Three Premier League matches kick off at 14:05 GMT this afternoon, with Liverpool and Aston Villa among the teams in action.

TEAM NEWS

Unai Emery makes just one change to the team that beat Leeds United last week; however, it is a significant one as Donyell Malen ousts Ollie Watkins from the starting XI.

There are three changes to the Wolverhampton Wanderers line-up: Yerson Mosquera, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Jhon Arias in for Ladislav Krejci, Marshall Munetsi and Tolu Arokodare.

At the City Ground, Morgan Gibbs-White is fit to start, having been sidelined during Thursday’s Europa League victory against Malmo due to a back injury.

However, Murillo is not available, with Morato taking his place at the back.

As for Brighton and Hove Albion, Olivier Boscagli and Carlos Baleba drop to the bench. Lewis Dunk and Maxim De Cuyper replace them.

Down in London, Arne Slot has made two changes to the side beaten 3-0 by Nottingham Forest.

Florian Wirtz comes in for Mohamed Salah, while Joe Gomez replaces Curtis Jones at right-back.

Up top, Hugo Ekitike is only fit enough for a place on the bench, with Alexander Isak leading the line.

West Ham United have made three alterations. Konstantinos Mavropanos replaces the benched Max Kilman in defence. Additionally, Soungoutou Mangassa and Lucas Paqueta start in place of Igor Julio and Crysensio Summerville.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Yeah goals galore atm.

  2. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years

    Why could it not have been Danny 🙁

  3. Atimis
    • 9 Years

    Sarr to Minteh a no brainier?

    1. FPL Sanky
      • 2 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Yeah that's what I am thinking as well if Sarr is out long term

  4. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    For anyone who watched the game, what happened to Sarr? Anything serious.
    Good for midweek or not?

    Cheers.

      Id bet he gets the game off

    Slots plan has managed to keep the ball away from Szoboszlai

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

      Slot has a plan? That's not "continue Klopps work"?

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Two plans so far:
        - pass to Salah so he can cut inside on his left foot.
        - pass to Gapko so he can cut inside on his right foot.

  6. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Lucky sarr owners can now sell for Foden without thinking

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Such a joke that Larsen goal being disallowed, it was top bins, no chance he was saving it if he was stood in the corner

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      He was right in front of him and also would have stopped the dive

      Nevermind the view of the ball

      At least you are not in charge of VAR!

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        It’s entertainment, anything that leads to more goals is better. Sometimes the player can’t physically get out of the way in time, if they don’t touch it then all good imo.

        FFS it’s how Kevin Nolan used to score 90% of his goals by literally standing on the keeper, now you can’t even accidentally impair their line of sight 😆

    Not sure who runs Live Score but they got the wrong assister and haven’t fixed it yet.

    @OfficialFPL

    Goal - DE CUYPER
    Assist - RUTTER

    Nottingham Forest 0-1 Brighton (45+1 mins)

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        SofaScore accurate

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Minteh getting so many assists they’ve just been told by management to save time and just assume it’s him without checking

    3. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Flashscore did the same... hence my reaction on previous page

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      it was a rutter assist no?

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        *my bad didnt read the post properly

      2. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Yup, Rutter

        1. Atimis

          4 months, 7 days ago

      2. Haa-lala-land
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        I take it Sarr - Minteh is no longer your no brainer then..

  11. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Villa one of the most boring teams to watch... absolutely painful.

  12. Bobby Digital

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

  16. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Bowen looks so average these days, he used to look so sharp and influential for West Ham but not seeing it this season.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years

      Birds of a feather
