Five more matches follow on from Chelsea’s win at Burnley, all of them getting underway at 3pm GMT:

TEAM NEWS

The absence of Antoine Semenyo from the Bournemouth matchday squad is the headline team news from the mid-afternoon matches.

Justin Kluivert, like Semenyo, misses out through injury, while Veljko Milosavljevic and Adam Smith drop to the bench.

Lewis Cook, David Brooks, Bafode Diakite and budget forward Eli Junior Kroupi come into the starting line-up.

Nuno Espirito Santo makes two enforced changes as Lucas Paqueta is suspended and Crysencio Summerville is absent.

Igor Julio and Luis Guilherme get rare starts.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has made five changes to the side beaten 3-0 at the Etihad.

Alisson is back from injury and starts, while Milos Kerkez, Curtis Jones, Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo get recalls.

Conor Bradley and Florian Wirtz are injured, while Giorgi Mamardashvili, Andrew Robertson and Hugo Ekitike have to make do with substitute duty.

Opponents Nottingham Forest are unchanged.

At Molineux, Rob Edwards takes charge of Wolverhampton Wanderers for the first time.

David Moller Wolfe, Emmanuel Agbadou, Marshall Munetsi and Tolu Arokodare benefit from the managerial change by getting recalls.

Santiago Bueno, Hugo Bueno, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Hwang Hee-chan make way.

After missing out in Gameweek 11, Marc Guehi is back from injury to start for Crystal Palace.

Yeremy Pino also returns to the side as Jaydee Canvot and Jefferson Lerma drop to the bench.

At Craven Cottage, Joshua King comes in for the suspended Sasa Lukic for Fulham’s clash with unchanged Sunderland.

Omar Alderete is among the visitors’ substitutes after his recent spell out.

It’s one defensive change apiece at the Amex, as Olivier Boscagli and Kristoffer Ajer are preferred to Lewis Dunk and Aaron Hickey.

    Let's enjoy the next two pages of VVD whining

  2. The Mandalorian
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Liverpool have the worst defence in the last 6 games.

    FPL managers "im still buying VVD"

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Nothing wrong with that 😛

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Let’s add scout pick’s choice of VVD to this

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      What's wrong with that? More DefCon points. Esteve has 120 this season so far from a crap team.

    4. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      We got 1 ft each week. 5 more FT by 4 more gw. Why the fuss?

  3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Can someone tell me when Liverpools good fixture run begins?

    1. adstomko
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      GW39

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Now

  4. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    There goes your Konate vs VVD answer

  5. adstomko
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    If I went Gabriel over VVD on GW4 wildcard, would've been in the top 5k.
    That Liverpool win vs Arsenal really screwed me over.

  6. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Lucky lucky Liverpool

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Where was the handball?

      Strange decision.

      1. TheTinman
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        I don't think it should have been if it wasn't given by Ref. Not clear and obvious

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

          Rules need to be changed.

  7. #1 Arne Engels Fan
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Daylight robbery. How is that a handball?

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 4 days ago

      I've no idea. Mad decision.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Madness

  8. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Callum Wilson, take a bow!

  9. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Come on Gakpo....do something

  10. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Where was the handball there?

  11. F4L
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    its alright vvd will get the winner in the 93rd minute 😉

  12. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Buy Van Dijk they said

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Here we go 😛

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      It was for goals.

      He will score later

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

      Not for clean sheets

      That was obvious enough to anyone who cared to look

      Put me right off Konate

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

    wtf, what handball?

  14. _Greg
    • 16 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Did Liverpool use one of their cheat tokens?

  15. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    It’s Anderson’s world. We’re just living in it.

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Coming on for Semenyo for me 🙂

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        Same, hence the shout out 😉

  16. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Serves Klopp right for benching Ekitike for Isak.

    1. TheTinman
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Slot lol

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

        Slots lot

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Exactly, no wonder he's hiding back in Germany

  17. TheBrazilianRonaldo
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    At least no one has Wilson

    1. adstomko
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Wilson & Fraser, those were the days

  18. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Fulham battering Sunderland. Cue Mukiele last minute winner

  19. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Best way to play this game - dont make any transfers

    1. TheTinman
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Best way to play the game is probably don't bother. They've ruined it with too many chips, too many FT, AFCON mini wildcard etc.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        Still miss the days of All Out Attack and nothing too fancy

  20. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Any sightings of Sarr warming up to come on?

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      how does he evade points?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        Trolls know how...

  21. JBG
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Should've just started Yoro over bringing in the best CB in the PL ever

    1. EWH2020
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      VVD isn't even top 3 of all time

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        Exactly

  22. F4L
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    west ham flying up the table at this rate

    1. adstomko
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Brentford are currently 5th

  23. Mother Farke
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Szoboszla's set pieces have been v dangerous. Isak a fart in a trance.

    1. TheTinman
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      9 touches for Isak

      1. TheTinman
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        Least on the pitch btw. Anonymous

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Unfair on trance facts...

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        *farts

  24. DL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    1) Gabriel --> VVD (rather than O'Reilly) was moronic.

    2) VAR absolutely, indubitably, unequivocally HAS TO GO. Ruining football without making decisions any better.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Just keep it for offside decisions which is not subjective. And goal line technology

  25. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Cant believe i c mateta. His finishing as poor as Darwin

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years

      Nope

  26. g40steve

  27. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Why didn't someone stop me playing truffert ahead of Richards. What a fool....

  28. F4L
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    hasn't been a home goal today yet lol

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

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 10 Years

  30. JBG
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Remember the home and away question that was asked this week?

    Not one home team in the lead so far, lol.
