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.

    Any hope of Sterling getting No minutes tomorrow? All those lovely Wilson points on the bench and rival has nothing to come in for him

    No. Thought not

    1. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No chance

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 years, 11 months ago

      Oh and he's just scored again. Wilson going to cost me ML lead.

    Wilson & Fraser are iconic.

    1. 4-4-who?
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Is it GW15?

  7. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    great. should have played fraser damn

  8. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Please don’t play Bilva/Kun/Sterling

  9. Samwise
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    must be some huge scores here this week

  10. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson, i wish i could hate you on a much larger level than i already do

  11. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    WHEEEEEL SOOOOOOOON

  12. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    So I should've actually benched Jimi instead of Jota, never really considered that, was always Jota or Wilson.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Should of benched Jimmy not Wilson 🙁

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I don't feel bad though because I never considered it.

    2. MMN
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Was always Jota for me, played Jimenez and Wilson as Jota hasn’t done much away from home but now hoping for a Sterling/Kun no show which looks impossible

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        We probably have the same team, lol.

  13. Godfrey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson 🙂

  14. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson again 😆 didn't think I could dislike him any more

  15. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson and Fraser easily most annoying players this season

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I got rid of both for hits.

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Oh man...

  16. DR0GBA

    Wilson Troll of the season

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I think so for me

  20. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Jimenez injury look bad? Precautionary sub or enforced?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Looks a knock

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      When he came off he shook Nuno's hand and it looked like Nuno asked if it was serious and Jimenez shook his head no.
      Of course can't be sure what was said but that's what it looked like.

  21. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wish I had another BB to use this week... started Ward Prowse and Gray who both scored but also benched Jota and Wan Bissaka...

  22. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Sold Wilson for -4 for DCL to get Salah in. Rival in 50 quid lead has him. I am RAGING!!!!!

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA

  24. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson misses chance 1 on 1 with keeper.

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      ferk

  25. Unfathomable Ruination
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson misses a chance for a hat-trick! Decent save

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Good

  26. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson miss 1 on 1

  27. FPL DONKEY
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson cost me my ML last season by scoring in the last minute of the last game and now he's doing it again. F*** Wilson

    1. FPL DONKEY
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      And I benched Jota as well

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Me too. 700 quid on the line too. I sold him to get Salah in. Absolutely raging.

  28. Samwise
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    took out jiminez for firmnino... not feeling too bad as kept Wilson and was debating between them. I have Ward-prowse to come in off the bench for firmino too

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      keep us updated

  29. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

  30. TAT
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago
