Richarlison fit to start but Fraser drops to the bench

Following West Ham United’s 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the early kick-off, four more Premier League matches get underway at 15:00 BST.

Crystal Palace host Everton, Fulham entertain Cardiff City, Southampton take on Bournemouth, and Watford play Wolverhampton Wanderers in a rematch of their FA Cup semi-final.

Richarlison is fit to start at Selhurst Park, despite being described as a “major doubt” by his manager on Friday.

Lucas Digne has recovered from his own minor injury as Marco Silva names the same starting XI that beat Manchester United last Sunday.

Patrick van Aanholt returns at the expense of Joel Ward in Roy Hodgson’s only change.

Despite slight concerns for owners of Wolves assets over possible rotation, Nuno Espirito Santo keeps faith with the same 11 players that beat Arsenal in midweek.

Javi Gracia has made three changes to his defence, however, with Adrian Mariappa, Kiko Femenia and Jose Holebas replacing Christian Kabasele, Daryl Janmaat and Adam Masina.

Ralph Hasenhuttl looks to have changed shape this afternoon and has reverted to a back four.

Danny Ings and Yan Valery come in for Stuart Armstrong and the ill Maya Yoshida but Shane Long and Ryan Bertrand are fit to start.

Scott Parker and Neil Warnock have made one change apiece for their meeting at Craven Cottage this afternoon.

Tom Cairney returns at the expense of Jean Michael Seri for the Cottagers, while Leandro Bacuna replaces the injured Joe Ralls for Cardiff.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, van Aanholt, Dann, Kelly, Wan-Bissaka, Meyer, Kouyate, McArthur, Milivojevic, Benteke, Zaha.

Subs: Ward, Townsend, Hennessey, Ayew, Batshuayi, Sako, Riedewald.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Subs: Jagielka, Walcott, Tosun, McCarthy, Stekelenburg, Lookman, Baines.

Fulham XI: Rico, Odoi, Ream, Le Marchand, Bryan, Anguissa, Chambers, Babel, Cairney, Sessegnon, Mitrovic.

Subs: Kebano, Ayite, Christie, Seri, Mawson, Ramirez, Elliott.

Cardiff City XI: Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Bacuna, Gunnarsson, Mendez-Laing, Camarasa, Hoilett, Niasse.

Subs: Richards, Ward, Reid, Cunningham, Harris, Brian Murphy, Healey.

Southampton XI: Gunn, Valery, Bednarek, Stephens, Bertrand, Hojbjerg, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Ings, Long.

Subs: Austin, Armstrong, Lemina, Targett, Sims, Forster, Ramsay.

Bournemouth XI: Boruc, Aké, Cook, Simpson, Clyne, Gosling, Mepham, Lerma, Brooks, King, Wilson.

Subs: Mousset, Ibe, Hyndman, Fraser, Begovic, Solanke, Surridge.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Cathcart, Mariappa, Holebas, Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra, Gray, Deulofeu.

Subs: Gomes, Janmaat, Success, Masina, Sema, Chalobah, Kabasele.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Patricio, Bennett, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny, Jimenez, Jota.

Subs: Ruddy, Cavaleiro, Costa, Gibbs-White, Saiss, Vinagre, Traore.

    Did Deu touch it last before the goal?

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years

      no patricio

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 21 hours ago

        Was it not a shot at Patricio?

        Should be an assist in that case.

        1. drughi
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 21 hours ago

          no tried to dribble past but Patricio intercepted it and the ball when in another direction(to gray)

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Seems he was tackled/dispossessed and the ball fell to Gray.

      Looks like Foster to Deulofeu to Gray.

    First time watching Southampton, didn't know how irrelevant Ward-Prowse was to their attack. Looking forward to selling him.

      I couldn't believe the amount of people actually bringing him in on WC

      So you brought JWP without watching him play?
      Some real life managers do that and buy fellas from a you tube clip, so I suppose your not alone there!

    Wolves losing the cleanie is great as I assume lots in the top 10k ish had wolves defenders doherty in particular?

    1. tafrère

      Yes, happy with that too.

    ok how this is not an assist? doesn't it fall under the rebound rule

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 21 hours ago

      He didn't shoot?

      1. Zilla
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 21 hours ago

        Gray area, I can still score a goal without "shooting".

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years

          André Gray area

      Was dispossesed.

    3. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 21 hours ago

      Fairly similar to Salah non-assist against Watford, or even Redmond non-assist against Everton. They don't give assist just for last opposition player to touch the ball

  9. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 21 hours ago

    Any chance Fulham bring on 16-year old Harvey Elliott? Want to see if he lives up to the hype.

  10. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 21 hours ago

    Mitro should score.

    1. Wild Rover

    Played Jota over him at least

  12. Bun Rab

      in the same boat 🙁

  13. Rainer

    Almost jota goal Doherty assist

  16. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 21 hours ago

    Mind if I pick some brains please?

    Lloris Foster
    TAA Doherty Valery Bednarek Dunk
    Sterling Son Eriksen Mane Jota
    Aguero Jimenez Wilson

    2 FT, 0 ITB

    I have exact money to do Eriksen, Wilson > Pogba, Rashford but that wouldn't make sense would it because I wanna start Jota next week, just do the Pogba move and bench Wilson or something else? I despise Pog but Hudds is difficult to ignore.

    1. Eric_the_king
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 21 hours ago

      I would go with Eriksen > Pogba Huddersfield and then Cardiff is very enticing especially when he's on pens. Also feel there's a decent chance that Eriksen gets rested between the Ajax games (although it does feel like a lottery at this stage.)

    seen gray goal deffo assist for GD

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 21 hours ago

      If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded. Should a touch by an opposing player be followed by a defensive error by another opposing outfield player then no assist will be awarded. If the goal scorer loses and then regains possession, then no assist is awarded.

    JWP plays RB during the DGW and now he’s on my bench, he’s back in midfield and scores.

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 21 hours ago

      Yep, even worse for people that owned both JWP and Valery.
