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.

Crystal Palace XI: Henderson, Munoz, Lerma, Lacroix, Guehi, Mitchell, Kamada, Wharton, Sarr, Eze, Mateta.

      Cheers!

      Benched Mateta to play Rashford. Picked Rashford over Asensio because I thought he'll get more minutes in the PL around the CL games. Absolutely perfect so far.

  4. TheBiffas

  9. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Kepa is the worst FPL keeper of all time. Hands down. Ward/Iverson got nothing on him.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Lad I think you're literally the only person who owns kepa

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        Maybe he has Kerkez

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        It gets better. Transferred out Sels for him about 6 weeks ago.

        • 13 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        Yeah. Mitchell didn't look happy really, but think we need to rotate somewhat with lots of league/cup games incoming.
