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.

    What's the point of VAR?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 19 days ago

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

        This

      Agreed, VAR in the PL has been such a farce this season.

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 13 Years
        11 months, 19 days ago

        Speaking of which, I was at the game yesterday, watching O’Brien take a throw in. Out of nowhere, the ref brandishes a yellow card. I was totally confused.

        Turns out that he’d pulled Ben White to the ground a minute earlier. Ref missed it as no free kick given. VAR check it for a potential red. Inform ref and he gives a yellow.

        I thought that VAR were not giving yellows.

        1. Third Eye Vision
          • 13 Years
          11 months, 19 days ago

          At the end of the game there was 4 minutes of extra time. The ref blew about 20 seconds too early. The Everton players pointed to the clock on the scoreboard showing his mistake and he changed his mind and let the game go on.

          I’d never seen that before either.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 months, 19 days ago

            Did anything of note happen in those additional 20 seconds?

            1. Third Eye Vision
              • 13 Years
              11 months, 19 days ago

              Yes.

        2. DeSelby

          They really have no idea what they're doing. It's appalling.

          As for the van Dijk incident today though I don't have a problem with no call there. (and no, I'm not a Liverpool supporter)
          Berge had one arm around van Dijk's neck and had jumped on his back. I think van Dijk should be allowed a bit of an arm swing in order to free himself in that situation.
