Five more Premier League matches get underway at 3pm BST today, following on from Aston Villa and Newcastle United at lunchtime.

The most interesting team news comes from Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea make six changes from last weekend – yet Kepa Arrizabalaga (£4.7m) keeps his place in goal. Instead, it’s the opposing team that has changed stopper, as Brighton and Hove Albion have replaced the slightly hurt Jason Steele (£3.9m) with Robert Sanchez (£4.5m).

Although Ben Chilwell (£6.0m) starts for Chelsea, Joao Felix (£7.5m) is benched and Kai Havertz (£7.5m) won’t be taking part at all.

The Seagulls’ midfield trio Kaoru Mitoma (£5.7m), Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m) and Solly March (£5.2m) all start, as does Pervis Estupinan (£4.8m).

For Everton, Neal Maupay (£5.7m) comes in for Ellis Simms (£4.5m) and Vitalii Mykolenko (£4.1m) replaces the hurt Seamus Coleman (£4.3m). Opponents Fulham start Andreas Pereira (£4.3m).

Southampton’s sole change brings Joe Aribo (£5.0m) in for Mohamed Elyounoussi (£5.1m) whilst visitors Crystal Palace haven’t tweaked the XI that destroyed Leeds United 5-1 last Sunday. That means Michael Olise (£5.5m) and Eberechi Eze (£5.4m) begin proceedings.

Harry Kane (£11.7m) and Son Heung-min (£11.6m) start for unchanged Spurs, as does attacking wing-back Pedro Porro (£4.8m). They’re against Bournemouth and forward Dominic Solanke (£5.5m).

Finally, the usual names like Ivan Toney (£7.8m), David Raya (£4.9m), Rico Henry (£4.6m) and Ben Mee (£5.1m) start for Brentford at Wolves. Their hosts make Pedro Sarbia (£5.2m) the only change from the side which beat Chelsea 1-0.

    Danjuma

  5. Tic Tacs

    If Ake can stay on the bench today and Shaw miss tomorrow's game, that would be ideal... Moreno 2nd on bench fail.

  6. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years

    Spurs goal

  7. tiger

    Kane penalty to win it now please

  9. SirWenger
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Kane got touch?

    1. gart888
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Swears on his daughter.

  10. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    That Toney off the woodwork shot hurt so much. Come on Kane

  11. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Of course I get no reward for being ballsy enough to play both Mac10 and Mitoma.

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      then saving their goals for 34

  12. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    If Spurs stay as they are, by my reckoning Arsenal would guarantee Champions League with a win tomorrow (and guarantee beating Spurs with a draw)

  13. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Kane offside?

  14. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Did henry>ake instead of saka > grealish so of course ake benched.

    Fully expecting grealish haul

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Not Kane G
    Not Kane A

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

      Thanks

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Semi assist Kane

  16. gart888
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    How did Kepa have 9 saves if Brighton had 10 shots on target and two goals?

  17. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Protesting to glue themselves in at Aintree and handcuff themselves in.

    They've just removed the fence sections.

    Race on hold probably benefits the bookies.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Lol, loved the commentators on TV calling them attention seekers. That's usually the point of a protest.

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        The commentators are hilarious!

  18. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Ake. When will I learn?

    1. Tic Tacs
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Same, the risk was always there I guess.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Yep. Oh well, it was for Chilwell, so I’d only need a sub appearance to break even… still hurts!

  19. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Oh come on, it was right in the corner, he wouldn’t have saved it anyway

  20. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Kane playing DM..

  21. squ1rrel
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Ahhh Moreno on the bench, what are the odds Shaw starts

    1. Vote Joke
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Low

    2. Tic Tacs
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      I'm hoping for the same, and that Ake doesn't come on. Completely overlooked Moreno for some reason.

    3. ☈☾
      • 8 Years

      Not pictured in training

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  22. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Goalkeeper doesn't save that in any circumstances

  23. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years

    2. sminkypinky

    3. gart888
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

    4. cruzex
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Wow. Show me your team

      1. gart888
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Probably has Mings, Watkins, Solanke, Eze and then pretty standard guys.

  26. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Kulusevski has been poor this season, less goals than Gabriel (CB)

  27. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Good on the protesters at the National today. Nice work.

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Serves no useful purpose whatsoever , just upsets the horses so is counter productive
