Three more Premier League matches follow on from the early kick-off at Goodison Park.



There’s again no Justin Kluivert in the Bournemouth squad as the Cherries get set to face West Ham United.

Andoni Iraola said on Friday that it would be “difficult” for the Dutchman to recover in time for this match and he indeed misses out.

The Bournemouth boss’s only change sees Tyler Adams replace the injured Ryan Christie.

Dango Ouattara, Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson again form the Cherries’ attack.

As for the Hammers, Graham Potter makes four changes to his starting line-up.

Tomas Soucek, Edson Alvarez, Jean-Clair Todibo and the fit-again Mohammed Kudus are back in the side, with Konstantinos Mavropanos, Luis Guilherme and Evan Ferguson dropping to the bench.

Aaron Cresswell misses out entirely.

In the A23 non-derby, Oliver Glasner makes one change: Daichi Kamada in for Nathaniel Clyne. That will presumably see Jefferson Lerma move to centre-back.

All the key FPL assets from Crystal Palace, namely Daniel Munoz, Ismaila Sarr, Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta, start.

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler makes four changes to the team that lost to Aston Villa, one of which sees Joao Pedro drop to the bench.

Simon Adingra, Brajan Gruda and Yasin Ayari also make way as Carlos Baleba, Matt O’Riley, Yankuba Minteh and Danny Welbeck return to the side.

The team news is nice and simple at Portman Road: both Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers are unchanged.

Leif Davis returns from injury for the hosts but is only among the substitutes. Omari Hutchinson’s hamstring strain keeps him out.

    Who to get from Vila?
    Is Asensio a no-go zone? Or maybe Rashford?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

    First time playing AM... Is 10 points from Potter considered good?

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

      Yes

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

      Maybe if he had good fixture next but hes now a transfer wasted to get him out

    3. HD7
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

      Yes... but you will see him so it is like 6 pts

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 5 days ago

        1. pakornk
          • 9 Years
          8 months, 5 days ago

          What do you mean? It's a - 4 to take out a manager?

          1. _Ninja_
            • 15 Years
            8 months, 5 days ago

            yes

            1. pakornk
              • 9 Years
              8 months, 5 days ago

              Isn't it a free transfer? Why-4?

              1. _Ninja_
                • 15 Years
                8 months, 5 days ago

                This is why i went Howe as even a 1-0 win gets him 10 pts but he then has 2 home games next gw.

                fpl just decided to make manager transfers cost a transfer, only the initial transfer in is free.

            2. CoracAld2831
              • 4 Years
              8 months, 5 days ago

              No, if you have a spare FT to use, otherwise yes.

          2. DARE TO BISCAN
            • 7 Years
            8 months, 5 days ago

            Nah. It takes a free transfer. They're saying a FT is worth 4 points. It will only cost you -4 if you take a hit to transfer him out to a different manager, though.

  4. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years

  5. FPL Sanky
