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.

    What's the point of United, Dorgu benched and Cunha off injured. Can't depend on them

    1. Bobby Digital
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I changed formation from Ndiaye to KDH after KDH got that transfer

  5. Jafooli
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Sesko asking if he can be the 5th sub....

  6. The Philosopher
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Ndiaye was the preseason bandwagon which somehow fell off. It's the FPL way.

    1. Bluetiger1
      1 year, 2 months ago

  9. Jafooli

    3. diesel001
      1 year, 2 months ago

      It would end the same way as last time

      Players on big contracts won't respect him. Which is why he does well at smaller clubs where the players do respect him.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I bought him at 8.0 Therefore time wait before he is at risk to be 7.9

  17. RealMadrid4Ever

    1. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Nada. To be fair all of Tot not doing much.

  18. GoonerSteve
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Transferred in Kudus and Cunha for Palmer/Saka and a 4pt hit.

    Great.

  20. Absolutely Muñozed
    1 year, 2 months ago

    1. el polako
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Even he can’t save United.

      1. GreennRed
        1 year, 2 months ago

        They're winning. Could have had a penalty.

        1. Absolutely Muñozed
          1 year, 2 months ago

          its only against burnley

          1. GreennRed
            1 year, 2 months ago

            Who would you expect them to be beating in a gave v Burnley? Can only play the team in front of them. Another keyboard warrior, clueless about football.

        2. el polako
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Hundreds of millions spend and they’re leading a newly promoted side by 1 goal at home…

          I’m not talking about today’s game I’m talking about the whole season, United will need a manager who knows how to stay up.

    Tuchel linked with Man Utd job

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      1 year, 2 months ago

      lol why would he leave the cushy England job for a poisoned chalice like the utd job

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Alladice is prob the best utd could get, corrupt so fitting

      2. SINGH
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Apparently he misses the day to day interaction with players. Plus wants to manage man utd

    2. Bluetiger1
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Was talk last season of Southgate - would sort out the defence
      & get playing with four at the back & Bruno further forward with
      Kobbie holding (legs in mid-field)

      Why or Why Sesko not starting?

  23. Scar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 2 months ago

    What happend to Cunha?

    1. GreennRed
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Possibly hamstring injury.

    2. Bushwhacker
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Hammy

  24. BobB

    Delap out 6-8 weeks. Joao Pedro golden.

    1. Bluetiger1
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Chelsea No cover

      Got Pedro & Delap in for comp for Jackson

      1. Bluetiger1
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Neto I suppose could play up front once Palmer back from injury

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      1 year, 2 months ago

      He's not. Maresca just been told to lie so they can justify buying another player.

  25. Bobby Digital
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Pool will eat that Burnley defense alive

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
