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.

  3. CRO KLOPP

      1. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It has gone OK so far. 14, with Mitrovic to play, from who I probably would have picked.

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

      a few in Malaysia and Iraq did and perhaps Nepal.

  8. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    My decision of captaining Haaland in GW1 and refusing to give it to anyone else, regardless of the match, is paying off.

    ... waits for Jesus to score 6.

    1. dansully3
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I was the same, took it off him this week for Kane!

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      massive rank rise

  9. bench boost for every gamew…
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinelli will get injured and Saka scores a hatty today. This us hiw This season goes like this.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      As long as Jesus blanks

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

    Did Cancelo go off injured?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Just pulled I think

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

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

    should have a 3 year ban on bournemouth coming back up to the prem. What on earth is this performance. Where do all the parachute payments go? Just enough investment to come back up to the prem for the money. Where's the rest of it

    No investment at all in players. And their stadium is one of the most embarrassing buildings in the UK

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

      Don't worry Bournemouth will take points from us per usual.

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

      You've obviously never seen Rhyl Sun Centre.

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      These games won't decide if they stay up.

      They win in midweek and it is a fairly decent start

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

      Definition of a yo-yo club

    5. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      bit harsh they did win their first match

    6. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      "one of the most embarrassing buildings in the UK"

      That made me laugh out loud.

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

    had haaland cap the whole week until i listened to some stupid youtube vid and changed to salah the last min...

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

      sheep

    2. Legendary!
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      /LOL

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

      Don't make choices from YouTube vids, they are for fun entertainment only.

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

      Pick your own team 🙂

    5. Rambo Motin
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      good you dumb sheep you deserve it

      1. Wenger's Warriors
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        bit harsh

    6. Harry the Hack
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      putting something on youtube doesnt make someone an expert

    7. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Stay on Haaland every single week. By the end of the seasons, fitness permitting, you won't lose out much, even from the best captain pickers.

  13. sandman58
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What's up with Zinchenko ffs?

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Must be injured, not on the bench, nor is Partey.

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

    Ok Salah not scoring in a 9-0 win will go down in fpl folklore

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

      just a bit...

    2. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      no assists either, tf for the cs lol

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

      People will sell now like they did with robbo an Trent !

  15. FC Hakkebøf
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Walker + Salah vs Diaz + Sterling…

    Leaning towards the latter with Haaland (C) week in week out

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      First part no, second part yes.

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

    Diaz is on 14 points.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      o/

  17. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Chuffed to get that Salah captaincy clean sheet point haul! Thanks Mo.

  18. EL tridente
    • 8 Years

  26. Ninja Škrtel
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    1. Santi sensei
      • 12 Years

    2. Cancelo to trent
    3. Maddison to Grob
    4. Son to Bernado Silva

    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

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

      Not real. It's because points are only updated between the game blocks.
