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.

    Being on free hit in 34 and getting Palmer in must be depressing.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Yep. Some people will want to spend their budget

  3. DropkickMurphys

    Never going in on a double gameweek again. Had Tyrick George in my squad up until this gameweek, knew i should have just left it and captained him. Same every year.

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

    Captaincy, eh?
    This week I've dodged Marmoush, I've dodged Saka, and finally made it the Liverpool game, which was the obvious captain choice if you really think about it.

    Come on, Vardy (C), now is your time

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

      Just realised I captained KDB!

  17. EWH2020
    • 12 Years

    Imagine not captaining the highest point scorer in the game, playing against the most out of form team in the Premier League.

    Couldn't be me.

    Salah (C) let's have this

  18. The Philosopher

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          11 months, 5 days ago

  20. bso

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Chelsea disease syndrome. Can take 18 months before symptoms become apparent

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years

  21. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Damn, Salah still over 100% EO

  22. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years

  23. Sgt. Schultz

  24. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years

  25. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Should've capped Raya ffs

    1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Why?

  26. Mozumbus
    • 4 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Sigh of relief for triple Arsenal defense

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      well done

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        11 months, 5 days ago

        Thanks
        Added Kiwior on top of Raya and Saliba

  27. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Starting to wonder if Saka is made out of glass.

    Ridiculous error from me capping him.

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Yep, got to bin off Saka

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

      Tbh he gets kicked at least 20 times a game

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Thought he had the highest ceiling this week if he played.

      On another day he scores one of those chances, subbed after 60 and you're on 20 points with a game to go.

      As it happens, he's probably missing out Vs Palace and you're all out on 2 points.

      It's just luck.

  28. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Raya, Saliba, Kiwior will take it 🙂

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      11 months, 5 days ago

      Yes, same

  29. Not again Shirley
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 5 days ago

    Nice one Neto. Couldn’t do that last week could you mate!!
