There are three Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 GMT on Sunday.

TEAM NEWS

There are two alterations for Liverpool from the team that beat Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup.

Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike come into the side as Curtis Jones and Federico Chiesa drop to the bench.

Vitor Pereira’s Nottingham Forest are unsurprisingly unchanged from their 3-0 win over Fenerbahce in midweek.

At Selhurst Park, there are four changes to the Crystal Palace XI from Thursday: Jaydee Canvot, Tyrick Mitchell, Will Hughes and Yeremy Pino in for the injured Maxence Lacroix and benched Borna Sosa, Daichi Kamada and Brennan Johnson.

As for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Tolu Arokodare comes in for Angel Gomes.

There is just one change from Sunderland’s last Premier League XI.

Jocelin replaces the injured Reinildo Mandava, with Trai Hume consequently moving to left-back.

Granit Xhaka is named on the bench on his return from injury.

There is only one alteration for the visitors compared to Gameweek 26, too.

Samuel Chukwueze is injured, with Kevin taking his place on the left flank.

*Florian Wirtz has been injured in the warm-up for Liverpool. Curtis Jones comes in.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  18. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Why doesn’t Raul haul rhyme? Feels like it should.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Ra- ul holl pronounced

  19. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Mukiele owners reunite.

  20. FOREST FOREVER 2
    • 1 Year
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Only one goal in 3 mathces. I think EPL is losing it's mojo.
    Football without goals is just like Love without ..........

  21. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Why cant my gk ever save a penalty?

  22. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Can LIV score again? Blimey ...

  23. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    I'm on for a Gw rank of 10m at this rate

  24. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Need Sunderland to score?

    Any chance?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      good chance, should've scored already this half

  25. KeanosMagic
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Oh p*ss off Roefs. Got to go now

    1. PartyTime
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Roefs has been struggling to impress of late. Heck!

  26. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Defcon pts should have no limit ffs. Anderson on 18 defcons should get an extra bonus

  27. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Benching the Andersons never ends well.

  28. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Got 1 defender in these 3 games.

    And of course it's a Sunderland defender

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Haha same

  29. Rwilliams90
    • 14 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    Been a decent day for me so far. Van Hecke off the bench for Wirtz. Own Raul and Andersen.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      nicely done. My first bad gameweek in a while so must resist knee jerking

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Probably should have stayed quiet

  30. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 24 days ago

    I absolutely loathe Ektike. This trashman is continuing the trend of doing f all when I play him and hauling if I dare bench him.

    1. Drizzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      4 months, 24 days ago

      Apparently he's world class
