Four more Double Gameweek 34 matches get underway at 2pm BST on Sunday, including Fulham v Manchester City.

The visitors are without Kevin De Bruyne, who is “not fully fit” according to reporter Mike Minay. Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez come into the starting XI, with Bernardo Silva dropping to the bench.

Fulham also make two changes as Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Carlos Vinicius replace Manor Solomon and Daniel James.

Elsewhere, the headline team news from St James’ Park is that Alexander Isak starts for Newcastle United. He comes in for Callum Wilson, with Dan Burn, Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon the other returnees.

James Ward-Prowse is fit enough to start for their opponents, Southampton. The alterations – and there are five in total – see Armel Bella-Kotchap, Lyanco, Stuart Armstrong, Moussa Djenepo and Kamaldeen Sulemana feature.

At Old Trafford, Tyrell Malacia and Marcel Sabitzer replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Antony, both of whom drop to the bench, while Aston Villa are unchanged for the fourth successive game.

On the south coast, Gary O’Neil makes two changes to his Bournemouth XI. The injured Marcus Tavernier and Chris Mepham drop out as Adam Smith and Dango Ouattara come in.

Leeds United, meanwhile, bring in Rasmus Kristensen, Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto for Junior Firpo, Rodrigo and the injured Luis Sinisterra, in what looks like a 3-4-3 formation.

        And plenty of others

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nah, he was always a rotation risk. Especially after his costly mistake against Spurs.

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

        I benched him

  2. WVA
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Noooooo anyone but Solanke

  3. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    BB with Andreas and Zouma. Both injured before 60min in their first game. Unlucky. (quick recovery for both though!)

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Andreas looks serious

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Tell time to smile

      2. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        True, stretcher never good

      3. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        One of the best first-bench'ers I ever had

  4. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Isak and Solanke coming in with the points

  5. g40steve
    • 7 Years

    Solanke G

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Another?

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        First

  6. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Where's all out attack when you need it? Solanke on my bench over Trippier

  7. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Grealish off soon?

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'll probably be dumping him from my team too unfortunately. Any good suggestions for replacements, have Salah, Rashford, March and Mitoma also.

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Who are you asking pal? Pep's at the game

  8. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Dalot bossing the baps

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Haaland has been awful

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He equalled the record today, he'll smash it in another game probably.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Glad I capped Salah now! Was dreading it few minutes in

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        We know what Halaand can do with 20 mins to actually go

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I know but not feeling it

  10. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Need Shaw goal or assist

    1. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      assist on a bruno goal would be awesome

    2. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      incoming

  11. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ederson you clown

  12. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Does that count as a save for Ederson?

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Should do big hand

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Tbf doesn't matter as he'd never get the other 2 he'd need to actually get a point for it

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

    All Newcastle United now except on the break.

    Good game at St James's Park.

    Winner incoming??

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

      Trippier pinging corner after corner in

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        For team with as many big tall lumps of them, they are quite poor at set pieces.

  14. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Fulham squad getting depleted here. At this rate they could end the season below Chelsea.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      They getting injuries?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        2 broken this game inc Andreas

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Ooo good for Liverpool game then!

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

      Steady on...

      Chelsea will need to win at least 2 games for that.

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      There there. I mean they’re bad but let’s get realistic

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        note the invisible tongue-in-cheek emoji.

  15. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Pope, the king of making two saves a game and conceding one goal.

  16. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    FT: Celtic 1-0 Rangers

    Treble is on!

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      They'll never get past my Caley!!!

  17. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Do something Tripp!

    1. Sure You Did
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He hasn't done anything for ages, why do you still have him?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Don't know tbh

  18. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Given that he's already conceded, I wouldn't mind Ederson having to face a penalty now.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          After assuming Mitoma would start yesterday I take nothing for granted!

    2. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No info on the injury so I don't think anyone can answer that

      1. Zebras
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Oh didn’t realize it was injury. Figured it was just resting him

    Fulham denied pen

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Come on, give us poor Ederson owners at least that 😆

  25. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    If Sancho beats the offside trap he always waits for the players to get back in front of him.

  26. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Jota on bench good for Fulham start

  27. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    And there’s the absolute nail in the coffin to this pointless game

    Jota benched

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Was expected

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Good news that he is fit enough for the bench so should start the next one

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I guess

      2. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Wasn’t entirely

  28. Sim Simma

    • 15 Years
