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

      Thining it'll be Walker rested, Cancelo RB, Gomes LB

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

      I'll be giving him this one game but if they concede again I am going to have to consider moving him on at that price. TAA has earned a stay of execution for now, perhaps Liverpool will kick on from here but Newcastle will be a big test given their issues in midfield

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

    Hope kulu goes huge tomorrow

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years

    Ramsdale Ward
    TAA Cancelo James Trippier Neco

    Would do Ramsdale to Sanchez, Salah to Sterling(?), Neto to Harrison/Rodrigo, Archer to Toney, DaSilva to Andreas

  8. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

      67 with Salah as catain.

      • 16 Years

      They should have a minutes silence at the start. In memory of Mark Suthern's FPL career

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

          • 16 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He's failed to adapt.

      Oh how did my reply get here. Clearly been hacked 😆

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

    Ward > Sanchez (-4) paid off already.

    Shame about the Rodrigo blank, when I was also looking at Gross too but kinda knew it would be a toughie today.

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

      Well Iverson*. Ward still on bench.

  11. MADCHESTER UTD
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    From one salah captainer to millions of others; it’s gutting but just write it off. Don’t let it dampen your weekend. I maintain that it was a perfectly good decision to captain mo at home vs Bournemouth. If you’re happy by the deadline with your team (which I was) then what will be will be.

    1. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      All the good players captained him so no big deal. Only if you had captained havertz in the 7-0 last year when Salah banged 24 points will you know true punishment

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Or rage trade!

  13. Rainer

    Anyone know the Brighton BAPs?

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years

      Gross 3 Sanchez 2 1 doesn't matter

  14. Del Griffith

    Raya!!!! What a legend!!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  15. Arteta

      Wtf, I'll take it!

    2. AC/DC AFC

    3. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Have him so wont complain, but so many saves VS this everton is worrying

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

        Made 6 against Fulham too, not liking it myself either

        1. Free Hat
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ideally would like sanchez, but with the fix I really wouldnt like to change.
          Brigh are better, but could Backfire.

  16. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I captained Salah just moments before deadline. I feel like sheep.

    1. MADCHESTER UTD
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why? It was the obvious decision to make to captain mo. It’s got nothing to do with FOMO or YouTube videos; it was a perfectly understandable fantasy football decision. Millions are in the same boat. I’m gutted but If salah was home again to Bournemouth I’d do the same again

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

    Would you guys do Mendy and Mount to Sanchez and Sterling for free?
