A busy Sunday of Premier League football gets underway with three matches at 2pm BST.

Arsenal kick off their Double Gameweek 33 with a trip to Ipswich Town.

Ben White, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Leandro Trossard get recalls, with Jurrien Timber, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Thomas Partey dropping out.

That means Bukayo Saka starts in the Premier League for the first time since Gameweek 17.

Kieran McKenna, meanwhile, makes just one change to his Ipswich side. Jacob Greaves for Cameron Burgess is the only alteration.

Liam Delap continues on the bench.

Marco Silva makes just two changes to his Fulham line-up in west London.

Kenny Tete and Raul Jimenez come into the starting XI, replacing Timothy Castagne and Rodrigo Muniz, who is absent from the matchday squad.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has made seven changes to a losing side, following Thursday’s 2-1 defeat to Legia Warsaw.

Robert Sanchez, Trevoh Chalobah, Levi Colwill, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Noni Madueke and Pedro Neto start.

Out go Filip Jorgensen, Josh Acheampong, Tosin Adarabiyo, Benoit Badiashile, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jadon Sancho and Christopher Nkunku.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim makes five alterations after Thursday’s last-gasp win over Lyon.

Victor Lindelof, Tyler Fredricson and Harry Amass come into the backline, with Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Diogo Dalot dropping to the bench.

Further forward, Kobbie Mainoo and Christian Eriksen replace Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes.

Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Vitor Pereira makes two changes to his line-up: Santiago Bueno and Matheus Cunha start, with Matt Doherty and the injured Jean-Ricner Bellegarde the men replaced.

*Jose Sa has been injured in the warm-up. Dan Bentley replaces him in goal, with Tom King now starting on the bench.

    Pretty sure Ode touched it, Saka passed to Ode, he had a bad touch and it and ended up with Tross

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

          • 16 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            11 months, 5 days ago

              Saka captains see differently.

                • 15 Years

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

      3. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

  4. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      So no deflection and the ground bobbled the ball?

  8. Haa-lala-land
    • 5 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Will Maresca even see out the season?

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Surely he will, they were singing we’ve got our Chelsea back a few months ago

      Or is that only when they win?

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

  11. sttewwizza
    • 14 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Ball didn't change direction, ball didn't slow up after Odegaard "touch"... So this Is a key for Saka asiss...

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

  12. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Saka owner here but not captain
    Not fussed either way if the assist was given
    But what do we think of 1 point goal contribution point in FPL next season in instances like just now

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

  14. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    What kind of Saka-tinted glasses do you have to have if you think that's a Saka assist? Clearly took a touch from Odegaard

  15. Glad He Ate Her
    • 5 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Someone score in the Arsenal game, so people stop talking about the "assist"

  27. _Ninja_

  29. Hazz
