There are four more Premier League matches following on from Arsenal 2-1 Leeds United, all kicking off at 3pm BST.

Pedro Palmer start

TEAM NEWS

The big team news is that Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro start for Chelsea this afternoon.

So too does the fit-again Moises Caicedo, while Josh Acheampong gets a recall at centre-half.

Danny Welbeck, Valentin Barco and Wesley Fofana make way.

Reece James is absent.

For Bournemouth, the injured Alex Scott is replaced by David Brooks.

Brighton and Hove Albion are unchanged for their trip to Sunderland, which means Pascal Struijk keeps his place over Lewis Dunk.

Two of Regis Le Bris’ three changes are enforced, with Brian Brobbey and Dan Ballard out. Dayann Methalie also drops to the bench.

Trai Hume and Reinildo come into the defence, while Wilson Isidor deputises up top.

Ipswich Town boss Gary O’Neil brings in Jaden Philogene, Florentino Luis and Daizen Maeda for Jack Clarke, Exequiel Palacios and the banned Abdul Fatawu.

It’s all change at full-back for Fulham as Kenny Tete and Ryan Sessegnon sit in for Timothy Castagne and the absent Antonee Robinson.

There’s one change apiece at Villa Park.

Matty Cash is in for Aaron Wan-Bissaka for the hosts, while Brentford replace the injured Mikkel Damsgaard with El Hadji Malick Diouf.

    1. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years

        • 9 Years
        1 hour, 45 mins ago

        I think...if palmer scores, he would probably have the 3 bonus.

        1. RICICLE
          • 4 Years
          1 hour, 42 mins ago

          Agreed, we have to hope bud

    I’m getting murdered with no Chelsea ugh. Need Mbeumo to go on a mad one against spurs to stem the leak.

    MGW followed by Saka captaincy have been awful.

  15. F4L
    • 11 Years

        Is he likely to be out next week? That would be very annoying.

    Could do with goals from Gross and Davis here

  23. Fifa las vegas
    • 14 Years
    1 hour, 58 mins ago

    Is De Cuyper essential or has the ship sailed?

    1. FantasyTony
      • 9 Years
      1 hour, 38 mins ago

      More like a rocket taking off

    2. RICICLE
      • 4 Years

      Wondering the same

    3. Sun Jihai

      • 14 Years
      1 hour, 38 mins ago

      I think I'm going to cave. NOR + Szobo to MDC + Gross next GW with my 2 FTs. They just seem to return every week and it's CRY (H).

    4. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      1 hour, 37 mins ago

      Liverpool and City incoming, so I think just wait until after those games to see if Minteh is back.

      1. RICICLE
        • 4 Years
        43 mins ago

        Neither pool or city would out me off getting him, Brighton playing excellently

      2. Fifa las vegas
        • 14 Years
        43 mins ago

        Hmmm, I might WC next week anyway with both Saka and MGW not looking worth it. Or could just take a hit and get Pedro and Rogers in.

        Frustrating week this, getting hammered at every corner

        1. RICICLE
          • 4 Years
          39 mins ago

          Pedro is a must bud

          1. Fifa las vegas

            1 min ago

            I know, wish I just didn’t waste my time and points getting him out for Wissa last GW

    5. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      1 hour, 31 mins ago

      Too late to buy him imo.

  24. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
