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.

      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years

    2. Fred54

      I swear the BHA bench gets more Football Manager 2045 regenerated name vibes every week...

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Lol

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Brighton more or less as expected. Mac Allister advanced, with Caicedo & Gilmour deeper. Although am sure Arsneal will try to pin then back a bit.

      Can't believe Slippin' Jimmy McGill is on the bench.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Better call Saul was a great series

  14. Fintroy
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    For Christ's sake.....hurry and take off the Robot will you!!!!!

    1. Fintroy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Up

  15. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Pep is going for some achievement with least subs used?

    1. Fintroy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Strange how utterly he is obsessed with rotation because of player tiredness.....has 5 subs and doesn't use them!

  16. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Alright, let's cue the moment....
    84th minute.... Manchester City penalty...

  17. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Gundo bak to bak 16,13 ptrs...anyone got him past 2gwks?most went j alvarez

  18. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Raya gets his CS back just as Ederson is about to lose his.

    Can't take your eyes off it - the battle of the best and worst FPL keepers. Truly epic.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Don't think either are conceding tbh

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Did Ings have goal ruled out?

      1. Dunk and Disorderly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yep

  19. LarryDuff
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Pep has forgotten what subs are

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Weird since he moaned a lot when only allowed 3 subs

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      None in Madrid.

      He wanted 5 subs but then doesn't make any.

      1. Fintroy
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        A very strange individual......

  20. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I believe we are due to the highest scoring PL game of the season
    Arsenal 4 - 4 Brighton

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Sounds great!

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Shades of last Monday!

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Own no players. Hoping for 1-1. MacAllister hits 3 pens over the bar. Estupinan tries to console him before a Bowyer/Dyer-esque brawl breaks out. Both players are dismissed.

      Dunk and Odegaard own goals.

    4. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      God i hope you're right. I have Martinelli, Saka, Mitoma, Mac and Dunk in this game

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Arsenal not to score please

  21. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Mac10 back in position?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Seems like it

  22. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Looks like Gross RB, Mac10 and Ensico RW

  23. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    4-3 to Arsenal. Their defence looks dodge.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Whose? Both?

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Arsenal's

  24. ggfussball
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Does Gross usually play RB?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Has been quite often, especially with Veltman out.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He has been.

      Still on some set peices I think.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Only when Veltman and Lamptey are injured

    4. ggfussball
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I see, thanks!

  25. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Fergusen in on my WC very tempting

  26. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    How is that not a pen? Pickford hit Haaland in the head...

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Could easily have been

  27. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Stonewall peno that was

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Nope

  28. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    These two clean sheets are my end.

  29. Skout
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Hoping for big things from advanced Mac10!!

  30. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Is that a Grealish sighting...
