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.

        • 8 Years
        4 months, 12 days ago

        He actually should be. Time to sell him for Alisson perhaps.

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 12 days ago

          Exactly this

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 12 days ago

    • 9 Years

    Starting to prefer Sun dream team to fpl, at least I can enjoy my midweek Sarr and Reijnders returns.

    With Fpl it’s like somehow negative of your players do well outside of the league 😆

  7. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years
    4 months, 12 days ago

    Reijnders probably a sell now...

  8. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 12 days ago

    GW 13 FH to target Salah against West Ham as well as Villa vs Wolves looks pretty good for a differential team.

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