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.

    1 year, 1 month ago

    Why did I start Porro over Rejnders who was always going to get at least 2 pts?

    1. jacob1989
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      Good player but he's been really poor this half

  6. jacob1989
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Anthony of burnley has as many pts as Salah this season

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Buy him now? Cheap Salah replacement to get Haaland.

    2. Twisted Saltergater

  10. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Richards 6
    Guehi 5
    Lacroix 2

    That's why I'm playing extra for Lacroix 😎

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

      That's why I'm laying even more for Munoz too

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

      Tell that to the Salah owners.

  11. wiseguy
    1 year, 1 month ago

    So many goals and none of them involving my players. Ah well at least 5 at the back is dead already.

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

      A lot of football still to come mate.

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

    Realistically, it's only 13 pts on BB at this rate ... not great but probably not a disaster?

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I thimk that's fine for a single GW.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      My bench is showing 0 pts from 2 atm. Glad that I didn't BB.

    3. GoonerSteve
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I will be glad to make 10.

  13. Kaneyonero
    1 year, 1 month ago

    C'mon Munoz grab a goal or assist

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Even CS would do...

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

    I'd like to WC my team, but I am very unsure who to get in. Thinking about -4 and TC Haaland as the other possibility.

  15. RICICLE
    1 year, 1 month ago

    So glad I bench boosted Dubravka, Esteve, Diouf & Thiago, excellent form the lads so far ffs

  16. The Philosopher
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I have a very special relation with Salah. Whenever I start the season without him, he starts banging from GW1. Whenever I do, he goes quiet.

    1. Zalk
      1 year, 1 month ago

      The last season he started quietly by Salah's standards was 19/20...if you can call that quiet.

  17. WiredWeasel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    In the half time lull, any views on whether it's worth sticking with Ekitike? He looks like he's playing well, but I can see his minutes reduced to sub appearances with Isak as regular starter. Slot seems to prefer playing one or the other but not both.

    1. Von Lipwig
      1 year, 1 month ago

      One more week, then swap for Gyok

    2. Mr.K
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I think it's too early to conclude that he prefers playing one or the other but not both. With that said, I do think he's becoming less attractive but don't think there's a need to get rid of him asap or anything. I mean, he just scored a goal, so I do think it'd be a bit weird to say "nah, not worth sticking with him at this point!"

  18. Fresh_From_Desh

    Crellin is a genius

    Stach absolutely killing it

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

      It's just a model pick, nothing genius about it. 1G 1A from 0.12 xGI.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        1 year, 1 month ago

        He’s also 3 baps and currently 9 DC

    2. THE Wild Rover
      1 year, 1 month ago

      He’s not the only owner 😉

  19. Pep Roulette
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Munoz to Gabriel next week looks like the perfect move

  20. JBG
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Not sure I can trust NFO assets at home vs Sunderland even...

    1. Pep Roulette
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Another sub around 60 for Wood and he goes out of my team this week itself

    2. Digital-Real
      1 year, 1 month ago

    3. Sun God Nika
      1 year, 1 month ago

      This - luckily ihave 3 fts to use up to get rid off in one swoop

      currently on Donrumma Saliba and Pedro

  21. Mr. O'Connell
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Sels gone from the best keeper in the game last season to the worst this time around

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      He actually was the worst season before.

  22. lilmessipran
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Does this Gudmundsson guy do attacking returns?

    1. Not again Shirley
      1 year, 1 month ago

      He is a cheap defender in fairness

  23. F4L
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Lacroix close 😥

    1. F4L
      1 year, 1 month ago
