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.

      3 years, 9 days ago

  2. La Roja
    • 14 Years

    Brighton should be ahead at least 1-4 in this game…

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      Could love to regret this, similar happened against Spurs!

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 days ago

      70% possession and 20 attempts vs Chelsea at the bridge. Incredible and goes to show how crap Chelsea are too

      I reckon their fans have had the best season of any fans in the premier league. Performing way above expectations, play nice football, loads of away trips at the big London clubs.
      And they live in Brighton.
      Yep, they are winning.
