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.

    arbeloa's subs are horrendous. given in to the boo boys and gone defensive and get what we deserve.

    Hadjam has looked absolutely brilliant since coming on

    a threat to DeCuyp perhaps

        "perhaps" was included very deliberately

    1. Brosstan

      Everyone serious owns Pedro

      1. jacob1989

    This Ipswich Fulham game is why I like relative tickers. Those 3 promoted sides on Fulham's ticker should have been grey, not bright green. Fulham are around the same strength.

  21. F4L

    brighton only team with cs today

  22. Feanor

    Schade to Rogers seems obvious since I have 2.5 in the bank

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      1 hour, 28 mins ago

      Was Schade substitution tactical today?

      1. Feanor

        Injured

          FFS. Figured to leave at 51st min

      @ Fulham assets buyers

    2. #1 Arne Engels Fan

      almost like I spent an entire 3 weeks warning everyone on here

  24. faux_C

    Unbelievable choke from Fulham. Royally ruined my wildcard.

      BREAKING: Team bad at football loses game of football

  25. Sun Jihai

    Fulham manager out if he doesn't get 6 points in the next two?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      35 mins ago

      probably not yet. tough for him though when some players were throwing their toys out the pram after just 3 matches, pampered lot. sucked out the attacking intent from early season matches. tbh could've easily won today. only can blame arbeloa though for the silly subs he makes

  26. Ignasi M

    Brighton are going to pound in city

    1. RICICLE
      • 4 Years

      Absolutely

  27. bso

    64 pts with Cpt Haaland, Cherki and MGW to go...finally a decent week!

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 hour, 26 mins ago

      Hall, Wissa, Haaland and MGW to go. Same 64 points. Should be happy, but selling Palmer for Saka is annoying.

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 hour, 22 mins ago

        Always something to trip us up. Get Rogers instead mate. He’s better than Palmer. I will soon as I have a ft.

  28. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 hour, 29 mins ago

    vuskovic is an absolute monster. how did spurs let that go

  29. CRAZY TRAIN
    • 15 Years

    Benching Pedro ended well then!

    1. Ignasi M

      I feel your pain. (from last season)

  30. Ignasi M

    what are we all doing with Palmer then, mandem?
