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. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

  17. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

  20. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    What a player Mitoma is. Arguably the two best Asian players in the world on the pitch in this game.

    1. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Kim Min-jae?

  21. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Blimey west Ham goal

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Own goal. Nowt to write home about...

  22. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    From side on looks like arm but top down view replay def looks like chest.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      upper arms are allowed, remember last season?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        biceps?

  23. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Mitoma and Toney goals ruled out. Fun week this for me 😆

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Who would have got the assist for Mitoma? Don't tell me Mac.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yep, same, plus Shaw and Chilwell .... should be a good week.

  24. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Reed OG

  25. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    He was pushed by Romero there. No way should that have been disallowed. Ridiculous

  26. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Reed O.G

  27. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Transferred Bowen out of my Sky team. My teams from last week are flying today

  28. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    On the badge. I thought that this season that's not handball.

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yes the shirt sleeve is no longer handball. Terrible decision from VAR

  29. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    So was it handball or not?

    Very different opinons on this incident on here.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      it was handball and no goal

      ref not sent to the monitor

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      People are blind AND biased on here. Clear hand ball, not debatable.

  30. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    I remember Son. Used to be a good FPL player if I recall correctly...

    Price will be interesting next season.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      8m I’ll consider
