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.

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

    3. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

    4. Babit1967
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

  12. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gundo getting all city points, share some with Mahrez Gundo!

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

    Fair ducks to anyone who has had Gundogan these least two weeks!

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

      They’d be climbing up the ranks at a rapid rate if they did

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Someone creeping up behind me in work ML has had him and Mahrez!

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Omg he benched him for Grealish! Squeaky bum time

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

          The horror!

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

          Oh my! How close behind?

          1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            40pts after he had a bad day yesterday, was only 20pts at the start of the week

  14. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Now we just wait for inevitable busting of Edersen's sheet.

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

      And Akanji’s

      1. AIRMILES
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Oh look, a fellow Akanji owner.

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

          I brought him in for the token two pointers

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      My bet's on 81 minutes

  15. AIRMILES
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    This sort of a result could really deflate the Arsenal team before their match.

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I mean, the team losing this game is the same one who beat Arsenal's opponents today 5-1 last week.

      1. AIRMILES
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yep, but what you're implying is not how it works.

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

          It's like who can beat who up in the playground...

          As you say it doesn't always follow!

  16. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    GündoÄŸan we want mooooore!

  17. ☈☾

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Going to be Leeds v Everton again this relegation battle on last day

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

      Everton at home to Bournemouth.

      Leeds take on Spurs.

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

        Bad luck on Everton having the better opposition

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

          Forest have Arsenal at home and Palace away to play.

  18. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    West Ham could do something?

  19. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    what minute does Ederson lose his cleansheet?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      67

      1. The Train Driver
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Almost happened...

    2. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Next GW 62 mins

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

      81

  20. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Really a question mark about what my next move is here transfer wise.

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Literally I’m so confused

  21. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    God damn it Gundo.

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      🙂

  22. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Time for subs Pep!

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

      Akanji needs a rest on 60 he’s a big game on during the week

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    At least it looks like Ederson is finally keeping a CS

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Today is the day

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

      You sonuva...

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

      City only concede later in games.

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

      What’s stronger - Ederson’s allergy to clean sheets or Maupay’s allergy to goals?

    5. Stimps
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jinxed

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

      I think so too
      He keeps CS when most people have benched him & comes on for kepa starters

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

    Bring in Gündogan next GW and he’ll be benched.

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

      Yeah it’s already sailed unfortunately now

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Steele at least, with Kepa I was at risk of no keeper

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

      Sanhez not even on the bench... weird

  25. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I'll be super sad if Grealish is brought on this game. Got an 8 point Shaw on the bench.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt he comes on

    2. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Last time he was fully benched and Pep doesn’t do subs anymore (0 in Madrid game)

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

      Pep hates subs despite begging for 5 of them last season

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, he’s a weirdo

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

      Think he might get 15?

      Pep might not make a change but does he keep Erling out there? I doubt that.

  26. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    1pt from a Stones cameo would be good. Every point counts.

  27. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Need Stones to come on. Rival is getting Mee’s 11 pointer as it stands.

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      West Ham could get a goal too.

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

        Mystic Meg

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

        Timing

  28. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Mahrez, just 1 goal

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

    West Ham bust Raya and Co

    2-1
