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.

    At least Minteh over Gakpo was right

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 25 days ago

      yes exactly:)

    2. Moon Dog
        4 months, 25 days ago

        I thought about moving to Gakpo to Minteh but the Wirtz and Bradley injuries changed my mind.

        Ah well, part of this crazy game.

      First time palace def owner!
      Welcome Munoz, it was him or timber, didn’t fancy the popular vvd

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 25 days ago

        Already had Richards, Sarr and Mateta. Didn't want Timber because of White stealing minutes.. so went with the twerker.

      2. RICICLE

        Munoz offers a wild ride!

    7. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 25 days ago

      Bowen on 11 DC’s, 1 more and he becomes the first ST to hit 12 DC’s

    8. Eightball

      Every decision this week has gone wrong. Was going to do Gabriel and Semenyo to Munoz and Mbuemo. Instead did Gabriel and Enzo to Richards and Mbuemo. Enzo and Munoz Haul, Semenyo doesn't even start. To top it off I changed my first sub from Mukiele to Woltemade.

      I love FPL.....

    12. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 25 days ago

      Im the worst f player, not only kept Semenyo instead of going Semenyo Eze to Saka Minteh, but also done Eze to Gakpo (instead of Neto, or anyone else)…

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 25 days ago

        It's mostly luck

    14. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      4 months, 25 days ago

      My two options to replace Woltemade was Thiago & Welbeck.

      In the end i chose neither because i had a sneaky feeling Wolt could do something against City. I reckon I may have got this wrong .
