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
      7 months, 15 days ago

      Chalobah sub for me!

    2. Michelle Davin
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      Dammit,no Dorgu!

  4. maltasi
    • 16 Years
    7 months, 15 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
      7 months, 15 days ago

      Dorgu

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      Dorgu?

      1. maltasi
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 15 days ago

        Delap

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 15 days ago

          That is unlucky

          1. maltasi
            • 16 Years
            7 months, 15 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
      7 months, 15 days ago

      Delap?

      1. maltasi
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 15 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
    7 months, 15 days ago

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

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      You obviously haven’t watched them play recently

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 15 days ago

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

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

      Chelsea def non owner?

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

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

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

          Ouch

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 15 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
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 15 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
        7 months, 15 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
    7 months, 15 days ago

    Dorgu cappers in tears

    1. Michelle Davin
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      there were dorgu cappers

  8. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 15 days ago

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

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

      In Thomas the Frank engine we trust

  9. Meta12345
    • 1 Year
    7 months, 15 days ago

    Never choosing a chelsea defender again

  10. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 15 days ago

    Cunha hat-trick today

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

      Obviously

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        7 months, 15 days ago

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

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      We pray

  11. DeSelby
    • 3 Years
    7 months, 15 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
    7 months, 15 days ago

    Dalot over Dorgu, why on earth…

    1. bialk
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

      Pep roulette. I kept him on WC.

    2. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 15 days ago

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

  13. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 15 days ago

    Ok De Ligt, Cunha amd Boomo, nows the time

  14. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 15 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
      7 months, 15 days ago

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

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 15 days ago

        Dropped for Sesko soon surely?

        1. Moon Dog
            7 months, 15 days ago

            Maybe. He will have to earn his spot.

        2. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          7 months, 15 days ago

          He was left out of the latest squad though

          1. Moon Dog
              7 months, 15 days ago

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

          2. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            7 months, 15 days ago

            Hope not. He isn't good enough.

        3. MIGHTY JOE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

        10. jacob1989
          • 4 Years
          7 months, 15 days ago

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

          1. Moon Dog
              7 months, 15 days ago

              None here. But everyone who matters has 1.

          2. AC/DC AFC

              • 16 Years
              7 months, 15 days ago

              Decided against hit to get him in for palmer

              1. nanxun
                • 4 Years
                7 months, 15 days ago

                Nice call!

              2. nanxun
                • 4 Years
                7 months, 15 days ago

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

            2. Sun God Nika

                • 4 Years
                7 months, 15 days ago

                Happy for him, too.

            Finally Wolves go down this season

            • 2 Years
            7 months, 15 days ago

            Jack has certainly transformed this EVE attack

          7. jacob1989

            7 months, 15 days ago

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

            1. Sun God Nika
              • 5 Years
              7 months, 15 days ago

              He was in villa

            2. diesel001
              • 9 Years
              7 months, 15 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.

          8. WVA
            • 9 Years
            7 months, 15 days ago

            Senesi looking a good option

            1. GreennRed
              • 14 Years
              7 months, 15 days ago

              Not from the bench and Van de Ven started!
