Following on from Arsenal’s victory in the north London derby, we’ve got five more Premier League matches taking place this afternoon:

(UK times)

The impact of the September internationals is being felt across the country, with a number of players either absent or benched as a result of their involvement with their nations over the last fortnight.

At Anfield, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez are all substitutes for Liverpool’s clash with Brighton.

Fabio Carvalho and Roberto Firmino instead start alongside Mohamed Salah in attack.

New Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has kept the tinkering to a minimum, making just one change from Graham Potter’s final starting XI as Albion manager a month ago.

It’s an enforced alteration, too, with Pervis Estupinan coming in for the ill Enock Mwepu.

Potter’s first Premier League line-up as Chelsea boss shows two changes from the side sent out against RB Salzburg.

Ben Chilwell and Wesley Fofana are back in the team, replacing the ill Marc Cucurella and the benched Cesar Azpilicueta.

There’s no Joachim Andersen in the Crystal Palace squad today, while Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jeffrey Schlupp drop to the bench.

Nathaniel Clyne, Odsonne Edouard and Michael Olise are all recalled to the Eagles’ line-up.

Aleksandar Mitrovic is fit enough to start for Fulham despite picking up a knock or two while representing Serbia but there are three enforced alterations with Willian and Kenny Tete injured and Joao Palhinha suspended.

In come Layvin Kurzawa, Nathaniel Chalobah, Daniel James and Kevin Mbabu, while Issa Diop is benched.

Callum Wilson returns to the Newcastle United starting XI in place of the injured Alexander Isak.

Sven Botman, Jacob Murphy and Sean Longstaff are also recalled as Matt Targett, Ryan Fraser and Joelinton have to make do with substitute rules.

The busiest manager of the day is Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl, who makes six changes from Saints’ last match.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles, £4.0m defender Juan Larios, Duje Caleta-Car, Joe Aribo, Stuart Armstrong and Sekou Mara are the players brought into the team.

Jordan Pickford, Seamus Coleman and Dwight McNeil replace Asmir Begovic, the injured Nathan Patterson and the surprisingly benched Anthony Gordon in Frank Lampard’s three alterations.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin misses out yet again.

Bournemouth make one change from the side that earned a draw at Newcastle in Gameweek 8.

Kieffer Moore is in for Ryan Christie, so it’ll be interesting to see where exactly Dominic Solanke lines up.

Visitors Brentford make two changes from the side that were well beaten by Arsenal last time around.

Mikkel Damsgaard and Shandon Baptiste are in for Josh Dasilva and Aaron Hickey.

    Sooo cursed with my keeper this year. Ward to Ramsdale to Pope and still not over 2 points in a single GW...that is insane

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yeah especially when they should have been against 10 men

  3. The Senate

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why would he be on any?

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I don't own him. That's a bonus

    3. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

  5. Bobby Digital

  8. ☈☾

    Pool are shite

    Eras come to an end!!!

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Klopp is done

    2. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They went on that terrible run a year or two back and then went on an insane winning spree. Just wait till it's underway and don't try to time it. Plenty of other good players to pick.

    3. One for All
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Crap 2 wins our of 7 games. Can't believe I bought in Salah and Taa on a wildcard!

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Salah over the top

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

    Now surely PL is out of contention for Pool. Hoping United can bring it on tomorrow and win at City. Unlikely to happen but still hoping!!!

  10. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Lovely 8pts for Tripper

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

      Was he subbed off before the goal?

      1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes.

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

          Beautiful. Didn’t realise when I saw Fulham had scored

          1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Surprise !

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

    TAA on 0 points lmao

  12. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If we finally dare not to bring Salah from the start, then we will win again. The whole game is so unbalanced and has been for months. Anyone who says Salah is a world-class player at the moment has no idea about football.

    1. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tbh he’s looked crap

  13. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Premier League has reached entropy. Impossible to predict anything at this stage.

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

      Why? Which result is so shocking today?

    2. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Halaand to score

    3. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah this matches after an IB are quite unpredictable

    4. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You thought Salah would score big? Lol couch time tomorrow mate

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

      Haaland scoring at least is predictable

  14. Johan Cryuff
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    TAA clowned his owners lol

  15. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    TAA Price drop tonight ?

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

      No idea how he’s only fallen 0.1m so far

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

    Chelsea WIN. God we needed that. Very lucky with Silva.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ref gave you that win Hazz I am afraid

  17. Critical Observer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    TAA = Danny Mills only with a lush mane.

  18. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Picked Iversen over pope this gw. Now we wait.

    1. Feloh
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same here.

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      +1

  19. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Took a hit to get Toney and Maddison in for Jesus and Gibbs-White.

    Should have made no transfers at all. Then I would have two to get rid of Trent and bring in Maddison.

    1. Saka Punch
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah I'm really learning this season to do less transfer-wise, as I would that kind of thing all the time last season.

    2. Sloane426
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Never take hits unless you can’t field 11

      1. Aksekladden
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Stupid

  20. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Freaking hell ofc Toney over Kane and Jesus on a WC, never learn

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

    Solanke > Toney 😛

  22. Viprin
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Pickford so close to 1 bps

  23. One for All
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Mitrovic injured?

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yea

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

      1. One for All
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cool thanks guys

  24. Heiro
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I am seeing two assists for Willock everywhere but the fantasy app.

    Was it two assists and will it be corrected on fantasy?

    1. Aksekladden
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Two assist, 100%

  25. -GK22-
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Think I’ll wildcard in GW 10

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Aldo considering, a bit has changed this week

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah I think the Mitrovic injury has swayed it for me. and TAA once again doing nothing.

  26. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Trossard sellers where are you?... c'mon all the Trossard to Maddison and Trossard to Zaha managers show yourselves...

    1. Johan Cryuff
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They don’t exist atm ha ha

    2. gribude
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Trossard to Son actually here...but before last GW and 38pts already in pocket so if that's count I'm one of them

  27. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What an absolute disgrace if that Trent assist isnt added. His corner went in off Webster. Its so straight forward!

    1. Treadstone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Game details say that Sanchez punched it onto Webster.No assist if thats correct.

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He didn't though. He completely misses it. At best he gets the faintest of touches which shouldn't make any difference as didnt alter the direction of the ball.

  28. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Part 1 of benching Pope for Iversen has worked out great. Now we wait for Part 2 and 3 on Monday.

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ah maaate where’s the credit

      1. Scalper
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        But yes it’s a calculated risk. Was feeling kind of regretful at 4-0 but now lookin good.

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

      Kind of sounded like Ward starts but we’ll see!

  29. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bloody hell. Talk about a ref giving Chelsea all 3 points

  30. Josh.E
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How Diaz hasn’t dropped in the last 2 weeks is appalling!
