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.

Richarlison is named as a substitute after returning from injury.

Southampton also makes three alterations, with Jack Stephens, the suspended Flynn Downes and Paul Onuachu replaced by Joe Aribo, Tyler Dibling and Cameron Archer.

    The ‘we’re going to win the league chants’ derailed 😉

    What min will Salah get his penalty?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 days ago

  4. No Name to Display

    Is that a 4.1 defender scoring against Liverpool?

  5. JBG

    Oh fck off Damsgaard, you idiot

  6. Yozzer

    He's probably going to outscore Palmer with his terrible Saka choice second week running because he took a wild guess that Saka could be benched ( I actually don't believe he did know about it like everyone else does)

  7. No Name to Display

  8. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

    Sessegon is in decent form, 3G’s & 1A in last 5GW’s, hopefully he can kick on next season

    Worse time ever for Salah to blank. It's inevitable when we are facing Isak Vs Leicester. Salah never blanks away lol. How is he looking chaps?

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years

      Forgot he was playing

    2. Gandalf

      Can see Salah blanking, Isak captainers bragging, and then Isak not being fit for start so they all get him as VC.

    3. Reddonkeyham 42

      14 touches, zero shots

  16. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 days ago

    So far I'm glad I didn't captain Salad I just hope surely Isak starts tomorrow

      Me too mate, but it’s events like this where EVERY TIME there’ the perfect chance to capitalise on captain choice, it always ALWAYS backfires. Sick of it, and it’s not often I’ll deviate from Salah cap

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 days ago

        Unfortunately you're right. Getting a differential right feels so difficult this year. Everyone has the same WC team and chances are the AM chip will disappoint as well as the differential captain choice

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 3 days ago

          Absolutely, it really is so tough! Fingers crossed this is the one time it may actually pay off! Just need Salah to do absolutely fiddly squat haha!

  17. JBG
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 days ago

    Now if only Arsenal weren't so Arsenaly

  18. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 3 days ago

    I even just said to myself earlier I don’t even care if Iwobi scores, just want pool to lose and rival even has him!

    It happens haha!

    Awful performance from Liverpool this. So many schoolboy errors.

    I swear, any time Liverpool are in a position to take advantage of something, they never seem to take it. So frustrating as a fan

    Then, when they changed the Bonus Point system from the subjective "man in the stands" to a stats based system, originally there was no transparency on how the calculations worked, but a guy on here (I think it was Applebonkers? (but posting as tbe Bap Chap)) managed to work out how it was all worked out, and he'd post all the bonus points on here usually hours before the official site put them up
