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.

    That would be a very undeserved win from Liverpool anyway. Hard to believe they are the “title defenders”

  2. F4L

    ekitike is on 10 bps, easy 3 bonus if he scored that. shocking

    1. Biggsy

      12 days, 30 mins ago

      Only 4 more defcons for 2 points though!

      Can't wait to transfer out his lazy a....

    lol as much as I’m delighted that was disallowed, it’s a joke decision. Arms tucked in to his sides, back turned and booted off him lol

      It’s not a joke it’s the law of football that you can’t score off your arm

      Read the rules

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

        Touchy

    Got to love this game. Used 2 FTs to bring in Thiago and benched Wilson as a result. Hill was the downgrade on my bench.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      12 days, 33 mins ago

      Sold Wilson for Semenyo, was always going to happen

    2. keefy59

      Wilson first on my bench
      Wouldn't mind a Timber injury in the warm up

      1. JoeSoap
        • 12 Years
        12 days, 28 mins ago

        I sold Timber so he will probably score

        1. Ignasi M
          • 8 Years
          12 days, 27 mins ago

          Surprised he's starting tbh. He's been poor for about a month now, so no I can't see him score. Maybe an own goal.

  5. WVA

      • 11 Years
      12 days, 33 mins ago
