock Gabriel
    (S)alah Saka Martinelli
    Watkins Toney

    I can get 9 out for gw32 with no hits, would you do this and save the FH for GW34 instead?

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

      Definitely, very little value to be gained Free hitting in 32.

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

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Wolves are terrible too. Can't even score a goal!

    2. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      can confirm

    3. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      They are affirmatively terrible. Absolutely embarrassing. Can’t score, can’t defend, can’t press, can’t transition. .

    4. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Clueless, and now they have a Clueless manager to lead them as well. There should be an intelligence test for these owners as well as a financial one.

  22. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Yet another Saturday of utter filth. 7 players played and the only one to return anything is Rashford whose points harm my rank as not captained. FPL is such an unenjoyable game the majority of the time.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Don't play it then Goober

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago
