Following on from a dramatic finish in north London, we’ve got two more Premier League matches at 3pm GMT.

It’s not a stellar line-up: it’s 14th v 15th at the Hill Dickinson Stadium and 18th v 17th at the London Stadium.

TEAM NEWS

Changes are few and far between this afternoon but there are a few notable tweaks.

It’s one alteration apiece on Merseyside.

David Moyes makes his first real significant unenforced change since August, with Jake O’Brien losing his ever-present starting record and dropping to the bench.

Tim Iroegbunam comes into the side, so we’ll presumably see James Garner move to right-back.

Thierno Barry gets a chance to make amends for Monday’s horror miss and is again preferred to Beto in attack.

Iliman Ndiaye was passed fit by Moyes yesterday and starts as expected.

Marco Silva’s only alteration is a recall for Sasa Lukic.

Joshua King drops to the bench.

West Ham United, unsurprisingly, are unchanged following their excellent win over Newcastle United last Sunday.

There is one difference from Burnley’s last starting XI: Loum Tchaouna comes in for Josh Laurent. That will likely see the Clarets revert to a back four.

Lyle Foster is on the bench after recovering from illness.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Garner, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Iroegbunam, Gueye, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Barry.

    Not watching the game. Any chance of a gift from Grealish before I get rid this week

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      His stats ain’t great for this match this far.

    2. Wayne Enterprises
      • 13 Years

      I sold for a punt on Merino this week..

  2. Ask Yourself
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Watching that first half has made selling Ndiaye easy at least

  3. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Should've played Roefs over Dubs...

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Roefs will probably concede.

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Captain hindsight…

        1. Gazwaz80
          • 6 Years
          7 months, 27 days ago

          Not you Panda 😀

        2. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          7 months, 27 days ago

          Trying to reverse jinx it 😛

          1. Gazwaz80
            • 6 Years
            7 months, 27 days ago

            Haha

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Indeed but thought Dubs gas better shot at save points..

        1. Gazwaz80
          • 6 Years
          7 months, 27 days ago

          Yep, I did the same…

  4. Khalico
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Would you keep Gakpo or move to Szobo - intend to keep at least a Pool mid for long term. At least Szobo is a 90 min man and on set pieces.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Lottery. That midfield right now. I currently have Gakpo but Wirtz played really well in that position in CL.

      1. Moon Dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Same. I'm hoping Gakpo is used for the Premier League for his physicality and Wirtz in Champion's League. But I'm clutching 😆

  5. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Flemming flying under the radar?

  6. All Hail K
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Brought in Jaidon Anthony a few weeks ago because of his points but never really watched him play until today. Is that guy ever lazy!

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    King on

    1. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Prince gone…

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Queen ready

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Gordon? 🙂

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Ledley?

  8. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Who's the best keeper to get over the longer term (outwith Raya). I've got up to 5.9M to spend on a Vicario replacement and I'm really struggling to decide who to go for.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Roefs or Pope

    2. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Petrovic/Dubra

  9. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    My Saturday night depends on Saka(C)

  10. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Barry. Again.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Can we send him home? 😛

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      From Eastenders?

  11. The Bandit

    7 months, 27 days ago

    Sunderland XI: Roefs; Hume, Mukiele, Ballard, Geertruida, Reinildo; Xhaka, Sadiki, Traore, Le Fee; Isidor.
    Subs: Patterson, Neil, Talbi, Brobbey, Rigg, Mayenda, O'Nien, Adingra, Masuaku

    Barry injures himself. Perfect.

  13. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    How much did Barry cost? 17 million lbs.?

  14. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    It was £27.5m

    WTF

  15. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Enjoying Tarkowski’s 5 pointer while I can

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Same!

  16. Effe
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Got Anthony on my bench boost hope he doesn’t get subbed off

  17. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Early transfer thoughts (1FT + 2.7itb)...
    0.1 short from not taking the hit

    OUT: Anthony + Porro
    IN: Mbeumo + Konate (-4 hit)

    Raya,
    Gabriel, Lacroix, Senesi
    Saka, Semenyo, Sarr, Anthony
    Haaland, Mateta, Thiago

    (Dubravka, Reinjders, Porro, Gudmundsson)

  18. SINGH
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Isidor or Thiago post international break?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Thiago better fixtures

    2. Effe
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Thiago

  19. JBG
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    9 shots, 1 on target... Dubravka won't get 3 saves even if they played until next year

  20. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    What did Barry do to nanxun? This is starting to feel personal.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      😆

    2. nanxun
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      I'm a Toffees fan, even through all of the crises.

      Was never a fan of DCL or Beto and now this guy. Why can't we get a proper 9??

      1. Moon Dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Moyes said in the summer that they can't afford a top one.

        Just look at the prices of Isak, Gyokores, Sesko, Wissa, and Woltemade...

        1. nanxun
          • 4 Years
          7 months, 27 days ago

          As I said in another comment, why not Wilson or Welbeck or someone closer to the end of their career. Just for a bit? while looking longer and closer for a younger prospect?

  21. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Barry has neither touch, nor body control. A bit sad.

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      27 millions worth of rubbishness.

  22. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    fulham are one of the least watchable teams

    no attacking flair no creativity

    useless players like iwobi

  23. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Soucek G

    1. Effe

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Been playing Anti FPL these last 3 weeks. Smashing it.

  25. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Perfect goal as a Dubravka and Bowen owner

  26. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Ah ok, just realise it was a saved shot anyway

  27. nanxun
    • 4 Years

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

  28. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Paqueta or Bowen assist, will take either 😆

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

      1. fusen
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Paq has a cross come shot, saved by Dub and knocked in by Soucek
