Before Manchester City begin their Gameweek 36 double-header in the evening kick-off, we’ve got three more Premier League matches to bring you:

Casemiro Sesko

TEAM NEWS

The most significant team news come from Wearside, although not concering the hosts. Sunderland’s only change sees Lutsharel Geertruida replace the suspended Dan Ballard.

Rather, the teamsheet bedlam is delivered by Michael Carrick – and he did hint at it in Thursday’s presser.

Carrick makes five changes to the side that beat Liverpool, in fact, although two are enforced as Benjamin Sesko and, unexpectedly, Casemiro miss out. The departing Brazilian should be back in Gameweek 37.

Bryan Mbeumo drops to bench for the second time in five Gameweeks, while Diogo Dalot and Ayden Heaven are also demoted to substitute duty.

Mason Mount, Noussair Mazraoui, Joshua Zirkzee, Amad Diallo and, back from a ban, Lisandro Martinez come into the side.

At the Amex, Fabian Hurzeler makes two changes to his defence following the 3-1 defeat by Newcastle last week.

Lewis Dunk and Maxim De Cuyper come in as Olivier Boscagli has to make do with substitute duty. Mats Wieffer is injured.

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ only alteration sees Hwang Hee-chan come in for Tolu Arokodare.

Finally, at Craven Cottage, it’s two changes apiece.

For the hosts, Marco Silva prefers Tom Cairney and Rodrigo Muniz to Harrison Reed and Raul Jimenez. The latter was struggling with illness this week.

Bournemouth’s Ryan Christie replaces Tyler Adams, while Adam Smith is the one deputising for the unavailable Alex Jimenez at right-back.

Justin Kluivert is back on the bench after a four-month absence.

      With Europe on the line, they could have a few players worthy of consideration

      I wanted him but already had 3 Brighton. Hope Welbeck can get something

        Van hecke is my only brighton cover, a clean sheet would keep me happy enough.

          If all you have is Van Hecke you need to hope for a Wolves goal. Brighton def is far above 100EO

          1. TanN
            • 5 Years

            Oh really, shouldve looked into EO and committed to extra players from brighton then

              You're better off not knowing. EO one of the five scourges of FPL along with copying content creators, five subs, chips and something else I can't think of right now.

              1. Brosstan

                Completely agree...

                Add captaincy. Makes it so that you get super punished every time you dare try not owning the most popular players.

      Mitoma was a wasted transfer

    It was a toss up between Groß and Hinshelwood. Hinshelwood scores.. those are the breaks... 89mins left to make amends Pascal !

                  Dango/Schade, Bruno G, KDH/Garner Enzo perhaps

                  1. Brosstan

                    just now

                    Oh didnt see the price req. Dango is an option

    So when will the Premier league change the Enzo goal to fofana’s this is a joke it’s clearly Fofanas goal ! We spend all year on here and the F it up with 2 games to go. Scandalous!!

      • 8 Years
      1 hour, 10 mins ago

    Is it even worth getting Wilson in to target Wolves with Fulham's current beach form?..

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      14 mins ago

      KDH seems better

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
