Three more matches follow on from the midday kick-off at Goodison Park.

Nottingham Forest, who have to win to keep alive their slim chances of UEFA Champions League qualification, make just one change from the side that drew with Leicester City last week.

Centre-back Morato drops down to the bench, with the fit-again Murillo recalled.

Callum Hudson-Odoi is also back from injury as a substitute.

Opponents West Ham United are unchanged.

In west London, Thomas Frank has also named an unchanged side from last weekend’s win at Ipswich Town.

Fulham boss Marco Silva has made three changes to his line-up, however.

Antonee Robinson, Sasa Lukic and Adama Traore come into the side as Ryan Sessegnon, Andreas Pereira and Harry Wilson make way.

At the King Power Stadium, Ruud van Nistelrooy has made one alteration from the side that earned a late draw at Nottingham Forest, as Boubakary Soumare gets the nod over Oliver Skipp in the engine room.

Jamie Vardy also starts, making his 500th and final appearance for the club.  

As for Ipswich, Leif Davis, Jens Cajuste, Jack Clarke and George Hirst replace Cameron Burgess, Jack Taylor, Conor Chaplin and Liam Delap.

    any chance of a no-show from either KDB or Salah, got Isak 1st sub, Milenkovic 2nd sub

    1. Bada Bing
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

    I will need either Munoz or Sarr to get no minutes to get Milenkovic points off the bench. It wont happen obviously.

  3. Fifa las vegas

    An Mbeumo goal to make up for the the pen now would be a great way to top things off

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Mbeumo has a 5 point ceiling these days

    2. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      He can't make up for the pen miss
      Costs a lot more points than 5 due to bps aswell

      1. Vazza
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 15 days ago

        I’m in the same boat. I have Wissa, Schade and Mbeumo (c)

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Watkins did, after removing Isak in anger after last GW

    2. just a man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    There's no way a mod has removed my "come on Bowen" comment

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      You should be banned for that

    2. just a man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      A classic for the ages. We’ll remember it fondly regardless

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      I found it offensive and flagged it.

      Kids on this site mate and you're sharing your deep dark fantasies about what you want to do.

  6. JBG
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 15 days ago

    Oh fck off Sels.. let that go in

  7. Rwilliams90
    • 14 Years

    The season summed up in one half. I capped Mbeumo and my rival Wissa. Mbeumo misses a pen, Wissa should be sent off and then steals someone else's goal on the line. Fantastic.

    1. Rwilliams90
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Oh and I own Schade

      1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 15 days ago

        And same at that too
        Season done because mbeumo decides mix it up on his pens ffs

    2. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Exact same

  8. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 15 days ago

    Is Wood playing still?

    1. just a man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Only needs half a chance

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 15 days ago

        He had one or two actually, double chance. Missed

  9. JBG
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 15 days ago

    Oh look Paqueta YC

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      He knew that was coming.

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Unlucky for Paqueta captainers

  10. Punned It
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Switched Milenkovic for Wan-Bissaka, anyone done worse?

    • KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Do West Ham fans make any noise?
      Although Potterball is far from exciting tbf

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 15 days ago

        At Upton Park they did but the London stadium is soulless

        1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
          • 5 Years
          10 months, 15 days ago

          That running track can't help

      2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 15 days ago

        Saw their game vs Palace (0-2), the worst atmosphere I’ve ever witnessed

    • Atimis
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Season finished with that Wissa haul

    • Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 15 days ago

        Why?

    • JBG
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      As someone who sold Murillo after his injury, these well timed blocks from NFO defenders are very annoying

    • WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Isak not in squad?

      1. ProfessorM
