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.

    Can I say now that we Jesus cappers are winners?

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

      Haaland cappers

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Haaland captainers are winners, we are just really lucky today and if we get even half of what Haaland gets we'll be doing well

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

        Exactly.

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

      How many goals from him so far?

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

      possible

      Haaland tho.

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

      Haaland cappers are the real winners.

    6. Sun Jihai

      Son cappers

    7. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      Diaz cappers real winners

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

      Fair play to Jesus cappers it was a ballsey move and if it comes off as a salah capper I won’t begrudge it. I’ll be sick tho!!

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

    Salah to Diaz?

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

      I'm on it since GW1 and it worked out well so far.

      1. sunzip14
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        me too!

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

          Same

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

    Bloomin’ Mark jinxed Salah!

  4. M2.0
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ditch Salah for Haaland this week or wait?

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

      Keeping Salah for next home game, then assess

  5. Bushido
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Played my wildcard only for the website to crash -_- ,
    Plan to swap:
    1. Greenwood to Kane so that I'll have Jesus, Kane and Halaand up front.
    2. Cancelo to trent
    3. Maddison to Grob
    4. Son to Bernado Silva

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

    Salah blanking in a 9-0 home win is just funny!

    Missed so many chances too, one of those days...

    Non-owners/cappers buy a few lottery tickets!

    1. jimmyabs1987
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sitters as well

    2. gart888
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      At least I didn't take a hit to bring him in, like Havertz blanking in the 7-0 win last year.

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

    I statedGW4 wasgoing to be crazy 🙂

    What is your score?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You stated a few things about Haaland too 🙂

      Remind us how many goals has he scored this season already 😉

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

        I give it to you.

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

      You state so many things that one of them is bound to be correct.

    3. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      When you state a lot of things, one of them is going to be right at some point

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

      Site is down but prob gonna be 55ish with baps, had salah(c) too. 3 to go so ntb tbh 🙂

  8. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Absolute genius from Salah non-cappers. Sheep punished 😎

    1. jimmyabs1987
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hardly absolute sheep is it? 9-0! In the same game next time salah scores 5

      1. gart888
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, can't regret the decision, just an unfortunate result.

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

      I am hoping a Jesus C hat trick

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

      Come on mate it is 9:0 just bad luck …

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

      What you on about - sheep? It was the right captain call, just didn’t return…happens!

    5. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Oh dear lol at you

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

      86% of sheep in the mud

  9. jimmyabs1987
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I’m livid about salah

    Also livid I didn’t take the -4 of Foden to Diaz as new Diaz would haul

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

      Hindsight. So why didn’t you do the move then if you knew Diaz would haul

  10. Del Griffith
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    The only logical answer is that Salah captained Haaland

  11. JuanTP
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Took advice on ditching Kdb or Haland.

    Ditched Haland and commented 'hattrick incoming '.

    FML

    1. JuanTP
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

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

    Rough with Mo (C)

    Pretty happy with 51 with Saka, Martinelli, Jesus, Kulu & Trippier to go.

  13. jacob1989
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

  14. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

      Average

      1. Pukki Party

        3 years, 4 months ago

        This is the correct answer

    6. sunzip14
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      27 would be good

  24. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

      2

    3. Randaxus
      • 4 Years

      I picked Ederson I hate myself.

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

      1 point I think.

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

    tbh Salah just seems less involved this season...thinking of bringing Diaz instead.

  28. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    70 after baps with 4 to go

    Will take it after Salah Cap fail
