Three more Gameweek 35 matches take place this Sunday, with Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur following on from two afternoon kick-offs.

TEAM NEWS

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola brings in Tyler Adams and Rayan.

Ryan Christie and David Brooks drop to the bench.

Palace, with one eye on the second leg of their UEFA Conference League semi-final against Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday, make five changes.

Chris Richards, Tyrick Mitchell, Adam Wharton, Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta are demoted to substitute duty.

Chadi Riad, Justin Devenny, Jefferson Lerma, Brennan Johnson and Jorgen Strand Larsen come in.

At Old Trafford, the Manchester United team news is straightforward: Matheus Cunha in for the benched Amad Diallo.

Liverpool’s two alterations are enforced, with Ryan Gravenberch and Jeremie Frimpong replacing the injured Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak.

Alisson Becker has failed to recover, so Freddie Woodman continues between the posts.

          When Bruno gets a YC and doesn’t whinge, you know it could’ve been red.

          Decent game this

          I like a 3-2

          As much as a 5-4

          Wirtz...I'm sorry, but I just don'r rate him. He totally reminds me of Denilson who played for Arsenal many years ago. Wonderfully technically gifted player, easy on the eye, but rarely did anything of note and barely affected games.

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            59 mins ago

            Hardly noticed him

          2. JBG
            • 7 Years
            59 mins ago

            Liverpool should spend another 100m+ on a player like him

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              2 mins ago

              Indeed

              TV money just fuelled transfer and wage inflation

              You need £25m minimum to compete at the bottom of the Championship these days.

              Or 4 X that for some.

          3. I sold him before this GW -4 for Saka

          4. thegaffer82
            • 14 Years
            58 mins ago

            It’d be fine if he cost them like 30mil…
            But he didn’t 🙂

            1. Ignasi M
              • 8 Years
              2 mins ago

              yeah innit. the same as Isak. Like, I'd love Isak at Arsenal for £20-30m MAX, knowing he's injured all the time but use him as a squad player and someone who you can manage their injury record by using him as an impact sub.

              1. AC/DC AFC

                • 10 Years

                He should have stayed at Newcastle

                1. Ignasi M
                  • 8 Years
                  just now

                  yeah for sure.

              2. Ignasi M
                • 8 Years
                just now

                Isak is so injury prone he should just be a bench player. He'd probably, paradoxically, play more minutes as his body will be rested and managed better.

        6. thegaffer82

          Zirkzee on soon. Prob for Cuhna you’d think

        7. The Bandit

          Cunha will probably lose his bap for getting subbed 🙁

          1. The Bandit

            Looked like it

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            52 mins ago

            That's the consensus

            At HT

            Almost changed the result

          3. thegaffer82
            • 14 Years
            52 mins ago

            Don’t think so. I think Carrick wanted to be more ‘solid’ with Amad on instead who presses and tracks back really well.
            Didn’t work out cos we gifted them 2 easy goals, but that was the idea imo

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              51 mins ago

              Really

              Didn't work out

              Will he get the gig?

              Deservedly so, if so.

            2. The Bandit

              He was clearly limping badly after he was subbed.

                He looks fine, just seen him walking from the bench

                  14 years on here and still thinks walking = not injured

                    15 mins ago

                    Been playing footy. - forget watching - and never been injured and walked away normally. So don’t know wtf injuries you’ve had or seen where they walk totally normally

          Casemiro 17 DEFCONs.

              18 mins ago

              Very hard to replace without breaking the bank. I guess Utd will go all in for Forrest's Andersen?

              1. thegaffer82
                • 14 Years
                17 mins ago

                I think he’s City bound sadly

                1. Ignasi M
                  • 8 Years
                  just now

                  damn. Cover for Rodri who is facing a little?

              2. Moon Dog
                  8 mins ago

                  I don't think the new board will overpay for Anderson, they want to move past doing that. I've heard Tchouameni might be available at a cheaper price. It sounds farcical but some good sources have said he feels unappreciated by the Madrid fans and that Madrid want to replace him with Rodri. Baleba could be an option too, but maybe as an Ugarte replacement rather than a Casemiro one...

                  1. x.jim.x
                    • 11 Years
                    3 mins ago

                    Saw pretty much everyone is put off by his price, but watch City sign him for like £60m. I’d be fine with 2 out of the name we’re linked with (Camavinga, Tonali, Bruno G, Tchouameni, Wharton, Baleba) but I really think we need 3 assuming Ugarte’s leaving.

                  2. Ignasi M
                    • 8 Years
                    3 mins ago

                    Interesting. Yeah either Tchouameni or Baleba would be very god replacements. I'd take both at Arsenal to offer realistic competition to Zubimendi who has suffered since January.

            2. Moon Dog

                Low by his standards.

              Bruno's a disgrace. Crying and railing at the referee for minutes for a non existent foul. On a yellow already. He deserved at least two red cards. But the refs get what they deserve because they don't do anything about it.

                  Yeah, Slot isn;t good enough. He can't blame injuries. Look at Arsenal, they've had the worst injury record out of everyone all season. Pool have recruited terribly.
