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. OneTeamInBristol
          • 2 Years
          3 months, 21 days ago

          Yep, ridiculous gameweek so far.

          1. Haa-lala-land
            • 5 Years
            3 months, 21 days ago

            That must be Thiago Captain?

            1. OneTeamInBristol
              • 2 Years
              3 months, 21 days ago

              Captained Haaland.

                • 5 Years
                3 months, 21 days ago

                You should have captained Thiago

  8. Snoop Udogie Dogg
    • 5 Years
    3 months, 21 days ago

    Just for once can Cala haul and not Timber?

  9. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 21 days ago

    Raya might actually get some save points today, with both CB’s missing.

  10. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 21 days ago

    Rutter not even getting 60mins, what's the point of him stealing that assist from Minteh, pffff.

  11. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    3 months, 21 days ago

    Benching Timber for Richards is going to hurt me. Isn't it?

  12. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 21 days ago

    Come on wolves, do the same as Burnley and Leeds and take the cs! Ha

  13. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 21 days ago

    Salah completely rested for midweek or do we see any minutes?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 21 days ago

      Probably comes on soon to ruin the flow of their current attack

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 21 days ago

      No one will have him by then

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 21 days ago

        I dont want him to come on. He is on my FH this week. Reinildo first sub

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 21 days ago

      leading by one seems like the worst time to sub salah on tbf

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 21 days ago

        Agree. But does Slot know this?

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          3 months, 21 days ago

          we'll find out 😀

          honestly chiesa could come on and do the defensive work to shut the game out

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 21 days ago

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 21 days ago

      At least I got free hit out of the way this week and didn’t triple captain Haaland.

      De Cuyper last on my bench sums it up.

  15. JBG
