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.

  3. lilmessipran

    3 months, 19 days ago

    Yo whats up with injuries every gw in my team- Palmer. JSL, now Cunha..crazy variance

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 19 days ago

      Will probably bring in Sarr gw4 so we know where this is going.

  4. Brunsvigeren
    • 10 Years
    3 months, 19 days ago

    Which site does people use to see Price change chances?

    1. AnthonyBkr
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 19 days ago

      Livefpl.net/prices

  5. Mighty Duck
    • 1 Year
    3 months, 19 days ago

    Grealish made both Everton goals. Gonna become a must-have soon. Tho tough choice between him and Ndiaye (until we get a confirmation about the pen taker there).

    1. Kodap
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 19 days ago

      Would you look at him to replace Cunha?

      1. Mighty Duck
        • 1 Year
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Defo yeah

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 19 days ago

      Is Grealish good at pens?

    3. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 19 days ago

      Grealish assister
      Ndiaye shooter

  6. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 19 days ago

    Bruno 12 def con in one half. Essential

  7. Moon Dog
      3 months, 19 days ago

      Bruno is on track to overtake Caicedo for defcons over the season.

      He's like Caicedo and Enzo combined into one player.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        But with a lot less points

      2. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Too pricy for defconibility. Better when he gets attacking returns.

    • Prinzhorn
      • 4 Years
      3 months, 19 days ago

      double Spurs defence
      when it rains it POURS

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        It's raining in Manchester, innit

      2. Riverside Red
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Transferred Evanilson out for Johnson and Spurstriple up ..so stop moaning

    • _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 19 days ago

      Mbuemo could have had 2 G & 1 A in that half, so frustrating.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Monkey on his back

      2. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Could be worse. You could have Cunha instead.

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 months, 19 days ago

          I did think that.

          He might be a keep, he looks the most likely to score.

      3. F4L
        • 11 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        the attacking returns will come.

      4. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Chelsea should have conceded a goal in all 3 league games so far

        Fine lines and all that

    • WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 19 days ago

      Bruno captain over Salah, just wow

    • Mother Farke
      • 1 Year
      3 months, 19 days ago

      Benched Porro cause I saw BTTS. Need Senesi's CS wiped.

    • Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 19 days ago

      What happened to Dorgu...is he injured or out of favour

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Looks to be out of favour.

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Still rubbish

      3. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Benched because of the cup exit performance I think.

      4. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Out of favour

      5. Moon Dog
          3 months, 19 days ago

          Subbed at halftime midweek because he was poor.

          Dalot has been really good this half imo.

        • Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          3 months, 19 days ago

          Played the Grimsby game. Seems to be the same with Sesko.

      6. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        FFS why is Dorgu on the bench :l

        Man U better concede

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          3 months, 19 days ago

          Grimsby run out.

      7. Mother Farke
        • 1 Year
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Offside Ndiaye G

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          3 months, 19 days ago

          Bruno to Ndiaye

      8. jacob1989
        • 3 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Can anyone explain what exactly is defcon? How does bruno have 12?.is it winning the ball back? Blocking a shot? Intercepting a pass?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 months, 19 days ago

          After their two game streak?

          Home to Burnley then last week at Man City.

      10. wiseguy
        • 4 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Bruno already has defcons wtf?

      11. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        3 months, 19 days ago

        Bring Salah in for Cunha -4? Would need to find 0.5 by dropping Ekitike/Gyokeres to Pedro, or Ballard to Reinildo.

        Or Gakpo/Grealish/other for no hit?

        My defence is a mess and team is way too top heavy.

        * = benched/injured

        Raya, Dubravka
        Dorgu*, Ballard*, Senesi, Esteve, Gudmundsson
        Kudus, Semenyo, Cunha*, Rejinders, King
        Gyokeres, Ekitike, Haaland.

        1. Randy_Marsh
          • 15 Years
          3 months, 19 days ago

          Bit early

            • 16 Years
            3 months, 19 days ago

              3 months, 19 days ago

              Went with Vicario over Sanchez on my WC as his mid term fixtures looked the best, and it started badly.

              Went with Cunha over Grealish on my WC as he had the best immediate fixture, and it started even worse.

              1. have you seen cyan
                • 6 Years
                3 months, 19 days ago

                I’ve been thinking for a while that Vicario isn’t a very good keeper :/

            7. jacob1989
