Three more Premier League matches follow on from Bournemouth’s clash with Sunderland.

Liverpool are among the sides in action at 3pm GMT:

Kelleher out

TEAM NEWS

There are no shocks with the Reds’ starting XI, with the only change seeing Joe Gomez come in for Curtis Jones.

As a result of that alteration, Dominik Szoboszlai, who started at right-back in Gameweek 27 before moving into midfield later in the game, will be back in the middle of the park.

Jeremie Frimpong is among the substitutes after recovering from injury but, as expected, there is no Florian Wirtz in the squad. Arne Slot all but ruled him out on Friday.

Visitors West Ham United are unchanged.

There is a surprise omission from the Brentford teamsheet this afternoon as Caoimhin Kelleher misses out. There’s no injury: his partner has given birth.

Hakon Valdimarsson deputises between the posts, while Michael Kayode returns from injury in defence and Kevin Schade is back in the starting XI.

Mikkel Damsgaard and Yehor Yarmoliuk also get recalls as Aaron Hickey and Vitaly Janelt miss out through injury and Jordan Henderson and Keane Lewis-Potter drop to the bench.

Lucas Pires, James Ward-Prowse and Jacob Bruun Larsen start for Burnley as Lesley Ugochukwu and Kyle Walker are demoted to substitute duty. Marcus Edwards is absent.

Finally, on Tyneside, Eddie Howe welcomes back most of his regulars after rotating against Qarabag in midweek.

Compared to Gameweek 27, there is just one change: Joelinton in for Joe Willock.

David Moyes has been unusually busy, handing recalls to Dwight McNeil, Jake O’Brien, Vitalii Mykolenko and Beto.

Michael Keane, Harrison Armstrong, Tim Iroegbunam and Thierno Barry drop to the bench.

        That Andy LetsTalkFPL guy on TT, he’s got some mental issues?
        I saw like dozens of his posts how he went Bruno (c) over Haaland but maybe shouldn’t have maybe should have etc etc

        1. z13
            1 month, 15 days ago

            Basically he's 769th in the world and someone was copying him. So he showed his choice Dango/Wilson with 16 seconds to go, and he went Wilson and the copycat went Dango. So in the mess he accidentally captained Bruno

            1. Baps Hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              1 month, 15 days ago

              Surprisingly he has only one copycat.

          • Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            1 month, 15 days ago

            What's TT ?

            Trick to get viewers. He doesn't have a system for his decisions. Nothing to worry about 😉

            1. z13
                1 month, 15 days ago

                Let's be real he's in the top 1k

                  1 month, 15 days ago

                  Well done considering he has 400k followers who all could have copied him.

          • Count of Monte Hristo
            • 12 Years
            1 month, 15 days ago

            Ekitike worth buying or too inconsistent and expensive?

            1. Atimis
              • 9 Years
              1 month, 15 days ago

              Best striker along Pedro

                Anyone remember the last 3pm thrillers? Not like this since before this year, although GW13 was quite good

                1 month, 15 days ago

                Would be a 14 pointer as captain.

            5. JBG
              • 7 Years
              1 month, 15 days ago

              I wonder if the content cucks got noticed about Haaland injury or whatever it was, right before deadline. Considering so many of them where on Haaland C before that.

            6. FPLCEO
              • 16 Years
              1 month, 15 days ago

              Well that was very fortunate. Was planning to do Eki to Thiago but went Enzo to Schade instead.

                First on bench for me too but more robot and everyone else stinking up my team

            8. Kaneyonero
              • 9 Years
              1 month, 15 days ago
