There are three more Premier League matches following on from Everton 0-2 Chelsea, which all kick off at 3pm BST.

TEAM NEWS

The big team news is that Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca makes six changes from midweek.

Matheus Nunes, Nico O’Reilly, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Mateo Kovacic, Phil Foden and Iliman Ndiaye come into the side.

For Ipswich Town, Gary O’Neil brings in Jacob Greaves and Exequiel Palacios for Sasa Lukic and Jaden Philogene.

Lukic is not in the matchday squad.

At the Gtech Community Stadium, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexander Isak return to the Liverpool starting XI.

The suspended Ryan Gravenberch and Lewis Koumas make way from Gameweek 6.

Brentford’s three alterations see Sepp van den Berg, Mathias Jensen and Dango Ouattara replace Jannik Schuster, El Hadji Malick Diouf and Kevin Schade, who has been struggling with a shoulder injury.

  16. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 day, 7 hours ago

    Josh King might legitimately be the worst FPL pick of all time. What a waste.

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      1 day, 7 hours ago

      Yeah he should be hauling like a 10m+ mid at his price

      1. JBG
        1 day, 7 hours ago

        At least an assist considering the fixtures...

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          1 day, 7 hours ago

          Not his fault the others can’t finish - should have had 3 assists and 1 goal today, 2 assists minimum last week.

          That Gonzalo wastes most of them.
          It’s not like King is doing nothing - check his xGI

      2. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 day, 7 hours ago

        There is a middle ground between that and complete garbage you dummy

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          1 day, 7 hours ago

          Yeah and his xGI is at that level

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            1 day, 7 hours ago

            Which is not complete garbage, garbage would be no data dummy

            1. Harper_
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              1 day, 7 hours ago

              I'm so happy for all the points I get from him having good xGI
