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.

      5. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 days, 9 hours ago

      7. FOREST FOREVER 2
        • 1 Year
        4 days, 9 hours ago

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

      8. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        4 days, 9 hours ago

        Why cant my gk ever save a penalty?

      9. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 days, 9 hours ago

        Can LIV score again? Blimey ...

      10. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 days, 9 hours ago

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

      11. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        4 days, 9 hours ago

        Need Sunderland to score?

        Any chance?

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          good chance, should've scored already this half

      12. KeanosMagic
        • 4 Years
        4 days, 9 hours ago

        Oh p*ss off Roefs. Got to go now

        1. PartyTime
          • 4 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Roefs has been struggling to impress of late. Heck!

      13. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        4 days, 9 hours ago

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

      14. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        4 days, 9 hours ago

        Benching the Andersons never ends well.

      15. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        4 days, 9 hours ago

        Got 1 defender in these 3 games.

        And of course it's a Sunderland defender

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Haha same

      16. Rwilliams90
        • 14 Years
        4 days, 9 hours 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
          • 16 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

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

        2. WVA
          • 9 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Probably should have stayed quiet

      17. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        4 days, 9 hours 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 days, 9 hours ago

          Apparently he's world class
