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

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

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 9 days ago

      Cool kids still picked him, innit

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 9 days ago

      Agree

  9. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 9 days ago

    Man Utd should go for a manager like Moyes....

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 9 days 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.

  16. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 9 days ago

    Lots of options to change Cunha to… who do people prefer?

    1. Dango
    2. Ndiaye
    3. Sarr
    4. Grealish

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 9 days ago

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

  17. RealMadrid4Ever
    • 2 Years
    7 months, 9 days ago

    1. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 9 days ago

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

  18. GoonerSteve
    • 16 Years
    7 months, 9 days ago

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

    Great.

    1. Supersonic_

      Is Sam Allardyce available

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 9 days ago

        Even he can’t save United.

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          7 months, 9 days ago

          They're winning. Could have had a penalty.

          1. Absolutely Muñozed
              7 months, 9 days ago

              its only against burnley

              1. GreennRed
                • 14 Years
                7 months, 9 days 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.

            • el polako
              • 8 Years
              7 months, 9 days 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
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 9 days ago

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

          1. ‘Tis the Season
            • 7 Years
            7 months, 9 days ago

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

          2. SINGH
            • 7 Years
            7 months, 9 days ago

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

        2. Bluetiger1
          • 3 Years
          7 months, 9 days 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?

      4. Scar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 9 days ago

        What happend to Cunha?

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          7 months, 9 days ago

          Possibly hamstring injury.

        2. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          7 months, 9 days ago

          Hammy

      5. BobB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 9 days ago

        Delap out 6-8 weeks. Joao Pedro golden.

        1. Bluetiger1
          • 3 Years
          7 months, 9 days ago

          Chelsea No cover

          Got Pedro & Delap in for comp for Jackson

          1. Bluetiger1
            • 3 Years
            7 months, 9 days ago

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

        2. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          7 months, 9 days ago

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

      6. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 9 days ago

        Pool will eat that Burnley defense alive
