There are four Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 GMT on Sunday.

TEAM NEWS

Unai Emery makes six changes to the side that started the 2-0 Europa League win over Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Matty Cash, Lucas Digne, Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn, Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins all return, ousting Victor Lindelof, Ian Maatsen, Lamare Bogarde, Evann Guessand, Jadon Sancho and Donyell Malen from the starting XI.

There are four changes to the Bournemouth line-up: Adam Smith, Veljko Milosavljevic, Justin Kluivert and Evanilson in for Alex Jimenez, Bafode Diakite, David Brooks and Eli Kroupi.

The only alteration from Brentford manager Keith Andrews sees Aaron Hickey start. Kristoffer Ajer makes way.

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has had his hand forced with his only change due to the injury sustained by Anthony Gordon. Jacob Murphy comes in.

Down in south London, Marc Guehi is absent, while Will Hughes and Yeremy Pino drop to the bench. Jaydee Canvot, Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada replace them.

Ismaila Sarr is fit to start.

Brighton and Hove Albion are unsurprisingly unchanged from the team that beat Leeds United last time out.

Finally, at the City Ground, Sean Dyche has made two changes from the 2-2 draw with Manchester United. Ibrahim Sangare and Nicolas Dominguez come in, with Douglas Luiz and Callum Hudson-Odoi both absent.

Leeds have also made two alterations. Anton Stach replaces the benched Ao Tanaka in central midfield, while Lukas Nmecha starts up top, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin only fit enough for a place on the bench.

    FPL Harry said the Guehi injury was buried in the notes from Friday's presser ... How did Scout miss this? Are they not watching the press conferences in full?

    1. Waynoo
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 12 days ago

      Strange

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 12 days ago

      Apparently Guehi can not walk and is not called up for England

    3. NoOneCares
        4 months, 12 days ago

        Such a whiny little annoying beitch.

        It happened at the very end of the Conference League fixture .
        All subs had been used so didn't come off

      • The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 12 days ago

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          4 months, 12 days ago

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 12 days ago

          He's been one of my best players these last few weeks.
          The rest of my team is trash.

    5. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 12 days ago

          4 months, 12 days ago

          Nahh, was close though. Went Pedro in the end. Was switching between Mateta, Saka, Pedro and Haaland all week.

    6. NABIL - FPL otai

      Points prediction for our Palace players?
      Munoz - 11 points
      Sarr - 10 points
      Mateta - 6 points

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 12 days ago

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 12 days ago

      2. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 12 days ago

        Mateta -> Flemming locked.

    9. EWH2020
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 12 days ago

      Senesi on 3 DEFCON after 5 mins.

      On course for 54 DEFCON points

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        4 months, 12 days ago

        10 will do

    10. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 12 days ago

      Three managers in a season and it's early November

      That's somewhat careless

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 12 days ago

        Southampton had 5 different managers in the last year, before yesterday they had managed only 3 wins between them.

    11. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 12 days ago

      Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi suffered bruising of the bone in his foot against Alkmaar on Thursday. Underwent scans on Friday. Very likely to miss England’s games versus Serbia and Albania.

    20. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 12 days ago

      Mateta and Sarr owners should be on about 20 points.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 12 days ago

        Yes Please

    21. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      4 months, 12 days ago

      I’d be terrified watching Sarr and Mateta if I didn’t own them. It’s coming.

      3. Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 12 days ago

    22. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 12 days ago

      I definitely think there should be attacking contributions. Crosses, SoT and assisting the assister (including dummies too).

    23. Effe
      • 15 Years
      4 months, 12 days ago

      Guehi being out is so annoying as I’ve bench boosted this week 🙁
