Five more Premier League matches follow on from Manchester City’s shock defeat to Brentford in the lunchtime kick-off:

After the Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne captaincy fails, there’s a chance for Mohamed Salah backers to make some ground today.

The Egyptian starts in a Liverpool side showing only one change from the Gameweek 15 win over Tottenham Hotspur, as Ibrahima Konate misses out and Joe Gomez comes in at centre-half.

Nathan Jones starts his Southampton reign by bringing in Duje Caleta-Car, Adam Armstrong and Romeo Lavia for Theo Walcott, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and the injured Juan Larios.

In north London, Antonio Conte makes two changes to the Spurs team that lost at home to Liverpool in their last Premier League game.

The fit-again Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski both return, replacing the benched Yves Bissouma and the injured Ryan Sessegnon.

Willy Gnonto for the injured Jack Harrison is Jesse Marsch’s only alteration.

There’s only one change between the two sides at the London Stadium and it’s an enforced one at that: Luke Thomas replaces the injured James Justin for Leicester City, who take on unchanged West Ham United.

Bournemouth’s two changes from Gameweek 15 are in defence, with Jordan Zemura and Jack Stephens recalled, Ryan Fredericks dropping to the bench and Chris Mepham suspended.

Everton also make two alterations from last weekend as Nathan Patterson and Neal Maupay replace Seamus Coleman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The latter is out injured.

Forest players who impressed in midweek are rewarded for their displays as Jesse Lingard, Joe Worrall, Willy Boly and Renan Lodi oust Steve Cook, Scott McKenna, Neco Williams and Emmanuel Dennis from Steve Cooper’s XI.

Palace are unchanged but the fit-again Odsonne Edouard is back on the bench.

    Finally get to sell Doherty. This is gonna be sweet. Cheers for literally nothing.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

      He was about to score today but Bentancur got in his way!

    Damn,what is Potter doing with that line up.
    Broja,Gallagher on wing,Hall LWB...hope Mount get something here.

      Hall looked class against City in the cup. Also I'm pretty convinced Cucurella is not a professional footballer. Brighton/City had Chelsea's pants down there.

    2. George Sillett

      Lewis Hall is a massive upgrade on Cucurella. Auba has been rubbish for the last 3 games & Gallagher deserves his place. Additionally lots of injuries and players bang out of form

    Just sold Zaha and Cucu. I feel relieved

    1. Salarrivederci

      Kept Zaha. Benched Castagne. Captained Haaland.
      Og and Pickford is my keeper

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ouch

  4. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    37 points so far, love it!

  5. Sun Jihai

    Newcastle defence EO 125% so Trippier only owners want Chelsea to score

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Points over rank!

  6. Bushwhacker

    Need some Sandcastle points here .. Tripps and Almiron come on

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mendy back

  8. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    All you excited Almiron owners, prepare for disappointment.

    I bought him this week

    Initial thoughts on a team post World Cup?

    Mine:

    Ramsdale - Ward
    Cancelo - Robertson - Trippier - Castagne - Patterson
    Salah - Saka - Andreas - Summerville - Bailey
    Haaland - Kane - Wilson

  10. George Sillett

    Unbelievable yet another Chelsea injury. RLC now
