Four more Premier League matches follow on from the Merseyside derby, all of them kicking off at 3pm BST.

TEAM NEWS

There’s no Murillo for Nottingham Forest today as Ange Postecoglou’s side travel to Turf Moor.

There are three changes in all for the Tricky Trees from last weekend, with Oleksandr Zinchenko, Douglas Luiz and Dilane Bakwa coming in.

Ibrahima Sangare and Callum Hudson-Odoi make way.

Florentino replaces the suspended Lesley Ugochukwu for Burnley.

At the Amex, Xavi Simons is the latest victim of Thomas Frank’s rotation. Also being culled are Pape Matar Sarr and Djed Spence.

Destiny Udogie, Joao Palhinha and Wilson Odobert all start.

Brighton make four changes with Brajan Gruda, Carlos Baleba, Ferdi Kadioglu and Yasin Ayari all starting.

James Milner and Danny Welbeck are benched, while Jack Hinshelwood and Maxim De Cuyper miss out with injuries.

Jorgen Strand Larsen is only fit enough for substitute duty at Molineux.

Jose Sa, Jackson Tchatchoua, Jeanricner Bellegarde and Fer Lopez oust Sam Johnstone, Hugo Bueno, Andre and Hwang Hee-chan.

Leeds are unchanged.

Finally, at the London Stadium, Crystal Palace’s sole alteration sees Adam Wharton return from a groin injury and replace Jefferson Lerma in midfield.

West Ham have made two tweaks. Alphonse Areola replaces Mads Hermansen in goal, while Callum Wilson comes in for the suspended Tomas Soucek.

    As it happens, I get Reijnders as well, due to Sarr no show.

    Is there anyway of players getting defensive contributions after the match has finished?

    1. THE Wild Rover
      1 year, 1 month ago

      They be adjusted up to the end of the GW

      1. THE Wild Rover
        1 year, 1 month ago

        *can be

    2. Cruyff's Eleven

      Haven't seen it yet

    Gameweek comes down to this:

    (P)almer

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Only Mateta and Williams returns so far so very disappointing

  4. Shark Team
    1 year, 1 month ago

    40pts with 3 remaining
    Should I be happy or not?

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes that is an excellent score this week

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Relative to others yeah I guess

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Nice humble brag champ

    4. NoOneCares
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I almost have that with 6 remaining so not good.

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      That's a good score imo

  5. Feanor
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Still fuming Grealish got himself a yellow after the whistle. He’s such a plonker.

    1. Free Hat
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Was coming tbh. Moaning all game long against referee.
      Tbf, he got a point most of the time, but still.

      1. Feanor
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Pickford had to pull him away before he got a second

  6. Free Hat
    1 year, 1 month ago

    For a CB Van de Ven doesnt get a lot of Defcon compared to other cbs.

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      1 year, 1 month ago

      It’s bizarre, like what is he doing

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Having said that seems to have excellent attacking threat, should have scored today again

      2. Free Hat
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Looking at Romero most likely....

  7. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    West Ham are annoying. Offered nothing this season get somehow still busted my clean sheets three times.

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

      The team may not be a force but Bowen is. I feel your frustration though.

    2. Free Hat
      1 year, 1 month ago

      True

  8. Jordan.

    1 year, 1 month ago

    i think kudus cross was on target before van hecke nodded it in /possible change to a kudus goal ???

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      On target for what? The corner flag?

      1. Jordan.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 1 month ago

        im thinking its curling in at the far post,its certainly close,and place the corner flag in your hole ,its only speculation ffs

  9. aapoman
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Thinking about using WC. Is this good?

    Raya Dubravka
    Gabriel Senesi Andersen Richards Gudmundson
    Palmer Semenyo Ndiaye Reijnders Stach
    Haaland Gyökeres JoaoPedro

    1. GoonerSteve
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I like it. My current squad is:

      Raya, Dubravka
      Munoz, Senesi, Chalobah, Gudmundsson, Esteve.
      Semenyo, Grealish, Palmer, Kudus, Reijnders.
      Haaland, Ekitike, Gyokeres.

      Bit of a benching headache this week, otherwise Ekitike to Pedro is an option. I might roll though. Or just switch Munoz to someone with a better fixture and def cons.

  10. Feanor
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Triple Spurs essential vs Wolves?

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

      Triple (insert team name) is essential vs Wolves.

  11. GoonerSteve
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Bench boost suddenly looking ok with 12 from Esteve, Gudmundsson, Dubravka and Reijnders still to play.

    1. Feanor
      1 year, 1 month ago

      12+ is solid

      1. GoonerSteve
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Got about averahe of 7 from the dgw bbs last season or so. I'm delighted.

  12. Twisted Saltergater

    1 year, 1 month ago

    How does Amorim expect Man Utd to be competitive playing one midfielder with no legs + Bruno?

    1. Tomerick
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I don’t think he does but he basically said he’s incapable of thinking of any other tactics because he thinks it would make him look weak.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 1 month ago

        The irony is that Bruno is world class playing as a 10 or an 8 in a 433, and now United have sold all their exciting wingers! All they had to do was sign someone like Elliott Anderson to protect the back 4.

    2. x.jim.x
      1 year, 1 month ago

      He's just waiting for that sweet, sweet severance pay

    3. NoOneCares
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Man U have not been competitive in almost a decade and are an irrelevant team now.

  13. Totalfootball
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Dubravka bap ?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Close but Foster pipped him

  14. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    On WC, would you have VVD and Gabriel or just one of them?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Just Gabriel

    2. lilmessipran
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I have Raya + VVD, but if wildcarding now I would go Raya+ Gabriel and defcon cheapies alongside

    3. Rico123
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Just Gabriel and a cheaper option over VVD for me

  15. Jet5605
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Is it time to flog Palace assets (including Lacroix, Munoz) with the fixtures turning?

    1. lilmessipran
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Munoz seems kind of overpriced vs Lacroix and Richards...not getting the attacking returns, even when he does get the 1 in 4 games attacking return, Richards and Lacroix can keep up with their defcons and cheaper prices.

    2. Rico123
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I’m thinking of shipping Munoz soon to free up funds, but think I’ll stick with Mateta

  16. jacob1989
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Need to boot gakpo.. 0.2 short of getting palmer but can still do wirh 2ft.
    Anyone else? My other mids are

  18. tim

    1. THE Wild Rover
      1 year, 1 month ago

      When he literally could get injured in the next couple of hours?

  19. Rico123
    1 year, 1 month ago

    1 FT, £2.9m ITB

    Would you

    A. wildcard this team to get Haaland in (with a Haaland plus Salah team)
    B. -4 to switch out Salah > Haaland
    C. Stick without Haaland and hide behind sofa next week

    Kelleher (Valdi)
    Gabriel Munoz VdV (De Cuyper Esteve)
    Salah Kudus Rogers Semenyo (Anderson)
    Mateta Pedro Wood

  20. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    FFS, Bowen and NWilliams on the bench. 19points. Aaargh

    1. THE Wild Rover
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Why on earth would you bench Bowen?

      1. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Was between him and Grealish

        1. Feanor
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Gotta start Bowen at home

  21. Pornchef

    Reckless from Sanchez. Mbeumo wasn’t getting to the ball after his flick
