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.

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Totally! Last one was legend

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

      Shame Spurs isn't the 5pm game today, imagine if Son got a hattrick

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I seriously wouldn’t rule it out. Once Kane gets the assists

  12. Randaxus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Come on I want to see 10-0 for the first time in the premier league.

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

    It’s only 14 points but how can Salah blank when Halaand hatrick

    1. norab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      it's 17

  14. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah is USELESS

  15. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah breaking all statistical models, higher chance of him getting struck by lightning than to not get a sniff of an attacking return in a 9-0 win

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

    I laugh everyday that people watched the Community Shield and got rid of Haaland.

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

    I don’t want to hear how salah is essential again

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years

  19. mad_beer ✅
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Didn't someone on here say Haaland is a flagpole and not worth owning?

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yup

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

    Robertson got to go after this right?

    1. Dat Guy Welbz
      • 5 Years

      No?

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

      Er.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cancelo needs to go first

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Go straight in your team? Yes.

  21. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Only 2 players returning. Haaland (C) and Sterling.

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

    Was there a time when City scored 6+ with Aguero playing 90 and didn't get a return?

  23. NotsoSpursy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Gross and Diaz thank you 🙂

  24. StevenW
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Did Haaland to Kane this week but left C on Jesus (by mistake).

    Think Kane or Jesus will get 3+ goals?

    1. Random Name
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      This man be dreaming

      1. StevenW
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, just glad I’m also non-Salah this GW.

      2. Random Name
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        it doesn't matter how many pts jesus gets because the entire game has him

        1. devoncop
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Not as Captain they dont.

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

          The point for captainers is double, Prof.

        3. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Egg, meet face

    2. T C
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe!

  25. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah's form since March made his 13mil price silly.

  26. JELLYFISH
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Another captain fail for me, keeping calling it wrong…every week

  27. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    We're on cloud nine.

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

    Salahs price is going to plummet

  29. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah must be embarrassed with himself. So he will do everything he can next game to score and punish all the sellers 😉

    1. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Except playing Newcastle, i wouldnt expect a big return

  30. Randaxus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I was seriously thinking about captaining Haaland 🙁

    1. Randaxus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah was the right option, but come on.
