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.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          8 months, 8 days ago

          It's only cause FPL Harry did the opposite

  2. Nomar

    Next season I’m sacking off the DGW’s

    Nothing but a complete waste of time and transfers for naff all.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Sacked off the Newcastle one. Punished.
      Went all in on this one. Punished.

      I don't think you can win tbh

    2. Glad He Ate Her
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      No you aren't

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

      If the BB remains should be twice a season. It might be useful to plan for a single GWs

      I am doing crap at AM so far but I like the chip

      Don't like the way it was introduced

  3. EWH2020

    ML rival has double Arsenal defence, Robinson, RAN, Kerkez

    Not making any ground on him. Such a joke. Need these CS wiped

  4. g40steve

    1. g40steve

  6. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years

    Mark Sutherns take a bow!

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years

      Lucking out as always

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Trossard captain?

      1. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 14 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        No he has Saka c

  8. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years

    Bruno crazy miss

  9. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    8 months, 8 days ago

    No idea what's going on with Slot and Chiesa. Not even in the squad today. Diaz number 9 when we've seen a million times that it doesn't work. Chiesa a much more experienced number 9 and if not, at least use Darwin.

  10. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    8 months, 8 days ago

    Those that went Tross instead of Saka huge green

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Can’t believe it paid off

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        But did take out mbuemo on FH

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Was on him until I decided Saka was the best captain this week (ha) and Gabriel stopped me from triple Arsenal. So went with Rashford.

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      Will probably start V Palace also as he will play V PSG with Merino in CM so seems they are getting the practice in

      1. boc610
        • 13 Years
        8 months, 8 days ago

        Confirm that bias!

      If the BB remains should be twice a season. It might be useful to plan for a single GWs

      I am doing crap at AM so far but I like the chip

      Don't like the way it was introduced went Bowen as I don't have FH 3r

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

    1. Glad He Ate Her
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 8 days ago

      You mean basically any Arsenal players other than Saka

      1. fantasist
        • 15 Years

  13. shirtless

  15. fantasist
