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.

    Ok glad I didn’t captain Salah at least!

    1. Dont give a fuchs
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Scary now that the scoreline is 3-1

  2. thegame983
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Var still haven't confirmed the Spurs goal

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      ruled out

  3. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Shd have gone Silva QM pool on the beach

  4. Teddy10

    If you free hit, does the transfer you didn’t use that week get carried over to the next?

    Ie if I free hit in 34, would I have 1 or 2 transfers for week 35

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      You free hit and wildcard to the same number of FTs.

      You don't accumulate one.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Only saved transfers carry over, so if you have only 1FT in 34 that will still be the same in 35

  5. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Can see them pulling out all the stops to sign Guéhi off us based on this defensive showing 🙁

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Left back the bigger priority

  6. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Well, I thought it would be 3-1.

    At full time.

    The other way around!

  7. g40steve

    Pool fans absolutely silent & getting above themselves with the winning the league chants earlier on

  8. Merlin the Wraith
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Oh dear, I mentioned earlier I was planning on Areola/Gabriel-Verbruggen/VvD for 32BB. Hope there's a L'pool reaction, just not today, Isak (C)

  9. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Liverpool clearly dropped off, with the title done Salah won't be worth captaining after GW34 I feel

    1. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Why? It’s not like they have any other competitions to focus on

  10. HattyMachine
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Salah has been so quiet

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Good

    2. Joke Insurance™
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Must be an introvert

    3. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      He has been for quite some time. That PSG 2nd leg broke Liverpool...

    4. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      He’s always like this. Until he pops up with a tap in and tricks everyone into thinking he’s elite

      1. Brehmeren
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 6 hours ago

        lol

  11. Reddonkeyham 42
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Saints get relegated if they lose this right?

    1. HattyMachine
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Yup

  12. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    2. Joke Insurance™
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 5 hours ago

      I’ll take it as long as Maddy is not involved.

  13. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Glad Van Dijk is getting exposed, was horrid midweek vs Beto

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      That's not what's happening.

  14. Merlin the Wraith
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Yup, hopefully to get trashed by Wrexham next season. 😀

    1. Merlin the Wraith
      • 9 Years

    1. g40steve

      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Yep

  16. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Shocking half from Liverpool

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Fulham should have 4

  17. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Palmer will sub in soon?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      surely will do

  18. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Son is invisible

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Son Cena

  19. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Palmer on yet?

  20. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    How were the 2 finishes from BJ?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Like a plaster’s radio

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Explosive.

    3. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 6 hours ago

      Happy ending

  21. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Isak(c) & Palmer, with Trossard 1st sub...

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      Palmer will come on.

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 6 hours ago

        No doubt. Started Beto ahead of Trossard. Dam.

    2. Sarri-ball
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 6 hours ago

      Also got trossard first sub. Palmer will come on so I'm hoping for a isak no show (not captain)

      For you I think trossard best to stay on bench

  22. iFash@FPL
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    It’s interesting to observe how much time Alisson is unavailable for selection within a given season…

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      He’s obviously not Allseason

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 7 hours ago

        Nice

      2. iFash@FPL

  23. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 7 hours ago

    Bowen owners. Keeping or selling? I am bb32 so not ideal but he has Southampton gw33. I don't know what to do..

    1. iFash@FPL
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 7 hours ago

      He could haul against SOU, no point waisting a transfer.
      Are you on WC32?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 6 hours ago

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years

  24. Scapegoat Salah
