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.

    Minteh absolutely woeful

  6. Els365
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    F.O.M.O derails most fpl plans. Bought Semenyo when he was flying high, since then he has only given 1 attacking return and have never been a fan. Time to look for spare change and get in someone maybe Cunha as a differential or Mbeumo as cant get to Bruno again

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      Ya I really want rid, but his ownership and price rises make it tricky

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        Especially with West Ham up next

  7. The Bandit

      Every week I’m watching these two almost combine for a goal

  8. Sgt. Schultz

    Wolt finally

    1. AC/DC AFC

  10. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    Sarr and Mateta with a fine bit of points dodging.

  11. Freshy

    Guéhi news?

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years

      Off to Pool in January

    2. FPL Blow-In

      Bruised bone on his foot and likely to kiss the IB

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        *miss

  12. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    Watching the only goalless game !

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      def goals in the 2nd Half

  13. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    None of the players who scored so far have even got 0.1% ownership in the top 200k

  14. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    Hows Thiago looking? Brought him in but not fully convinced

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      Why did you bring him in then?

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        Had no other better option to replace Gyok. Could have gone Kroupi but not sure he is nailed. He is to rotate with a playing midfield.

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          4 months, 20 days ago

          I also went Thiago. If I watched him I wouldn't be convinced but in the end he'll get 15-18 goals in the PL so just best to pick him and leave it

          1. ZeBestee
            • 11 Years
            4 months, 20 days ago

            You think so? 15-18 goals is a bit far fetched, but I will be glad if he does that.

            1. Qaiss
              • 10 Years
              4 months, 20 days ago

              Because he’s on penalties. He’s already on 6 after 10 games

            2. Qaiss
              • 10 Years
              4 months, 20 days ago

      2. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        I brought him in so I could afford Reijnders to Mbeumo

  15. 1zverGGadeM
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    Semenyo playing RW barelly touches the ball

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      I’m so tempted by Semenyo + Kudus > Sarr + Rogers next GW.

      But scary though

      1. 1zverGGadeM
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        good fixtures for Semenyo in the next 3-4 GW, so maybe not now

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 20 days ago

          True, can’t do it really. All risk little reward

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      Quite ineffective

  16. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    wtf newcastle as a team with 38 clearances already jeez

  17. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    Jesus Dan Burn already hit the defcons

  18. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    palace's attack needs pino in, why didnt he start? much more dynamic than kamada

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      The gaffer saving Pino to come off the bench for impact later, said hes played a lot of minutes since he arrived.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        cheers, fair enough

  19. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    Opta struggling with multiview?

    Just kidding

    They have a man

    Or women in the stands

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      Person in the stands.

      Chairperson.
      Snowperson.

  20. el polako
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    Sarr & Mateta ownership is true rollercoaster.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      They get loads of chances, much better than if they only had 1 shot each per game

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        Definitely not boring.
        Frustrating some times and exciting others but never boring

  21. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    Season over.. 18 points

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      I'm on 16. Win some and lose some

    2. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      14 here

    3. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years

      21 😎

    4. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      Good week to have bad week?

    5. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      34

  22. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    This gw is an absolutely joke. Mateta and Sarr all the chances in the world and can't score. It's cursed I tell ya.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      Scripted

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      The game was rigged from the start…

    3. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      It’s all one big conspiracy

  23. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    Where points?

  24. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    impressed with gomez at brighton, havent seen much of him. he expected to continue being a starter?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      He has done well when given an opportunity. Hard to say

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        cheers, yeah for sure. he definitely knows where the goal is given his form in cups as well. cheap as chips, tempting if he does continue starting

    2. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 20 days ago

      Mitoma Minteh Welbeck pretty much nailed when fit. Can he take Rutter's spot? I wouldn't bet on it, though he could definitely get the occasional start.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        cheers. ah mitoma of course, maybe just too much competition then

  25. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    How come Woltemade has an assist from a xA of 0.0 ?? Can any stat nerd help explain this?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      The ball was kicked off him and fell to another player

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      I still haven’t looked into how xA and xG work. Aren’t they all just made up eyeball numbers as much as anything?

  26. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    Pretty shocking first half points wise..jeez.

  27. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    ScRiPtEd

  28. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    Mateta hattrick and Sarr brace all assisted by Munoz in the second half too much to ask for? C'mon FPL Gods give me something!

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      Welbeck brace and Munoz assists to Lerma (however many they like) would be better for me thanks

      1. Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        Lmao

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      Sarr subbed off - muscle tightness.
      Mateta missed penalty.
      Goal for Brighton Huston Munoz’s CS.

      That’s more likely.

  29. FPL Blow-In

      No Reijnders, disaster 😆

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        Senesi off the bench, but Reijnders will probably make an appearance.

      2. el polako
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        He’s not a 2nd coming of Zizou after all.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      wow has pep really gone with foden and cherki in a fixture like this. huge balls, love to see it. going for the win

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 20 days ago

      Where’s Reijnders? He was electric midweek…

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 20 days ago

        Seen hanging around with Santi Cazorla

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 20 days ago

          Oh well bench jam yet again!

  30. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 20 days ago

    Gakpo starts Reijnders benched
