Raphinha and Jimenez return to starting XIs as Armstrong is benched again

Four more Premier League matches kick off at 3pm BST today: Crystal Palace v Newcastle United, Everton v Watford, Leeds United v Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton v Burnley,

Raphinha is back in the Leeds United starting XI today, replacing Tyler Roberts in Marcelo Bielsa’s only alteration from the team that he sent out in Gameweek 8.

Kalvin Phillips is on the bench after a calf injury.

As for the visitors, Raul Jimenez is back in the Wolves team despite some pre-match concerns over game-time for the Mexican. He and Rayan Ait-Nouri are in for Ruben Neves and Marcal, who isn’t even among the substitutes.

Richarlison is only fit enough for a place on the Everton bench, with Anthony Gordon and Tom Davies in for Abdoulaye Doucoure and Alex Iwobi the two changes that Rafael Benitez has made.

Jeremy Ngakia, Joshua King and Ozan Tufan are brought in at the expense of Danny Rose, Emmanuel Dennis and Kiko Femenia by Claudio Ranieri.

It’s one change apiece at St Mary’s, with Theo Walcott replacing Moussa Djenepo and Erik Pieters in for Charlie Taylor.

Adam Armstrong is only among the substitutes for the Saints, with budget forward Armando Broja stationed up top.

Patrick Vieira makes one change to the Crystal Palace team that drew 2-2 at Arsenal on Monday, with Michael Olise in for Jordan Ayew. Wilfried Zaha is only on the bench after recovering from illness.

Newcastle caretaker boss Graeme Jones makes two tweaks to the Newcastle team named by Steve Bruce in his final game in charge of the Magpies, with Emil Krafth and Ryan Fraser in for Joe Willock and Joelinton.

  23. Differentiator

    Are you kidding me.....

    Gallagher gets subbed off RIGHT AS THE CORNER IS ABOUT TO BE TAKEN

    Then corner comes in and Benteke scores

    FFS

  24. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    King last on my bench. FFS, atleast he’s an option againsf Saints next week.

  25. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any King & Mount owners?

  26. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Should’ve done Sarr -> Mount (-4). Sarr was supposed to be nailed for 90 mins and on pens, bit it was the other way around 🙂 Should I make the transfer before next gw?

  27. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sa chance created... xA

  28. GROBARI
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    My midfield
    Saka(3 goals 0 Gi from him)
    Raph(injured)
    Sarr(4 goals 0 Gi from him)

  29. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I can't recall of a season during which it's been so hard to find quality, reliable mids.

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Totally. I hate my entire midfield (Sarr Saka Benraham Raph) bar Salah. But apart from Mbeumi there's really nobody else I fancy bringing in.

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Exactly. I have Foden, which is a permanent headache, and I have to ditch Townsend and Raphinha. I could bring in ESR and Mbeumo, but it looks so meh on paper

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Salah?

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Barring him of course

  30. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What happened to Raphina?

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Went off injured after a Saiss tackle (booked)...

    2. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Got on the wrong end of a rough tackle. Couldn't carry on.
