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.

      I made score boy error of Gordon in before game as looking replacement for Palmer
      after taking (-4) hit to get Pedro in GW 3 before price went up.

      GW1 / GW2 disaster - GW3 starting on (-8) but I'm loving FPL my worse ever
      start in 14 years as I enter my 15th starting from a lofty 7,467,022 played
      two chips BB & WC back fired. (lol)

      Now from GW4 start to look to claw things back (lol)

    Lesson learned, don't buy United players. Unless their name is Bruno Fernandes.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

    Amorim have a body language of a beaten man.
    Wouldn’t be surprised if after this job he’ll go fishing for 12 months.

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

      He made his bed early by saying he wouldn't change his tactics. Seems like his tactics aren't going to work in the PL

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      You should take the job. They'd surely benefit from your vast football knowledge and exerience.....

      1. el polako

    1. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

  16. tbos83
    • 5 Years

    Amad having the best of the chances

  17. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Boomo has to stop passing and start shooting. He doesn’t have the quality of Wissa finishers in this United team.

  18. chocolove
    • 15 Years

  23. F4L
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    the popular trio of United mids have had one of the most cursed starts to a season i have ever seen. the fact there isnt one attacking return between them by now is mind-blowing

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Looking at the quality of that team, i am surprised you are mind blown.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        i get your point but....
        bruno pass to dorgu post
        cunha world class save by raya
        cunha "fouled" by saliba, good shout for pen
        cunha post
        cunha world class save by leno
        bruno pen miss
        mbeumo loses assist for yoro goal cause he mistimes his header
        bruno loses chance at second pen (alright fine, can see why)
        mount post set up by mbeumo
        amad misses huge chance set up by mbeumo

        and thats just the standout ones

        and now cunha injured. just how it goes

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Mbeumo should have had about 4 assists this season so far

      1. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        Yep Cunha should have had 2 goals too, very unlucky for owners.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          10 months, 22 days ago

          Bruno 3 pens

  24. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Zirkzee 😮

  25. Bushwhacker
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    If they could finish this United team look decent again. More like Arsenal, less like Fulham.

  26. RICICLE
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Anyone hit that WC Button yet?

    1. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Most likely

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

      Nope. No one yet.

      1. RICICLE
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        Nice

  27. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Cunha to Gakpo looks easy

  28. Gazwaz80
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Bruno smashing the baps also…

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Fingers in all the pies

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Extremely unlucky the penalty was cancelled as well by all accounts

  29. putana
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    they just make up defcon for bruno. How is he on 12 already

  30. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Man, lucky I didn't cap Cunha but my Man Utd reliant FH is looking pretty terrible.
