Liverpool and Manchester City are among the 10 Premier League teams in action at the traditional Saturday afternoon kick-off time.

Both are on home soil, with the Reds taking on Bournemouth and City entertaining Crystal Palace.

Brentford v Everton, Brighton & Hove Albion v Leeds United and Chelsea v Leicester City are the other matches getting underway at 3pm BST.

Injuries and suspensions have reduced the number of options available to Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola but both have made minor alterations to their sides.

Fabinho comes in for James Milner in Klopp’s one change, while the injured Nathan Ake and the benched Ilkay Gundogan make way for Ruben Dias and Riyad Mahrez in Guardiola’s two tweaks.

Bournemouth make three changes for their trip to Anfield as Ryan Christie, Lewis Cook and Jaidon Anthony replace Lloyd Kelly, Ben Pearson and Philip Billing. Kelly isn’t in the squad at all, while Dominic Solanke is only a substitute.

Media reports ruling Wilfried Zaha out of the match at the Etihad were accurate, with the Ivory Coast international’s place in Patrick Vieira’s side taken by Nathaniel Clyne. That will presumably see the Eagles move to a five-at-the-back set-up.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel recalls Trevoh Chalobah rather than Ben Chilwell in place of the suspended Kalidou Koulibaly in his one and only line-up change.

Wilfred Ndidi, Ayoze Perez and the injured James Maddison are replaced by Youri Tielemans, Dennis Praet and Boubakary Soumare in Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers’ three alterations.

Graham Potter makes his first starting XI change of the season as defender Pervis Estupinan replaces the absent Adam Lallana for Brighton, which may mean that Leandro Trossard is pushed further forward after his recent stint at wing-back.

Jesse Marsch predictably sticks with the same Leeds team that defeated Chelsea last weekend.

Thomas Frank’s one change from Brentford’s defeat at Fulham is enforced as Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen comes in for Pontus Jansson, who does not make the squad.

Tom Davies and Dwight McNeil replace Amadou Onana and Salomon Rondon for Everton, who can’t yet call upon new signing Neal Maupay after his move from Brighton.

    Will Ward finally deliver when on our bench?? That would be really frustrating

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I took a hit to get rid of him. This season

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Me too

      2. Sailboats
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        me too

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why would anyone sell Ward?
      Selling Iverson I can understand. Ward is the only playing 4.0 keeper

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        We sold Iversen and our Ward on the bench

  2. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Haaland should of had a YC for that earlier :/

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not at the Etihad. You've been impressive. Again!

  3. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Really interesting start to the round! Firmino is absolute on fire!!! Good for him

  4. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Someone somewhere will have TC'd Firmino?

    Will be their 63rd team, but even so...

    1. 50ShadesOfGray
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Was going to transfer him in for Watkins before I realised the deadline had finished...kicking myself

  5. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Does anyone actually own firmino?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If they do, they aren't worth worrying about.

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        huh? What's wrong with owning the number 9 of one of the best prem teams?

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      136,000 people do.

      Since last GW

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        And before next...

  7. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I’m guessing there’s not many watching the Brentford game. I’d quite like to know how Toney I’d getting on…

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      *is*

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 'touches'.

      1 big chance missed.

  8. Jonesfromthere
    • 13 Years

    Honest question, bring in Bobby?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

    2. Unliklinho
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He does this every so often, then nothing for months on end..

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

    4. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Honestly no.
      This usually happens every season.
      Bobby has a cracking game, bags of points. Doesn’t score again for 7 months

    5. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No. He does this once a season. If you happened to predict it, fantastic! But he’ll share minutes with Darwin and Jota, if he isn’t third choice.

    6. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Lol. It's Bou and Diaz will be back.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        *Darwin

  9. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How did City end up in this poisition?

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They conceded 2 goals.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      2 crosses from Eze.

      Palace deserve it and didn't lose to them last season.

    3. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      We have form vs them.

    4. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Turns out playing without any wide defenders leaves a team open to crosses…who could have predicted that?

    5. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      palace are their bogey team

    6. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Set pieces. Crucial part of the game.

  10. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Firming playing for a big money transfer before Thursday deadline...

  11. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    4 goals, no Mo...

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Time to sell haaland

  13. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah useless, and City

  14. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This is a type of game where Pool score 4/5 before HT and it will be goalless in the second half. Happens every time.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Aye. It does happen quite commonly to be fair when one team has already won the game by H/T

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Really need sometging from Salah here

  15. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Aaronson YC

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Of course after I benched him last GW

  16. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Haaland the most fomo player

  17. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Quadruple cleanie about to disappear in thin air 2 weeks in a row.

  18. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    There’s no players I even want

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      😀

      The end of FPL...

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If I hit the WC button, I'd have absolutely no clue what to do (other than avoid Chelsea).

  19. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I think anyone with double City defense should ditch. They have 0 depth there atm and look vulnerable.

    1. Feloh
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ederson to Ramsdale on the cards.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      0 depth meaning their players start vs Forest at home?

    3. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      2 cleansheets in 4. Calm down.

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm thinking of ditching Cancelo (have Ederson) and spending the cash on a forward.

  20. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Haaland needs a rest

  21. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah be lucky to make 60 minutes here.

  22. Josh.E
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Am glad I got rid of Walker lol

  23. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Might just bin Haaland this week

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years

      I am the most ridiculed poster on here 🙂

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 3 Years

    3. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Firmino

  24. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mark is a witch. It's the only explanation for what he did to Son and now Salah.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Son will megahaul this week guaranteed

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He does sound a bit like Baldrick of Blackadder.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Can see a huge Son haul this week too

  25. Snoop Udogie Dogg
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Well at least Salah is smiling....

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      he'll score 2 second half goals

      chill

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Oh my Salah.

  27. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone do the Haaland to Kane move them s week?

  28. Royal5

    Salah stinker

  29. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Cancelo/Gros to Fofana/Gundo pending…

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Gundo?

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Had his rest

  30. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Walker ➡ James ➡ Walker

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Good moves 🙂
