Two more Premier League matches follow on from Arsenal’s defeat to Bournemouth, both kicking off at 3pm BST.

Two of the Gameweek 33 doublers, Burnley and Brighton and Hove Albion, meet at Turf Moor.

Simultaneously, in west London, Brentford host Everton.

TEAM NEWS

Starting with the team news from in-demand Brighton, Fabian Hurzeler has made two changes from the Seagulls’ last outing in Gameweek 31.

Both are enforced as Lewis Dunk is suspended and James Milner has picked up an injury.

Olivier Boscagli and Yasin Ayari come into the side.

Diego Gomez and Yankuba Minteh keep their places on the flanks, which means more bench duty for Kaoru Mitoma.

Danny Welbeck leads the line again.

As for Burnley, Scott Parker responds to the defeat to Fulham by making four changes. He’s had his hand forced with two of them, as Hannibal Mejbri and Josh Laurent are absent through injury and suspension.

Lesley Ugochukwu, Marcus Edwards, Hjalmar Ekdal and Florentino Luis all start, while Kyle Walker and Lyle Foster are benched.

There are two alterations for Brentford for the visit of Everton.

Two players affected by injury in Gameweek 31, Dango Ouattara and Mikkel Damsgaard, are back in the side.

Ethan Pinnock moves down to substitute duty, while Jordan Henderson misses out entirely.

David Moyes has made only one change from Everton’s 3-0 win over Chelsea.

It comes at the back as Jarrad Branthwaite gets the nod over Michael Keane, who drops to the bench.

    Glad I kept Thiago on WC instead of getting suckered into Welbeck or DCL. Might hold on to him next week as well.

    You're up now Burnley, score 2 without being offside (despite that 2nd one being very dubious).

    4. Make FPL Casual Again

      5 days, 5 hours ago

      There is still hope they'll grab a goal and save their/our dignity

  15. Pep's Money Laundry

    I had a feeling Thiago to Welbeck on wc won't turn out well.

    You win some, you lose some

    Kadioglu and Truffert were in an out my WC draft all week but they missed out to the DEFCON merchants Van Hecke and Senesi.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years

      Same

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Weiffer essential

  18. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Kyle Walker on... What can he do?? That goal against Arsenal was centuries ago

  19. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    • 14 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Wieffer again. I didn’t even know he existed until this afternoon

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 days, 5 hours ago

      Neither did anyone, first goals scored this season

  25. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Weiffer not thin on point

  26. z13
      5 days, 5 hours ago

      From Gross vs Hinshelwood to neither and no debate

      1. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        5 days, 5 hours ago

        Gross got an assist no?

        1. z13
            5 days, 4 hours ago

            But Wieffer is the standout

        2. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 days, 4 hours ago

          That's the decision I came to as well. Went Sarr and Tavernier time will tell if they do any better. Gross already.
