There are three Premier League games on Sunday with a double-header up first at 14:00 BST.

Brentford host West Ham United, while Everton meet Manchester City at Goodison Park.

Pep Guardiola makes four changes from the 1-1 draw in Madrid, as Aymeric Laporte, Julian Alvarez, Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden come in for John Stones, Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish, all of whom are substitutes.

That means Erling Haaland leads the line, his sixth successive Premier League start.

Everton make just one alteration from their 5-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion, as Mason Holgate comes in at left-back in place of Vitalii Mykolenko.

At the Gtech Community Stadium, Ivan Toney misses out due to a minor hamstring injury. Zanka and Frank Onyeka also drop out, with Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade and Yoane Wissa coming in.

As for West Ham, who will be guaranteed Premier League survival if they win, they make a whopping seven changes, with Thursday’s huge Europa Conference League semi-final second leg against AZ Alkmaar in mind.

Only Lukasz Fabianksi, Nayef Aguerd, Angelo Ogbonna and Tomas Soucek keep their place from last Sunday’s 1-0 win over Manchester United. Declan Rice, Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma are among those benched, while Michail Antonio misses out entirely with a calf injury.

    1. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If he could physically explode before 30 mins to Stones can come on, that would be great.

      One which plays which may or may not be the ones you suggested

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

        Rodri then.

        Or Gundogan.

        1. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I reckon Gundogan may be going on a run

  4. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Toney injured! I did not see that coming.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Wouldn't have bet against it....

    3. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The one that does it to me is Reece James

  7. Conners
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hopefully we'll get some more info on Rashford soon.

    I've only 0.2m spare for a Rash to Bruno transfer and it looks like each will lose/gain 0.1m tonight...

  8. Always a Red Devil
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

  9. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

  10. g40steve

    1. Always a Red Devil
      • 3 Years

  11. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  12. Salalalalah

    Everton starting strong

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

    Really need Haaland to be quiet... this game. People are so boring.

  14. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Game needs Grealish trickery

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It does. For the last five minutes to run down the clock

  15. jack88
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Whats your rank so far?

    I am 200k ish. Did few mistakes in the middle of thr season and Couldn't come back.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not horrendous tbf, just outside top 10% I think

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      56k.

      Definitely missed some opportunities to be much higher (e.g. Even Wilson this week would put me at 35k!)

    3. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same as you... crawled back from 1.3m since after WC break.

    4. GlamRock Chauffeurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Currently at 35k so pretty happy with that considering I was 5.5m after GW 3.

    5. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Awful, like 500k, been so hard to make headway this season, anything you try backfires.

    6. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I was inside 10k at the end of last week. After about 6 weeks hovering just outside. Need some things to go my way as Kane and Wilson dropping me back out again.

      Not bad considering I was 1.7m in GW14

      1. GlamRock Chauffeurs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Very impressive, that’s a strong climb and breaking the 10k

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks. Mostly down to getting some non-Haaland captain calls right after the World Cup. Plus the usual slice of FPL luck

          1. GlamRock Chauffeurs
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yes those Haaland calls were key, was tricky navigating the differentials this year

    7. Conners
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      110k

    8. thegame983
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Best season ever. Basically because I backed Rodrigo GW1 and then hit my 2nd wildcard early in GW20.

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

        Don't leave us on tenterhooks!

        1. thegame983
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          225 at the start of this GW.

  16. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Desperately need a Haaland goal to save my gameweek

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't Kane save it yesterday?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No - 1 goal between the Father & his Son doesn’t suffice

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He’s 119% owned so he’s not going to do you any favours if he does score unless you capped him

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Probably 50% owned at my rank

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Are you still rockin' 67 FPL teams ?

      Every time a player scores it must be a mix of excitement and mental agony

  17. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How many dead teams Haaland most capped

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not a bad shout tbf, not too many strong options this week

  18. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Come on you toffees.

    Do it for the good of the game.

    1. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah want Everton to win so city play their strongest teams in GW37

  19. Effe
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I need Grealish to not appear so I get Shaw off the bench. Likely?

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Na he’ll come on for a cameo around the 90 mark I reckon

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

      At this rate they'll all be on in the second half...

  20. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Wilson owners playing v Leicester or selling for a dgw player? Cheers

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It’s Leicester, defo keeping

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Think I’d keep him and play him tbh. I’ll definitely keep. See how Leicester are against pool on Monday first

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I never seem to get this when we say “we’ll see how the play against” such and such, when each game is different. They could play a blinder against pool but then suck big time against Leicester?

        1. Haalander
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yea you’re right. Each game is different. What I meant was be interesting to see will Leicester still leak a load of goals vs Liverpool which I’d be surprised if they don’t. Which would then lead everyone onto “keep a Newcastle forward” frame of mind

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah I get what ya mean, that’s right.
            Either way I’ll definitely be keeping and playing Wilson 🙂

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping

    4. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      may switch to alvarez

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all

    6. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping. Toon are in the goals and the Foxes defence is poor.

  21. boc610
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    DCL looking really sharp. some brilliant hold up play so far.

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mina is a disgrace

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      This

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No sh*t haha.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      But he’s good for this Everton side

      Exactly the type of player they need in a fight like this

      1. Always a Red Devil
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        why do everton need a rubbish player

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          He’s pretty decent better than Keane

          I mean he has a bit of horrible about him. Can’t be a nice guy in a dog fight

    4. boc610
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      the current england captain wouldn't resort to such antics...oh wait

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I’ve always said Kane is devious. Him and son play the nice guys but Kane constantly does the move where he goes under the player and pretends he’s standing still letting the player potentially fall on their necks.

        Son is another one. Has the nice guy act by smiling but is dirty as hell

  23. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years

    Foden spotted!
