There are three Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 GMT today – Brentford v Aston Villa, Everton v Brighton and Hove Albion and Leeds United v Burnley.

Thomas Frank makes two changes at Brentford, as Christian Norgaard and Sergi Canos return in place of Dominic Thompson and Shandon Baptiste, both of whom drop to the bench.

Kristoffer Ajer also takes his place amongst the substitutes, having missed two months with a hamstring injury, though Bryan Mbeumo is absent again with a calf problem.

Brentford have already lost five Premier League home matches this season, with only fellow promoted clubs Norwich City and Watford faring worse.

For the visitors, Ollie Watkins misses out, but John McGinn returns and comes in for Morgan Sanson, while Kortney Hause replaces the suspended Tyrone Mings at the back.

Bertrand Traore also comes into the starting XI, before he is set to fly out to play in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after this game.

At Goodison Park, Dominic Calvert-Lewin returns for Everton, and will make his first appearance since all the way back in August.

Seamus Coleman, Allan and Demarai Gray are also back, with the latter’s Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ownership rising to 12.0% ahead of his Double Gameweek.

Graham Potter, meanwhile, brings in Adam Webster, Enock Mwepu and Leandro Trossard, as Tariq Lamptey, Solly March and Jakub Moder are benched.

Elsewhere, Marcelo Bielsa makes two changes from Gameweek 18, with Junior Firpo and Diego Llorente returning, as Cody Drameh and Joe Gelhardt make way.

Daniel James is fit enough to make the bench, though Patrick Bamford remains out.

Their opponents, Burnley, stick with the same XI that lost to Manchester United on Thursday, with Aaron Lennon supporting Chris Wood once again up front.

    Would like to see that statistic of how the PK conversion rate when kickers take 1-2 steps or walk to take it.

      Cannot be too serious about this game with luck factor being so high. Don't even bother to cry, laughing but being annoyed same time is all I can do now.

  9. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    That's the second pen miss in 2GWs for my players. 0 for 2. This is just hilarious.

    At least Brighton don't have to worry about giving away penalties today.

    DCL might struggle to reach 60' too...

    1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rafa said he scores a first half Hartwick so don't mind not getting to 60

    Everton is so kak

  18. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    It could have been worse as a DCL captainer with Sanchez on my bench lol

  19. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    No Watkins means Alonso subs in. Hopefully he can get an assist today

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I got Reguillon’s 6 points which is pretty decent.

      Alonso is at the end of the bench - so unless Ronaldo, Jota or TAA miss out he’ll stay there.

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nice. Alonso > Reguillon is my move this week I think

  20. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    There were people who took a hit for these double gameweek defenders..

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haha.

      I’m considering the James > Johnson move as my FT to free up funds for Bowen and Gray.
      And they all replaced non-players.
      So they only need to cover the hits themselves.

  21. RogDog_jimmy
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    At least Gray is looking lively.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Gray will return today for sure

  22. Sailboats
    • 10 Years

  23. TomSaints
