The penultimate Premier League fixture of the day sees Tottenham Hotspur entertain Everton.

Kick-off in north London is at 17:30 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie are out through injury as Roberto De Zerbi is forced into two changes at full-back. Andrew Robertson and Archie Gray come in.

There are two unenforced changes for the hosts, too, as Mateus Fernandes and Dominic Solanke oust Conor Gallagher and Mathys Tel from the side.

James Maddison is among the Lilywhites’ substitutes on his return from injury.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles for Merlin Rohl is David Moyes’ only alteration from last weekend.

Jack Grealish has to content himself with a place among the substitutes again, then.

    Garner on 5 defcons after 20 minutes is absurd.

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Archie Gray too tbf.

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

      KDH doing decent too

      1. Moon Dog

        1 month, 17 days ago

        Everton are a defcon breeding ground!

        1. GreennRed
          1 month, 17 days ago

          36% posession driving that.

  2. Bobby Digital
    1 month, 17 days ago

    M Fernandes shouldn't be playing in the hole... Guys has no end product, even if he scored a screamer in preseason.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Should have scored already. Poor.

      1. Bobby Digital
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Yeah Spurs can't stop giving away possession in the final third. Marmoush and Savio have been poor too.

    Any chance of Cherki having a case of explosive diarrhoea today?

    1. The Philosopher
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Or even better tomorrow

    2. Rudi Van Disarzio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 17 days ago

      I was hoping for some Gross diarrhoea instead

      1. jacob1989
        1 month, 17 days ago

        I need 2 of 3 of gvardiol, califiori or l hall to have this issue..
        I assume to get leif davis off bench?

  4. GreennRed
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Aina looks safe for the near future.

  5. Joyce1998
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Wouldn't mind Everton scoring here

    1. Tomerick
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Many rivals have backed Kinsky. An Everton goal would be delicious.

  6. x.jim.x
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Remember that period when people wanted Pep to start Marmoush over Haaland hahahaha

    1. Sharkytect
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Was there ever really such a period?

      1. x.jim.x
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Yes after Haaland went a couple of games without scoring. Looked bad cos he was only getting like 8 touches.

    2. LarryDuff
      1 month, 17 days ago

      No

    3. jacob1989
      1 month, 17 days ago

      No. Maybe could have played both together

  7. Brosstan
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Will the useless piece of trash Barry ever score again?

  8. F4L
    1 month, 17 days ago

    just watching quick highlights of forest match, seems munoz already has a decent understanding/connection with mgw down that right side. munoz close to 2 assists. are the fixtures too bad for forest to put people off munoz?

    cov h
    palace a
    arsenal h
    ipswich a
    brentford a
    city h
    bournemouth a
    chelsea h

    maybe could've just done with a few easier home matches in there? kinda feel like only 3 of those 8 are nice fixtures (cov, palace and ips). but then he always has a goal in him

    Bus team question:

    Play Sangare(CHE) or Shaw(ful)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Sangare

    2. lilmessipran
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Can't write Shawful without awful.

    3. Mr Turnip 1
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Sangare

  10. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Anyone WC5? Or just waiting for another week for IB?

    1. Mr Turnip 1
      1 month, 17 days ago

      I was tempted.

      Think I’m waiting a week though, the extra info is so valuable.

      I am becoming slightly concerned by my team value though…

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      1 month, 17 days ago

      IB. With planned BB IN GW 8

    3. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 17 days ago

      I’m doing it. Don’t think I’ll learn anything new between 5&6 and going to get priced out of a decent team if not careful

  11. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Spurs shot on Target, Pickford haul loading .....

  12. PartyTime
    1 month, 17 days ago

    M. fernandes, £85 million signing with a £25.00 shot at Pickford

    1. Bobby Digital
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Yeah, wrong player getting into those areas

  13. lilmessipran
    1 month, 17 days ago

    To all the Palmer + Haaland owners, are you comfortable rotating captaincy with Palmer where you will not go with Haaland captain? Just don't think he is quite at it, really tempted to go back to Bruno and only have JP as an alternate captaincy shout from Chelsea if needed.

    1. jacob1989
      1 month, 17 days ago

      J pedro better c option.. i c him today. If in doubt, c the guy who plays home

    2. Mr Turnip 1
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Pedro certainly seems to be slightly outperforming Palmer rn for underlying numbers, it’s just the midfielder and penalties aspect, but Pedro a very viable captaincy option tbh. I do wonder whether Rogers and Pedro is the best Chelsea attacking double up…

    3. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 17 days ago

      I’m going back to Bruno from Palmer on WC. Trust JP more if want to captain a Chelsea player

  14. jacob1989
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Wondering honestly to now start leif davis over califiori next week (have raya).. other options are gvardiol or l hall to bench.. start leif?

    1. g40steve
      1 month, 17 days ago

      You know if you do it will be 1 point

    2. Mr Turnip 1
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Over Calafiori???

      Absolutely no chance whatsoever

      Remember that Palace are very bad rn

  15. g40steve
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Spurs spendz vs Everton spendz, should’ve saved the 360m

    1. x.jim.x
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Only about £250m difference in spend between the two teams

  16. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Team to play Sunderland:

    Raya, White, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Odegaard, Saka, Tzolis, Havertz

    1. jacob1989

    2. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Is Angulo that £4.5m forward?

      1. lilmessipran
        1 month, 17 days ago

        No, this one is the 5m mid.

    3. lilmessipran
      1 month, 17 days ago

      About time Gabriel does something to justify the price tag

  17. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Arsenal unchanged: Raya, White, Konsa, Gabriel, Cala, Rice, MLS, Saka, Ode, Tzolis, Havertz

    Prem all draws lol

  19. Brosstan
    1 month, 17 days ago

    I hate Barry. But at least I don't own Isak

  20. el polako
    1 month, 17 days ago

    I think what they need at Spurs is to spend some more money.
    Does City have anymore players they want to offload?

  21. g40steve
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Kinsky wtaf

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Kinky from him

    2. GREEN JUMPERS
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Made himself a saves point

      1. g40steve
        1 month, 17 days ago

        🙂

    3. DeSelby
      1 month, 17 days ago

      He was trying for title of "worst pass of the season" but failed because no one could beat the pass Allison made against Fulham earlier.

  22. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Benched Garner's defcon like an amatuer.

    Never bench Garner.

    1. SM001
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Never bench him for 2 poxy defcon points?

      1. Moon Dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 month, 17 days ago

        5pts is like an assist. Not many players average over 5pts per game.

        Garner is also on set pieces, and I think penalties too. Defcon just lifts his floor.

        1. SM001
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Set pieces and pens sure. But 2 defcon points? Nah

    2. lilmessipran
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Will get worse when Everton get a pen and he scores

  23. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 17 days ago

    My GW3 WC looking great - MGW, Schade, Konsa, Bruno over Palmer. Shame I used FH this week to load up on Chelsea and Liverpool, but it was pre-planned at least.

    1. Mr Turnip 1
      1 month, 17 days ago

      You’ve probably done ok if you had all of Palmer, Rogers, and Pedro. You’ve done better than the Palmer TCers like myself anyway…

  24. DeSelby
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Kinsky trying to make a worse pass than Allison earlier today but couldn't quite do it. Still, so, so terrible.

    1. x.jim.x
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Do people not remember the game against Atletico

  25. g40steve

    1. The Philosopher
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Spurs spending big money on 3 bang average players is so spursy.

    2. Bobby Digital
      1 month, 17 days ago

      A blind man could see that they weren't worth all that moolah

  29. The Philosopher
    1 month, 17 days ago
