The weekend’s Premier League action continues on Sunday when West Ham United host league-leaders Arsenal in a London derby.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

David Moyes makes three changes from last weekend’s 1-0 win over Fulham, as Thilo Kehrer, Lucas Paqueta and Said Benrahma replace Angelo Ogbonna, Pablo Fornals and Danny Ings.

The only survivors from Thursday night in Genk are Vladimir Coufal, Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen.

As for Arsenal, they make just the one alteration and it’s enforced, as Kieran Tierney comes in for the injured Oleksandr Zinchenko. The 14.1% owned defender misses out as a precaution due to a tight groin.

Elsewhere, Eddie Nketiah is among the substitutes having missed the past month with an ankle problem.

GAMEWEEK 31 LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Kehrer, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Anang, Johnson, Emerson, Downes, Fornals, Lanzini, Cornet, Ings

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus

Subs: Turner, Kiwior, Walters, Smith Rowe, Jorginho, Vieira, Nelson, Trossard, Nketiah

    I can’t ever get my bench right. Have Maddison ahead of Outtara on the bench and Shaw in my starting XI. Maddison could have had a haul and Outtara played 11mins lol

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

      Hopefully Shaw plays

    2. Tic Tacs
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I hope Shaw doesn't, I have Moreno benched... but I think Shaw will start.

    What would you rather choose?

    A: a long but dull life
    B: a short but exciting life

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

      C: a long and exciting life

      Unfortunately, nobody can ever make this decision in reality

      Don't want to be blown on the steel breeze, eh?

    ML leader has Watkins 1st sub for Zinchenko!

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Unlucky. Who benches Watkins??

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Exactly, thinking the benching of Watkins must of been a mistake/oversight

      2. Sure You Did
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        There are people out there who don’t have him. That’s worse.

  4. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Ake, Trippier, Zinch gets me Chilwell 1, 1, Pervis 2 🙁

    1. Sure You Did
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Humble brag.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Ah did you not buy Moreno in the end?

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

    How does this look for a FH first draft

    Martinez (Iverson)
    Robertson - TAA - Moreno (Botman/Kilman)
    Eze (or Bowen?) - Salah - Saka - Martinelli (Andreas)
    Jesus - Toney - Watkins

    Better to have 3 arsenal attack with no defender cover and double up Liverpool defence as the 3? (Not obvious who third Liverpool attacker would be)

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I don’t agree with Martinez/Moreno and Toney. You either think Toney is scoring or not.

      I think I’m getting Neto in goal.

      1. romperstomper
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Not necessarily. I had march vs kepa yesterday and both did OK

        1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Too much Villa defence imo, but good luck

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

        Yep have changed to either Neto or Johnstone, kept Moreno and managed to squeeze in Kane for Toney

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

    Moreno the only attacking/differential defender option on FH?

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Dawson maybe but more of a set piece threat

  7. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    First Martinez, now zinko out. What the what. I am cursed

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      You have no cause to moan - I have Zinc and I also have Shaw. You have had two easy clean sheets with Martinez with Shaw on the sidelines. No doubt Shaw won't be fit for today - and even if he is, Forest will probably score.
      Over a season FPL luck evens out - deal with it.

      1. romperstomper
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        If this isn't the place to moan, where is?

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          😀
          I suppose that you have a point there!!

  8. Hits from the Bong
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Been out of the loop for a long time. Is 32 free hit, 33 wildcard, 34 bench boost.the popular plan?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'm going WC33 BB34 and FH at a later date

    2. Sure You Did
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      That is the most popular yes, or should be.

  9. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Zinchenko groin problems

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

    Zinchenko out next GW will be a blow for my team.

  11. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Early FH dilemmas:

    A) Trippier
    B) Alex Moreno
    C) Dawson
    D) Guehi

    1) Kane
    2) Olise (double up with Eze)
    3) Solanke

    1. Sure You Did
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      What is the question?

      1. ryacoo
