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.

      3. Mr. O'Connell

        2 years, 9 months ago

  8. TorresMagic™

    A few autosubs in the mud.

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Shouldn't get a free pass for starting a player who was expected to be benched.

  9. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    That’s more like it Pep

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

    78 min is more than I expected for Haaland

  11. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Grealish on yay, blocks a few points.

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

    My rival getting Mee of the bench because both Rash and Toney didn't play is absolute first class jam.

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

    Suppose 11 mins of Grealish is better than 180 mins of Dunk...

  14. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Screw you Pep.

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I might lose a cup tie because of this because I'm playing an inactive account who happens to have Eze on his team.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Losing to an inactive team. I am sorry but you just have to be better

        1. SpaceCoyote97
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          It's bad luck and Pep roulette.

          I'm not guaranteed a loss though, it's just I miss out on 8 important Shaw points.

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Ah yeah . UTD bench points are killing me

            1. SpaceCoyote97
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              Still got 11 players to his 6 left to play though, and would only be 13 points behind. Basically have to hope his Arsenal let him down, and Newcastle and Brighton go nuts scoring goals in their game.

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

    Grealish brace time

  16. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Oh no not Grealish on, hope he doesn't score any points..

  17. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Pep instructing Grealish to dive and win a penalty.

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

      Mahrez on pens?

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

    Haaland will probably lose his bonus points now.

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

      No, Didn't you know - it's in the rules.....no mater what he does...he gets BPS

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Same as Kane

  19. Always a Red Devil
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    when bruno asked to come off when we were losing 7-0 to liverpool everyone was going nuts now haaland does it and its fine???

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Bruno embarrassed himself

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        City aren’t losing 7-0 to their biggests rivals either ffs

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

      Haaland isn't on the losing team?

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

      They are top of the league so he needs a rest, Manchester United aren’t.

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

      Try and keep it more subtle. This kind of post makes it way more obvious that you're trying to do a troll parody of a Man United fan. Thanks.

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

        Ah wait, I see you caught a few quite easily. As you were.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Giving him too much credit I think

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

            Nope, it's actually really obvious. I actually suspect he's a certain someone's alt account.

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              Lad who kept saying United are signing Mbappe?

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

                Nope, the other one that constantly tries to troll Man United but from the opposite angle.

                1. x.jim.x
                  • 11 Years
                  2 years, 9 months ago

                  Have to wonder how empty some people’s lives really are

    5. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Except it was confirmed Bruno did no such thing.

  20. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Any danger of Stones coming on?

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

      Not much but you’re never safe with Pep

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

      No i don't think so
      My rivals will be be getting shaw & mee points off their benches

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

    Raya on for a bap

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

    All that's left is for Everton to wipe the CS now...

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

      It is inevitable...

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

      Hit the jackpot if it happens

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

      Need this & stones to come on for a 1 pointer but neither happening!

  23. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Still time for a Grealish hat trick

  24. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Think I might get Gundo in for Rashford.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Then Rash will play and Gundo be benched

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        He's in pretty good form though isn't he?

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          He certainly is! But boat has sailed now unfortunately

  25. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Ederson owners check in

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

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

    1. Paqueta Rice

  28. JELLYFISH
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Come on West Ham, I dislike you intently but I really need the Brentford CA written off

  29. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
