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
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 28 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
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 28 days ago

      Nothing wrong with that 😛

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 28 days ago

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

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 28 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
      4 months, 28 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
    4 months, 28 days ago

    Can someone tell me when Liverpools good fixture run begins?

    1. adstomko
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 28 days ago

      GW39

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 28 days ago

      Now

  4. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 28 days ago

    There goes your Konate vs VVD answer

  5. adstomko
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 28 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
    • 10 Years
    4 months, 28 days ago

    Lucky lucky Liverpool

    1. Moon Dog
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Where was the handball?

        Strange decision.

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          4 months, 28 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
            4 months, 28 days ago

            Rules need to be changed.

    2. #1 Salah Hater
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 28 days ago

      Daylight robbery. How is that a handball?

      1. Moon Dog
          4 months, 28 days ago

          I've no idea. Mad decision.

        • Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Madness

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Callum Wilson, take a bow!

      3. FPL Sanky
        • 2 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Come on Gakpo....do something

      4. Feloh
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Where was the handball there?

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

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

      6. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Buy Van Dijk they said

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Here we go 😛

        2. Gubby-Allen
          • 4 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          It was for goals.

          He will score later

        3. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Not for clean sheets

          That was obvious enough to anyone who cared to look

          Put me right off Konate

      7. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        wtf, what handball?

      8. _Greg
        • 16 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Did Liverpool use one of their cheat tokens?

      9. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

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

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Coming on for Semenyo for me 🙂

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 12 Years
            4 months, 28 days ago

            Same, hence the shout out 😉

      10. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Serves Klopp right for benching Ekitike for Isak.

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Slot lol

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 months, 28 days ago

            Slots lot

        2. JBG
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Exactly, no wonder he's hiding back in Germany

      11. TheBrazilianRonaldo
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        At least no one has Wilson

        1. adstomko
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          Wilson & Fraser, those were the days

      12. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Fulham battering Sunderland. Cue Mukiele last minute winner

      13. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Best way to play this game - dont make any transfers

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          4 months, 28 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
            • 9 Years
            4 months, 28 days ago

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

      14. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

        Any sightings of Sarr warming up to come on?

        1. Sgt. Schultz
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          how does he evade points?

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            4 months, 28 days ago

            Trolls know how...

      15. JBG
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

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

        1. EWH2020
          • 12 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

          VVD isn't even top 3 of all time

          1. JBG
            • 7 Years
            4 months, 28 days ago

            Exactly

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

            • 10 Years
            4 months, 28 days ago

          Unfair on trance facts...

        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
          4 months, 28 days ago

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

      19. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

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

        • 11 Years
        4 months, 28 days ago

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

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

          • 9 Years
          4 months, 28 days ago

        4 months, 28 days ago

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