Erling Haaland carries the weight of 700k+ Triple Captainers’ expectations on his shoulders as Gameweek 6 continues with four more matches:

TEAM NEWS

With fears around a back injury eased on Friday, there’s no surprise that Haaland starts for Manchester City this afternoon.

Pep Guardiola does make some alterations from Gameweek 5, two of which are enforced as Abdudokir Khusanov is injured and Rodri is “not fully fit”.

Bernardo Silva also drops to the bench as Matheus Nunes, Savinho and Nico Rodriguez get Premier League starts.

Burnley boss Scott Parker reverts to last weekend’s starting XI after making wholesale changes for the Carabao Cup defeat by Cardiff City.

Man City old boy Kyle Walker makes a return to the Etihad.

Down in south London, Alexander Isak gets his first league start of the season.

He’s one of two changes from the Merseyside derby as Florian Wirtz also returns. Cody Gakpo drops to the bench, while Hugo Ekitike is suspended.

Oliver Glasner’s one change from last Saturday sees Ismaila Sarr return from injury to take the place of Will Hughes.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has had his hand forced with his two Gameweek-to-Gameweek changes, due to injuries sustained by Cole Palmer and Wesley Fofana.

Andrey Santos and Jorrel Hato come in.

Diego Gomez, who scored four goals in midweek, ousts Brajan Gruda from the Brighton and Hove Albion side.

Finally, at Elland Road, unchanged Leeds United take on a Bournemouth side showing three alterations from the 0-0 draw with Newcastle United.

Ryan Christie, Justin Kluivert and Amine Adli all come in, with David Brooks, Marcus Tavernier and Alex Scott dropping to the bench.

  13. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Salah actually doing everything in his power to prevent a goal.

  14. F4L
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

  15. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Lucky Liverpool VAR, hits his hand

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Why should they give that? Pool needs a draw..

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      It doesn't change the flight of the ball

  16. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    We need more overtime for that hattie

  17. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Munoz CS wipe is frustrating

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years

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

      Glad, that Lacroix 8 pointer on my bench was painful to look at. Chiesa is something else this season, now he is getting a chance.

  18. Tomerick
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Just dropped by to mention that I triple captained Haaland. Now I need to go and change.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      1. Tomerick
        • 11 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

    2. Fifa las vegas

  19. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    I have Sarr Estève and de cuyper on bench. Guess which one will come on if Porro doesn't start.... FFS...

  20. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Salah knows he touched that.

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

    I mean... if you didnt cap the best player in the league against the worst defense in the league, what are you even doing?

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

      if you didnt Triple Cap**

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years

  27. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Again a funny in-game outcome of VAR protocol. Inconclusive evidence, main ref not even sent to the screen.

  28. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Did that Richards clearance came off Gakpo by any chance before falling to Chiesa?

  29. Sun God Nika
    • 5 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Wow didn’t expect that
