There are three Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 BST today.

Brentford take on Chelsea at the Gtech Community Stadium, Fulham and Liverpool meet at Craven Cottage, while Tottenham Hotspur host Southampton in north London.

The headline team news is that Cole Palmer is only a substitute for Chelsea. Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella, Pedro Neto and Nicolas Jackson also have to make do with a place on the bench.

In come Tosin Adarabioyo, Reece James, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Noni Madueke and Christopher Nkunku.

Thomas Frank makes two changes to the Brentford team that started Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United.

Kristoffer Ajer is in for Ethan Pinnock at the back, while Mikkel Damsgaard replaces Vitaly Janelt in central midfield. Rico Henry also returns to the bench.

Liverpool’s only change from the 1-0 win over Everton sees Cody Gakpo come in for Luis Diaz. Alisson Becker is yet to clear concussion protocols so Caoimhin Kelleher continues in goal.

Fulham boss Marco Silva makes five changes to the side that lost 2-1 to Arsenal.

Jorge Cuenca, Emile Smith Rowe, Adama Traore and Raul Jimenez drop to the bench, while Issa Diop is not in the matchday squad.

Calvin Bassey, Ryan Sessegnon, Andreas Pereira, Alex Iwobi and Rodrigo Muniz are promoted to the starting XI.

Finally, in north London, Spurs make three changes: Ben Davies, Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson come in for Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie and Wilson Odobert.

      Lol. Well Fulham are a good side TBH. We did have to work hard for our two away wins

      Silva was the AM play. Quite happy with the Jrank draw

      Sell Sarr to Murphy probably and put it on Glasner

      Was to rough to go. Were you at the game yesterday?

  5. Cojones of Destiny
    • 7 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    AM Silva was the play

  6. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years

    Hoping for an Isak start and masterclass, need this luck now

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Never have I needed something like this ever in FPL! We should be rewarded for going against Salah cap

    2. The-Red-1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Also on Isak captain. I'd imagine he'll get a cameo 1 pointer now looking at how this gw has gone

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        8 months, 15 days ago

        I know yeah haha!
        But nah, he either starts or doesn’t come on at all I reckon. He should play.

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          8 months, 15 days ago

          Yes just one player from the bench. That is fit Hudjsen assist

  7. Reddonkeyham 42
    • 11 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    Captain Marmoush (new Marvel hero?) to save my week

  8. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    If Isak no show, Salah v/c
    Savinho as sub who’s benched!

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      same and i don’t mind that )

    2. The-Red-1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Same for me. Suspect we'll get the Savinho 1 point

    3. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Same for me. Will be decisive.

          Wow. He was the play. Went for Frank.

          Hope Arsenal and Pool are on the beach. Two more away win. Europa conference

  13. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    Shocker of a gw

    20 with Gvardiol, Bruno, Marmoush, Isak, Murphy, Howe to go

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Haul!

  14. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    Capped Salah, felt like this was the sort of game that he comes alive. Big sofa needed tomorrow

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      These are the games to go against

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

        I went against him last week because I knew Everton would be a tough game but I didn't expect Fulham to play this well today they haven't been in great form

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Tbh Robinson was one main reason for going against Salah.

      Not sure about their bad form as well. For example the scoreline against Palace didn't give a good picture of Fulham's performance.

      Just wanted to give my opinion on why I went against Salah even though he can always perform against anyone. And tbf I think he was more involved than I thought.

      At least Arsenal dropped some points 😉

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

        Silver linings.

  15. Yes Ndidi
    • 6 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    62 points clear in ML, I have BB & FH left, only real rival is in the 2nd week of AM Slot but has no other chips left..
    Should be OK, but....
    Feels like I could be about to do a Liverpool.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Yeah I am 72 points behind before games started. He has BB and FH. I played AM on Frank then to Glasner.

      Made the worst game ever bearable to watch. They should have one in the last 10 minutes. Having Palmer was hoping he wouldn't come on. Only have one fit sub though. Hudjsen assist

      Have WC and BB left.

      Only decision is to play WC and play single players GW33 play the blank and WC35 . Trouble is WC34 we won't know who's in the FA cup final? Is that correct?

      1. Yes Ndidi
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 15 days ago

        I think it all happens on the same weekend, so we won't know the result of the semis before 34 deadline.
        Annoying, because I'm thinking now of foregoing FH33, just because I don't know who will play for Villa & Arsenal, and saving it until 36. Can field 7 doublers in 33 and 8 (+4FT) in 34, so not looking awful either way.

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          8 months, 15 days ago

          It will be the sensible play. There will be a ton of rotation.

          That's why I didn't WC.

          Palace perhaps not Arsenal perhaps not, as they have a week off, but may do if they somehow gets through

          It's only GL I hate not Leicester themselves lol

          Only been to Filbert Street although the 1996 final was heartbreaking. Still we won in the 90th minute. Hopkins looking to curl one

  16. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    36 pointer from Brennan….
    Season back on
    Shame I played Martinez over Flekken

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Nice Cap 2% owned

      Could’ve took pen as well

    2. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Hell of a punt, well done…

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Nice. Planet FPL did say he was the only guaranteed starter .

      Captain him wow. Well played

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        8 months, 15 days ago

        I’m so bored this season and dropped from 50k to 500k
        Fancied a bit of fun

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years

      Yep Bruno time hopefully!!

  18. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    Where my boy Crunchie at? Bar being an oracle and forseeing Fulham’s win, think we did pretty well with Frank AM! In fact the best we could have done behind Silva 🙂

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Hello mate. Made the most dullest game of football watchable. Wow the AM chip is passionate.

      Not as much as yesterday ha

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        8 months, 15 days ago

        Still switching to Glasner?

  19. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    I know Southampton were down in November but they are Officially down now!! Awful team…

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Leicester next after Monday

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 months, 15 days ago

        All 3 of them were down weeks ago really. Just the mathematical certainty bits now left to be completed.

        1. Warby84
          • 10 Years
          8 months, 15 days ago

          Next season will be the same!! All promoted teams will go down, the gap is getting bigger and bigger…

      2. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        8 months, 15 days ago

        Would be funny if they went down 2nd from bottom

        dislike GL immensely

    2. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      The play-offs just make a circus of the promotion. Southampton never deserved to go up.

  20. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    Only had Salah in these games dropped 50-60k, Silva managers & BJ owners

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Left Szob on the bench and didn't cap Salah. Good result for me - should rise up the ranks when City and tomorrow Toon see me good.

  21. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    Have Mbeumo/Fernandes/Salah/Bowen looking to move Kluivert on..

    Would you go straight to Roger’s or Savinho(benched today)??

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Rogers

  22. jimmy.floyd
    • 9 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    Triple captain in gw 32 or 36?

  23. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    8 months, 15 days ago

    Who else is on AM chip?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      I am mate, Glasner yesterday and undecided if I should stick given that Guehi is suspended or switch to Howe. Thoughts?

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        8 months, 15 days ago

        Wow nice went Frank today .Will be going on Glasner.

        Richards is back. Lerma will play there instead. Shame we haven't seen Road a 20 year old from Real Sociadad. Not sure how we got him as he was on Barcelona books signed him for a total of 20m . 20 year old. Look great pre season then out for the season more or less with a injury in pre season

        Guehi will be missed. Such a good leader. Chabolah wanted to stay. It will be Clynes final season. He was awful at Southampton. Ward came on for his first game at 35, finally fit. And was so much better. Still club captain.

        Don't think he will start.

        Depends on whether Lacroix was a concussion sub or not

        He wanted to play on. Glasner wanted to play on. Taylor is such an inept ref, for both sides yesterday, we were down to 8 so had to make the sub anyway

    2. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 15 days ago

      o/

      Amorim here, likely Glasner from next GW.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        8 months, 15 days ago

        Good luck. I have two man city. Didn't want Palmer to come on or then score. Had Frank (and Mbeumo)

    3. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      8 months, 15 days ago

      Potter here, going Glasner for next 2.

  24. Euro Raiders
    • 7 Years

    23 from 9 Worst GW of the season!

  25. Goro Majima

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

      Nope but I was yesterday and I'm paying the price today
