Four more Premier League matches get underway at 15:00 BST this afternoon.

They include the fixture that many Fantasy managers are banking on – maybe more than hope in expectation – being a one-sided bloodbath: Manchester United v Burnley.

TEAM NEWS

Ruben Amorim makes one change from the team that drew at Fulham last weekend, with Diogo Dalot coming in for Patrick Dorgu.

Benjamin Sesko is only among the substitutes as visiting boss Scott Parker named an unchanged XI from the win over Sunderland.

Also sticking with the same line-ups from Gameweek 2 are the head coaches of Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth for their encounter in north London.

The headline team news from the 3pm kick-offs comes from Molineux, where the sought-after Jorgen Strand Larsen is absent.

Also missing is injured £4.0m defender Ki-Jana Hoever.

Hwang Hee-chan instead leads the line for Wolverhampton Wanderers, who also bring in Jackson Tchatchoua, Santiago Bueno, Hugo Bueno and Andre.

Matt Doherty, Jeanricner Bellegarde and David Moller Wolfe drop to the bench.

Beto is preferred to Thierno Barry up top for Everton, who also welcome back Vitaliy Mykolenko to their Premier League XI after his midweek recovery from injury.

Tim Iroegbunam makes way.

Finally, at the Stadium of Light, the hosts bring in Nordi Mukiele and Enzo Le Fee for the injured Dan Ballard and the benched Simon Adingra.

Brentford are unchanged.

    Minute Dorgu comes on to block my Tosin sub? I'm guessing 78

    1. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      Chalobah sub for me!

    2. Michelle Davin
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      Dammit,no Dorgu!

  4. maltasi
    • 16 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    After my triple injury mishap last week (Palmer, Saka and Ait-Nouri), I’m sure you can guess who my transfer was for this weekend 🙁

    1. bialk
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Dorgu

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Dorgu?

      1. maltasi
        • 16 Years
        10 months, 21 days ago

        Delap

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 21 days ago

          That is unlucky

          1. maltasi
            • 16 Years
            10 months, 21 days ago

            Thank you. Seemed a nice differential and likely to start too in gw4 with worries over Pedro going back to Brazil in the international break etc

            Oh well!

    3. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      Delap?

      1. maltasi
        • 16 Years
        10 months, 21 days ago

        I’m starting to get PL managers message me now begging me not to pick any of their players in GW4

  5. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Want Man Utd to drop points today, so expecting them to win handsomely.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      You obviously haven’t watched them play recently

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 21 days ago

        If they play like they played against Arsenal they'll annihilate Burnley.

  6. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Without FPL, this league would be unwatchable. Everything about it is so good but the referees completely spoil it. When watching the World Cup or 99% of CL games, we never have to worry about this stuff. They have way too much power and are ruining games. VAR in the PL is pointless when these pigs are in charge.

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Chelsea def non owner?

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 21 days ago

        Quit FPL last season cause you weren’t coping with a few bad weeks? 😉

        1. fantasyfog
          • 11 Years
          10 months, 21 days ago

          Ouch

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          10 months, 21 days ago

          I don't see how this is some kind of gotcha lol? As if playing when it's not fun is a better use or your time

    2. PartyTime
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      Right! The quality of the EPL has plummeted over the years. The days of Henry, Nistelrooy, Gerrard, Lampard are no more.

      I watch bundesliga every weekend & only appear here when necessary

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 21 days ago

        BL is only played for positions 2-18. We know who will be no. 1. Leverkusen was awesome 1 season and now everyone significant is gone

  7. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Dorgu cappers in tears

    1. Michelle Davin
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      there were dorgu cappers

  8. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Triple spurs here. Bj, vdv and played p sarr over wurtz. Cmon spurs!

    1. fantasyfog
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      In Thomas the Frank engine we trust

  9. Meta12345
    • 1 Year
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Never choosing a chelsea defender again

  10. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Cunha hat-trick today

    1. fantasyfog
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      Obviously

      1. PartyTime
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 21 days ago

        -8 here because of Cunha so I need a hatty 🙂

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      We pray

  11. DeSelby
    • 3 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Hope no one accidentally steps on an opponent's foot in the 3 pm games so we can avoid any more controversy.

  12. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Dalot over Dorgu, why on earth…

    1. bialk
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      Pep roulette. I kept him on WC.

    2. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      No idea, I'd take Dorgu on an off day over Dalot on any other.

  13. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Ok De Ligt, Cunha amd Boomo, nows the time

  14. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Pedro captaincy paid off and Cucurella CS to boot. Saka captaincy differential paid off last week as well but still down at 3 million begging the question what’s the point…on we go!

  15. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    10 months, 21 days ago

    It's nice to see Mount get regular starts. I can see him going to the World Cup.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      Dropped for Sesko soon surely?

      1. Moon Dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        10 months, 21 days ago

        Maybe. He will have to earn his spot.

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      He was left out of the latest squad though

      1. Moon Dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        10 months, 21 days ago

        Yeah, because Mount hasn't been playing regularly in a while. But Tuchel loved him at Chelsea, there's still time.

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      Hope not. He isn't good enough.

  16. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    1. Thanos

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 months, 21 days ago

        I’m not, sorry.

  23. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    I guess everyone has 1 spurs defender atleast so not a big deal

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 21 days ago

      None here. But everyone who matters has 1.

  24. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Beto

    goal

  25. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    United starting well for third league start in a row

    1-1 then

  26. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Jack may have to come in after the intl brk

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      Decided against hit to get him in for palmer

      1. nanxun
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 21 days ago

        Nice call!

      2. nanxun
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 21 days ago

        Whoops. Sorry. Thought you said you took a hit to get Jack in for Cole.

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      He’s incoming for me

      I’m happy for him

      1. nanxun
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 21 days ago

        Happy for him, too.

  27. Mighty Duck
    • 1 Year
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Finally Wolves go down this season

  28. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Jack has certainly transformed this EVE attack

  29. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Is grealish the new kdb?.he has assisted each goal since joining everton

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      He was in villa

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      He's been let off the leash. I said after his first assist that him going to the line and crossing it would never have happened at Man City as Pep would have shouted at him. As soon as I saw that assist I knew Villa Grealish was back.

  30. WVA
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 21 days ago

    Senesi looking a good option

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 21 days ago

      Not from the bench and Van de Ven started!
