2pm team news: James injured as West Ham ring the changes

Double Gameweek 34 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday, with Brighton and Hove Albion v Southampton, Burnley v Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea v West Ham United kicking-off at 14:00 BST.

The big FPL team news comes from Stamford Bridge, where Reece James misses out through injury.

Malang Sarr, Andreas Christensen and Romelu Lukaku also drop out from the side that lost to Arsenal in midweek, with Thiago Silva, Trevoh Chalobah, Jorginho and Kai Havertz coming in.

Antonio Rudiger is absent because of an ongoing groin injury.

For the visitors, David Moyes makes six changes with one eye on Thursday’s Europa League semi-final.

Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio are among those who sit out, while defenders Kurt Zouma, Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna are all unavailable through injury.

Brighton welcome back Leandro Trossard after a brief illness saw him miss the midweek trip to Manchester City, while Adam Webster and Neal Maupay also feature.

Yves Bissouma, meanwhile, serves the final game of a two-match suspension.

Ralph Hasenhuttl makes six changes with Armando Broja benched.

Mohammed Salisu, Tino Livramento, Nathan Redmond, Nathan Tella, Shane Long and Che Adams are the ones who come into the starting XI.

Burnley remain without the injured quartet Ashley Westwood, Erik Pieters, Ben Mee and Johann Berg Gudmundsson, and make just one change from their Gameweek 33 win over Southampton.

Ivory Coast forward Maxwel Cornet misses out – not even making the squad with a ‘niggly knee’ – and is replaced by Matej Vydra.

For Wolves, Raul Jimenez returns after completing a two-game suspension, with Romain Saiss, Nelson Semedo and Leander Dendoncker also coming into Bruno Lage’s XI.

Max Kilman, Ruben Neves and Daniel Podence miss out through injury.

    The best thing could happen now is to end that game.. Chelsea are not looking good lately and the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is awful.

    1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Lot of empty seats aren't there!?

      1. KAALI_DAAL

        2 years, 1 month ago

        Isnt that mandatory?

  7. Bubz

    Abysmal

  8. Salan
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I only hope Chelsea win 1:0 this one with Alonso scoring by Mount's assist.

    Nothing more.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Way this going no hope!

      Alonso just auditioned for the new John Smiths bitter advert!

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years

      this

  9. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    no chance Klopp benches VVD, Robbo and Salah. He's in a title race, dont see how he can afford to rest his 2 best players esp as Liverpool's schedule isnt even that bad

    If Liverpool don't grab the 3 pts today and city end up dropping pts somewhere down the line, everyone will look back on this decision

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Is that the rumour? The one who makes me confident it isn’t true is VVD. He doesn’t get benched

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      He's playing Everton...

      1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        that attitude is why everton picked up 3 pts against united

        1. fplgaruda
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Lol. When you're comparing United with Liverpool

          1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            lol im not comparing them. just stating a fact, that attitude is why top teams get upset by poor teams

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. But we have to rotate because everton game is always physical so players like thiago and robbo might get their rest.. I expect a rotation, tsmikas masterclass is coming.

    4. fplgaruda
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Are you Klopp?
      Just wait for the news 40 mins from now.
      And just stop this non-sense opinion. I(we) don't need it

      1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        talking about football on a football forum isnt allowed? sorry mate

        1. fplgaruda
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          For what? When we'll know the fact later on.
          Just for reading/listening to complete stranger opinion based on nothing. You argue on a rumour of VvD Robbo and Salah got benched. Even that bench issue is not a fact. Opinion about rumour is the worst read.

          I'm here to seek for football fact, like "goal", "omg..." "bruno miss pen" etc

          1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            or you could just watch the game

          2. Cruyff's Eleven
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            Nobody forces you to read

          3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            besides, if you're not on this site to read anything about opinion then maybe youre on the wrong site. 90% of the articles and comments are opinion-based hahaha

  10. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Mount has been completely invisible.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Mi capitano

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Havertz keeps giving ball away

      1. PartyTime
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Ran the ball out for a goal kick earlier. Tuchel was really mad at that. Even wrote something down.

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Because he's having to come out and get it. Not getting support.

        1. PartyTime
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          That doesn’t mean he should give the ball away 😆

    3. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      That’s because I brought him in on a fh. He was doing just fine till I bought him. Sorry

  11. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years

    Liverpool are going to rotate heavily.

    1. Sun Jihai

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yass!

  13. Gazwaz80
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Can’t believe I’ve stay in on a Sunday afternoon ( uk) to watch what can only be described as ‘pitiful’ premier league matchup’s, especially Chelsea playing a team without their best 3. I’m taking the dog out…

  14. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Jwp with a free kick, what else.

  15. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Ahhhh well we got the Chelsea players for the United game anyway. This was just a warm-up.

  16. KeanosMagic
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    The hits I took to get in Mount and Werner... Typical!

  17. rnrd
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I bet Lukaku ok for the second half. His physical impact would be key today

  18. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    My team will otuscoring my WC team.. classic!!!

  19. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    JWP tap in.

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      When i had him in that double bonanza he did nothing of this sort. Annoying player.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        His points are impossible to predict.

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yep. And I took a hit to sell him for Havertz

  20. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Jwp free kick...incredible record he has

    1. fplgaruda
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Best fk taker

  21. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku and Ziyech coming on. Havertz and Werner going off.

    1. fplgaruda
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Said who?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Fate

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Huge if true, life ban if not.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Think a life ban from FPL would be doing me a favour. Might start going outside at weekends.

        1. fplgaruda
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Just do it. Sick of this non-sense

    3. PartyTime
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Looks likely tbh. Only thing that will make this gw perfect is if Klopp rotates

  22. boc610
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    JWP more certain to score his free kicks that bruno is pens

  23. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Pope & Sa hauls are on...

    Most nailed on 0-0 of the season!

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years

    2. boc610
      • 12 Years

  24. Nightcrawler
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Any Mount or Havertz Cappers around?

    Hard to tell with all the MUD covering them

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Could easily see both of them subbed at half time.

    2. boc610
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      i beg of you as a non owner of any chelsea assets could people please save the lols until the game is actually over

    3. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years

      Hmmm

  25. SouthCoastSaint
    • 12 Years
