Five more Premier League matches get underway at 3pm BST today, following on from Aston Villa and Newcastle United at lunchtime.

The most interesting team news comes from Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea make six changes from last weekend – yet Kepa Arrizabalaga (£4.7m) keeps his place in goal. Instead, it’s the opposing team that has changed stopper, as Brighton and Hove Albion have replaced the slightly hurt Jason Steele (£3.9m) with Robert Sanchez (£4.5m).

Although Ben Chilwell (£6.0m) starts for Chelsea, Joao Felix (£7.5m) is benched and Kai Havertz (£7.5m) won’t be taking part at all.

The Seagulls’ midfield trio Kaoru Mitoma (£5.7m), Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m) and Solly March (£5.2m) all start, as does Pervis Estupinan (£4.8m).

For Everton, Neal Maupay (£5.7m) comes in for Ellis Simms (£4.5m) and Vitalii Mykolenko (£4.1m) replaces the hurt Seamus Coleman (£4.3m). Opponents Fulham start Andreas Pereira (£4.3m).

Southampton’s sole change brings Joe Aribo (£5.0m) in for Mohamed Elyounoussi (£5.1m) whilst visitors Crystal Palace haven’t tweaked the XI that destroyed Leeds United 5-1 last Sunday. That means Michael Olise (£5.5m) and Eberechi Eze (£5.4m) begin proceedings.

Harry Kane (£11.7m) and Son Heung-min (£11.6m) start for unchanged Spurs, as does attacking wing-back Pedro Porro (£4.8m). They’re against Bournemouth and forward Dominic Solanke (£5.5m).

Finally, the usual names like Ivan Toney (£7.8m), David Raya (£4.9m), Rico Henry (£4.6m) and Ben Mee (£5.1m) start for Brentford at Wolves. Their hosts make Pedro Sarbia (£5.2m) the only change from the side which beat Chelsea 1-0.

    Why was Sane punched?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Mane played poorly and took it out on Sane

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I thought Mane punched him as Sane was quite selfish

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Thought it was because if the stupid looking facial hair

    Ake benching was inevitable.

  6. Bubz

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years

  7. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Save the goals for next week Eze!

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Luckily went Eze over Olise.

      Despite playing deeper he is more of a goal threat.

    1. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Unbelievably, no. Anonymous goals scorers with anonymous assisters. Like the worst possible outcome.

  25. Rainer
