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.

    What a master class in composure by Minteh.

  2. #1 Arne Engels Fan
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Minteh looked offside... did they even check that?

  3. Thanos

    Rutter my differential.. wohoo

    1. DeSelby
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Mine too. Of course +3 points for him means I get -4 for Porro. Ah well.

  4. JBG
    1 year, 1 month ago

    That Spurs defensive line was Ange esque

  5. Count of Monte Hristo
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Glad I benched VDV then. Porro goal will do.

  6. Weasel Boy

    Over 90 mins before Liverpool got a penalty against Burnley and now Burnley can't even do 10 mins against Forest without conceding.

    Typical

      Are you Sun Jihai?

  8. FPL Blow-In

    1 year, 1 month ago

    Benched Petrovic and played Vicario
    Benched Senesi and played double Arsenal defence
    Benched Elliot and played Xavi and Gakpo

    Elliot one was the logical move but can see loads of bench points coming in

  9. AC/DC AFC

    Oh

    BB busted early on at Burnley, Wolves and Brighton!

    1. GoonerSteve
      1 year, 1 month ago

      It's not looking good.

  10. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Two of my CSs busted in the first 10 mins, two of my players benched/injured.

    WC beckons!

  11. chocolove
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Mateta already exhausted

    1. FPL Sanky
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Hahahaha....what does he do at night that he is always exhausted when playing

  12. Tonyawesome69
    1 year, 1 month ago

    So we all back to counting defcons after busted CSs...

    1. chocolove
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Flol.
      "Gimme VVd 14 defconnn!"

  13. JBG
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Kudus playing waaay too wide for my liking. Him and Gakpo gone after this GW most likely.

    1. Sun God Nika
      1 year, 1 month ago

      yep my thinking , its just they have good fixtures which keeps me trying to be loyal

      1. JBG
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Exactly... but when he's playing like this, it doesn't help.

    2. FPL Sanky
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I brought Kudus on my WC... imagine

      1. Dont give a fuchs
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I sold Neco Williams on my WC. Imagine

        1. FPL Sanky
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Ohh that's rough

    3. Count of Monte Hristo
      1 year, 1 month ago

      What 0layers are you liking between 5.5-7.5?

      1. JBG
        1 year, 1 month ago

        That's the issue... none imo.

        I can easily afford Gakpo directly to palmer, so doing that. Benching Kudus or Reindeer next GW

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Dropped him for a hit

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Isak Strand Larsen Wissa Sesko Watkins ... at least, all are still stuck from producing

  16. FPL Sanky
    1 year, 1 month ago

  17. fedolefan
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Good job Minteh. Got him in a -4 to replace the injured Tielemans, only to play the bench boost.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. FPL Sanky
        1 year, 1 month ago

    2. Sun God Nika
      1 year, 1 month ago

      1. JBG
        1 year, 1 month ago

          1 year, 1 month ago

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago
