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.

    Rough: Wirtz injured in warm up

      Verbruggen doesn't replace Wirtz in your team

        Ok, 59 has to be the year you were born.

          Well spotted Columbo (showing my age again)
          I don't understand the post did his first choice keeper not start ??

            The Joke

            🙂 His first sub in sequential order is his keeper.

            Love the self deprecating humour

      Double keeper chip. Genius move.

    Henderson and Raul smashing it for my draft team .Also has Kelleher. I have lost colunt of penalty save points i have got there.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      12 days, 6 mins ago

      Not had a pen save in 10 years

      1. FOREST FOREVER 2
        • 1 Year
        12 days, 3 mins ago

        I actaully can recall very few pen saves. in my main FPL team over the years.
        certainly can recall a few costly pen misses.

  3. BobbyDoesNotLook

    Naturally played Alderete over Richards and Andersen.

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      12 days, 5 mins ago

      Got senesi and Andersen on bench !

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      12 days, 5 mins ago

      This is the way

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        12 days, 4 mins ago

        It is

  4. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    12 days, 6 mins ago

    Munoz playing more defensive now after the subs so he might get 10 defcons

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      12 days, 4 mins ago

      Up to 6 now. And on a bap!

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      12 days, 3 mins ago

      Doubt that.

  5. DeSelby

    Watching both Forest-Liverpool and Palace-Wolves on multiview has led to me reconsidering the choices I've made in my life.

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      12 days, 3 mins ago

      Only 1 game with goals !

  6. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    VVD get those defcons please!

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 days, 5 mins ago

      Salah C if you want to contribute also that would be great

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        12 days, 5 mins ago

        Contributing smiles from the bench

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          12 days, 4 mins ago

          Excellent

  7. F4L
    • 11 Years
    12 days, 6 mins ago

    have just to cross all fingers wirtz is fit enough to be starting next match

  8. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    12 days, 5 mins ago

    Will Forest ever score a PL goal again?

  9. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    12 days, 5 mins ago

    Salah and Gakpo subbed off

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 days, 5 mins ago

      Knew I should have captained Bruno

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      12 days, 4 mins ago

      I definitely won’t be bringing in Salah. He looked slow and off it today, and Liverpool play boring defensive football.

    3. Moon Dog
        12 days, 2 mins ago

        0 shots from 14.0m Salah. End of an era.

        1. keefy59
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          11 days, 23 hours ago

          He's not scored in FPL since gameweek 10
          But "he's got great fixtures" as the content creators say
          Plus he's a devout Muslim & may now be fasting for Ramadan
          Which could affect his performance .

    4. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      12 days, 5 mins ago

      As a Wirtz owner with Mane 1st sub... It's been very frustrating

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        12 days, 4 mins ago

        *hugs*

      2. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        12 days, 2 mins ago

        I also wanted Palace to concede. Richards first on bench, no Munoz.

    5. F4L
      • 11 Years
      12 days, 4 mins ago

      ballard wins pen

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        12 days, 4 mins ago

        *argh very poor defending from fulham

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        12 days, 3 mins ago

        Alderete to take?

      3. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        12 days, 2 mins ago

        Seriously?! Is it Le Fee?

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          12 days, 2 mins ago

          yes

        2. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          12 days, 1 min ago

          Yep and scored

    6. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      12 days, 4 mins ago

      Seize the day!

      By watching these awful games

    7. JBG
      • 7 Years
      12 days, 3 mins ago

      Salah is so back

    8. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      12 days, 2 mins ago

      Le Fee scores the pen

      No Panenka

    9. F4L
      • 11 Years
      12 days, 2 mins ago

      le fee g
      ballard a

    10. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      12 days, 1 min ago

      Richards head injury. No bueno.

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        12 days, 1 min ago

        Looks bad. I think he’s coming off.

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          12 days ago

          Wow

        2. tutankamun
          • 16 Years
          11 days, 23 hours ago

          Clean sheet intact

    11. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      12 days, 1 min ago

      Why the hell did I start Alderete over Timber?

    12. dansmusen
      • 8 Years
      12 days, 1 min ago

      ENZOOOOOOOO

    13. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      12 days ago

      These scoreless draws (atm) feel like losses for Forest and Wolves

      The matches were in their hands earlier

      1. GREEN JUMPERS
        • 5 Years
        11 days, 23 hours ago

        A point against Liverpool will always be a good point. If it holds..

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 days, 23 hours ago

          Liverpool will feel a draw is a fair result Forest will feel its points dropped based on performance

    14. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      12 days ago

      Bad head knocks in Palace / Wolves game. Beuno and Richards down.

    15. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      12 days ago

      I'm not even sure I want pool attack cover in my team. So unreliable

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        11 days, 23 hours ago

        Assess when Wirtz plays

    16. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 days, 23 hours ago

      Good weekend for United if they manage to get a win tomorrow

      1. Ignasi M
        • 8 Years
        11 days, 23 hours ago

        In hindsight, Amorim did an exceptional job to set up a foundation and points tally for Carrick.

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 days, 23 hours ago

        Everton will have 11 men this time do 😉

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 days, 23 hours ago

          Hopefully! United played better against them when they had XI on the field 🙂

    17. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      11 days, 23 hours ago

      Richards is still down

      1. tutankamun
        • 16 Years
        11 days, 23 hours ago

        Playing on

    18. WVA
      • 9 Years
      11 days, 23 hours ago

      Szoboszlai price rise last night means I can’t do Enzo to him for free!

    19. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      11 days, 23 hours ago

      Spurs and Arsenal is going to be 0-0 too isn’t it?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        11 days, 23 hours ago

        I think arsenal will win comfortably

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 6 Years
          11 days, 23 hours ago

          You sure? I dunno. They couldn’t beat Brentford and Wolves. And Spurs have new manager bounce who plays defensive football.

          1. Ignasi M
            • 8 Years
            11 days, 23 hours ago

            and Brentford and wolves should have beaten Arsenal.

        2. Ignasi M
          • 8 Years
          11 days, 23 hours ago

          How do you have some much confidence??? Arsenal will go a goal up, yes, but then spurs will pull one back and Arsenal will crumble. This is a Spurs win for me, and I'm a (broken) Gooner.

      2. tutankamun
        • 16 Years
        11 days, 23 hours ago

        Hope so. I played Raya over Henderson

      3. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 days, 23 hours ago

        1-1

      4. JBG
        • 7 Years
        11 days, 23 hours ago

        You think so? When Spurs have A.Gray, Dragusin and Spence atb?

        1. Ignasi M
          • 8 Years
          11 days, 23 hours ago

          doesn't matter. It's a NLD. Spurs will play out of their skin with the crowd behind them. remember, they NEED to win to avoid relegation.

    20. FOREST FOREVER 2
      • 1 Year
      11 days, 23 hours ago

      Sarr and larsen leading the CP defCon pointsi s kind of funny.
