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.

LINE-UPS

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

Subs: Turner, Ward, Nketiah, Franca, Clyne, Hughes, Esse, Chilwell, Devenny.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Verbruggen, Hinshelwood, Dunk, Van Hecke, Estupinan, Baleba, Gomez, O’Riley, Mitoma, Minteh, Welbeck.

Subs: Rushworth, Gruda, March, Pedro, Adingra, Cashin, Ayari, Wieffer, Tasker.


Ipswich Town XI: Palmer, Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Burgess, Townsend, Morsy, Cajuste, Johnson, Broadhead, Enciso, Delap.

Subs: Woolfenden, Davis, Phillips, Taylor, Philogene, J Clarke, Chaplin, Hirst, Walton.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa, Doherty, Agbadou, T Gomes, Semedo, Andre, J Gomes, Ait-Nouri, Munetsi, Bellegarde, Strand Larsen.

Subs: Bueno, Djiga, R Gomes, Hee-Chan, Doyle, Guedes, Sarabia, Forbs, Johnstone.


West Ham United XI: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Todibo, Scarles, Alvarez, Soucek, Paqueta, Ward-Prowse, Bowen, Kudus.

Subs: Fabianski, Soler, Coufal, Fullkrug, Mavropanos, Guilherme, Rodriguez, Emerson, Ferguson.

Bournemouth XI: Kepa, Smith, Huijsen, Zabarnyi, Kerkez, Cook, Adams, Scott, Ouattara, Semenyo, Evanilson.

Subs: Dennis, Senesi, Brooks, Soler, Jebbison, Araujo, Hill, Silcott-Duberry, Winterburn.

    Getting sent off for a dive & handball is some embarrassing stuff.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Perfect for Mateta though??

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 1 day ago

        Oh yes. Just don't run yourself into the ground, son.

    2. DeSelby
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      The 2nd yellow wasn't for a handball. It was for dangerous play. Almost kicked Van Hecke's face off.

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 1 day ago

        Oh. Misread the BBC live text. Oops

  7. HelmutCool

    So happy with my double Arsenal cs and Saka haul in WC....

  17. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Seems like wc32 will be the correct choice...

  18. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years

    Sarr is such a troll.

  19. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Go on, Hendo!

  20. BazingtoN
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Very happy with my Evanilson haul the last two gameweeks !!

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Ditto!

    2. HD7
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Me too. Plan was to sell him to Mateta for next week. Have Isak Marmoush. Are you keeping him now?

  21. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Munoz game winning goal and a defender. Still no baps :/

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      It’s so stupid the system

    2. Kvarken SS
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Shocking

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      I don't know how it works. Assume he gets points knocked off, for conceding?

    4. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Mateta 2 bonus, besides the goal he was awful

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 1 day ago

        >:(

  22. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Done the double over the Seaweed, get in 😀

  23. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    So basically Potter was a bit of a fail. 10 points but more like 6 because he's a guaranteed transfer out

  24. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Semenyo might have nicked a bonus

    looks like Mateta 2 for the time being over Eze. could change i guess

  25. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Sarr is the new Nunez and Jackson. Literally only returns when he's not on your team.

    1. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Yep.

  26. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Sarr bench 2-pointer eases my Saka sting 🙂

    (just need Foden to close his fish-mouf and do something)

    1. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Yes.

      1. CoracAld2831
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 1 day ago

        *Reply fail to the poster above.

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 1 day ago

          Yes.

  27. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    In reference to my post earlier, I’m so happy - don’t care what happens during the remaining part of this GW

    “Just need I. Sarr to stay quiet in the second half.

    # should not have started Saka ahead of I. Sarr!”

  28. HD7
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Happy with the Evanilson haul. Plan was to sell him to Mateta for next week. Have Isak Marmoush. Should I be keeping him for now? I mean Palace in 32 dont have the easiest fixtures.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Think I have to keep him. Great form. The guy is way to good to be playing for Bournemouth.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 1 day ago

        He would start up front for Arsenal, Pool and Chelsea

      2. HD7
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 1 day ago

        You have Marmoush and Isak too?

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 1 day ago

          I do.. and no Palace mids, so might get a mid

          1. HD7
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 1 day ago

            Hmm... have Sarr... may get Eze too

  29. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Bit early to ask, but I will ask anyway. For the double I have:
    Mateta, Munoz, Isak, and Barnes. I want one more attacker.

    Eze or Murphy / Gordon?

    Will FH in33 so that's not relevant. I think a Newcastle mid makes more sense as I will just have to remove Palace players later.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      gordon if he plays 80+ against leicester. otherwise murphy imo

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 day ago

        ty

  30. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    I am debating selling Munoz. These four games are not easy for Palace and they're not playing well and now have Guehi missing the next match. Anybody else tempted and if so, who are they considering?

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      No. Not tempted.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Not at all

    3. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      If I owned, I wouldn't even consider selling him.
