Three more Premier League matches get underway at 3pm BST.

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur – two teams that many Gameweek 34 Free Hitters went big on – are among the sides in action.

Fantasy aside, it’s a pivotal afternoon at the bottom of the Premier League as 18th-placed Spurs and 17th-placed West Ham United endeavour to avoid finishing the day in the bottom three.


TEAM NEWS

There’s the expected change between the posts at Anfield as Freddie Woodman makes his first Premier League start for Liverpool.

Giorgi Marmadashivili is out injured, while Alisson has still not fully recovered.

Arne Slot’s other alteration sees Alexis Mac Allister replace Ryan Gravenberch, who drops to the bench.

As promised, Oliver Glasner goes pretty much full strength on Merseyside, recalling Jean-Philippe Mateta, Ismaila Sarr, Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada.

Jørgen Strand Larsen, Yéremy Pino, Will Hughes and Jefferson Lerma are demoted to substitute duty.

There’s not been this much FPL interest in Spurs assets for some time, but a combination of Gameweek 34 being a big Free Hit week and the calibre of opposition has led to a (temporary) surge in demand.

The Lilywhites’ team news is straightforward: Djed Spence for the injured Destiny Udogie is the only change.

James Maddison is again on the bench as a non-playing substitute!

As for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Rob Edwards makes five changes after the 3-0 loss at Leeds United.

Jose Sa, Pedro Lima, Matt Doherty, Rodrigo Gomes and Mateus Mane start for the relegated hosts.

Dan Bentley, Jackson Tchatchoua, Angel Gomes and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde drop to the bench, while Ladislav Krejci misses out due to injury.

Finally, in east London, West Ham are unchanged for their clash with Everton.

The Toffees’ only two alterations are enforced, with Thierno Barry and Michael Keane replacing the sidelined Beto and Jarrad Branthwaite.

    I was grieving for the lost 4 points of Salah, now it's only 2. I think that's a win for this GW?

          I took the armband off of Gibbs-White and gave it to Salah. Got punished for my sentimental gesture.

    Currently on 5 points from 6 players including captain. Even by my recent standards, this feels special.

      11 from 6, I truly am a FH genius then

    Munoz should join Everton next season

  11. Brosstan

    Of course I lose double Liv CS due to this disgrace. Munoz absolute pos should get banned

    1. FPL Blow-In

      2 hours, 33 mins ago

      Banned because you lost points in a fantasy game? Because he done nothing wrong on the pitch

      It’s unbelievable

    Will Brentford do the decent thing next week
    Lose to West Ham ?

  16. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    2 hours, 32 mins ago

    This game is the worst. Reduced the gap to ML Leader with 40 points last week meaning he only had a 9 point lead. He got MGW and Mavropanos on his FH this week whereas I got VVD and Gakpo and now he leads by 30 pts.

  17. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    2 hours, 31 mins ago

    Benching Porro was dumb. He’s on 10, while Xavi, Virgil, Watkins, Wilson and Salah have 10 between them.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      2 hours, 30 mins ago

      Please don’t jinx Porro for us who played him!

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Spurs with 1 SOT in 80 minutes against Wolves. They deserve to go down.
