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's the thesaurus got left for the second half?

      • jacob1989

        Good way to improve our English vocabulary ur post

    3. pundit of punts

      Odobert close

      1. #1 Salah Hater
        • 1 Year
        6 months, 20 days ago

        Miles wide. Looks a poor player overall.

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          6 months, 20 days ago

          You're odd

          1. #1 Salah Hater
            • 1 Year
            6 months, 20 days ago

            Lpool fan I guess.

      2. HadiSLIM
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        6 months, 20 days ago

        close to hitting the corner flag

    4. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 20 days ago

      CP not good attacking. Mateta out asap 🙂

    5. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      6 months, 20 days ago

      Just saw why Grealish got the yellow. Would not leave the ref alone after the match.

      1. iFash@FPL
        • 2 Years
        6 months, 20 days ago

        Should that count after the final whistle?
        I want my 1 point back…

    6. JBG
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 20 days ago

      Brighton are playing well, but is it me or are Spurs players already looking kind of jaded or "leggy'? Midweek matches already an issue?

      Might be overthinking but.

    7. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      6 months, 20 days ago

      There's not that many good FPL options atm. I like that. Can't stand the template. The defenders will be the differentials as the season wears on

    8. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 20 days ago

      All I can hope for is defcons from my defenders - Esteve, Rodon, VDV. And save points from Sels. What a gameweek.

    9. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years

      Feels like Solly March has been oit for an eternity. Remember when March or Mitoma was a 50/50 call.

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        6 months, 20 days ago

        *out

    10. JBG
      • 7 Years

      Lol Vicario

    11. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 20 days ago

      Ayari goal

      Brighton 2 up

    12. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      6 months, 20 days ago

      Gakpo has to go right? Minutes look like a big concern

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        6 months, 20 days ago

        Yeah. So does his form now

    13. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 20 days ago

      I can see a pattern emerging

      Brighton great for goals at home and great for captains against them away

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 months, 20 days ago

        Is that like the pattern you saw of backing Dorgu and the United defence?

        1. chocolove
          • 15 Years
          6 months, 20 days ago

          Lol. So much of "pattern"

    14. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 20 days ago

      Spurs UCL hangover, will struggle to keep up form in both competitions

    15. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      6 months, 20 days ago

      Wtf Vicario, sweaty gloves

    16. Moon Dog
        6 months, 20 days ago

        Woke up from a nap with the Southgate Atomic Kitten song in my head.

        I guess that means Amorim's getting fired today.

      • panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 months, 20 days ago

        DCL is back baby!

      • Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        6 months, 20 days ago

        lol @ Vicario

      • #1 Salah Hater
        • 1 Year
        6 months, 20 days ago

        Typical Spurs. Run of good performances + results then randomly decide to get hammered.

      • ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 20 days ago

        Does Woltemade take pens?

      • Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 20 days ago

        Vicario reverting back to last seasons performances...

        1. FPL Sanky
          • 2 Years
          6 months, 20 days ago

          Just Spurs being Spursy

      • JBG
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 20 days ago

        Haha what? DCL is at Leeds?

        1. Moon Dog
            6 months, 20 days ago

            Been looking sharp too...

        2. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          6 months, 20 days ago

          Krejci at Wolves 4.5 DEF playing in midfield, has previously scored goals from midfield but played in defence at girona

        3. Digital-Real
          • 9 Years
          6 months, 20 days ago

          wood sitter missed

          1. JBG
            • 7 Years
            6 months, 20 days ago

            Welp...no points for him, he only scores on his first or not at all

        4. JBG
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 20 days ago

          Bergvall has been horrendous so far

        5. Ghost Ship
          • 15 Years
          6 months, 20 days ago

          Any assist on second Brighton goal?

        6. FPL Sanky
          • 2 Years
          6 months, 20 days ago

          DCL on WC?

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            6 months, 20 days ago

            He’ll be injured before you hit the button

        7. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          6 months, 20 days ago

          What an awful start to the GW

        8. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 months, 20 days ago

          Palace the only reliable source of CS nowadays

          1. FPL Sanky
            • 2 Years
            6 months, 20 days ago

            Don't jinx it man

            1. iFash@FPL
              • 2 Years
              6 months, 20 days ago

              Too late… 🙁
