Five more Premier League matches follow on from an end-to-end, four-goal thriller at Elland Road.

Manchester United can move back level on points with Newcastle United with a win over Wolverhampton Wanderers today but they’ll have to do it without Marcus Rashford, whose leg injury prevents him from involvement in Erik ten Hag’s squad today.

Anthony Martial, Jadon Sancho and a fit-again Raphael Varane return to the line-up, with Wout Weghorst and Tyrell Malacia dropping to the bench and Rashford missing out altogether.

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui keeps the same 10 outfield players but makes a change between the posts, with Daniel Bentley starting ahead of Jose Sa.

And there’s a change in goal made by Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, too, as Edouard Mendy replaces Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Raheem Sterling, Mateo Kovacic, Joao Felix and Lewis Hall also come into the side as Mykhailo Mudryk and Kai Havertz drop to the bench.

N’Golo Kante and Ben Chilwell are out injured.

Joe Worrall comes in for the benched Brennan Johnson in the only switch made by Forest boss Steve Cooper, who reverts to a more defensive 3-4-2-1 set-up.

The one solitary change across the two teams at Villa Park, where Aston Villa host Tottenham Hotspur, sees Leon Bailey come in for Bertrand Traore.

And Roy Hodgson’s only alteration at Selhurst Park sees Will Hughes deputise for an injured Jeffrey Schlupp.

Chris Mepham and Ilya Zabarnyi oust Marco Senesi and Adam Smith from the Bournemouth backline, meanwhile.

Southampton manager Ruben Selles makes two enforced changes for a must-win game, with the absent Armel Bella-Kotchap and Che Adams replaced by Lyanco and Paul Onuachu.

Fulham are unchanged, so Aleksandar Mitrovic has to settle for a place among the substitutes on his return from an eight-game ban.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        She knows.

  12. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

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

      From Daniel Bentley

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Can’t get over how bad he is

  13. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Watkins assist?

    1. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, he was brought down for the Luiz FK.

  14. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ah Watkins assist, I'll take it. Doesn't make it seem quite as bad that I fell asleep and missed the deadline this morning, and not doing Watkins to Isak as a result!

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

      Andy had that effect?

      I switched it on twice for 45 seconds at ten minutes to and just before 11 am and it seemed that he'd fallen asleep himself whilst waiting for news that never came.

  15. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Eze will rightly get the plaudits today but my word Olise been sensational all match, that assist for Eze's second was sublime.

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I've been saying it for some time - Olise is a Man City material

  22. DMP
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago
