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.

      I got called out a few pages back because I asked for more from Odegaard and White (I'm a West Ham fan)

      I've always kept West Ham players out of my team (last year was an exception) due to if we do well, happy man. If we do badly but my assets in FPL do well, happier than the sad man I would've been if we had just lost

    The penalty outcome was actually very good if you own Martinelli but not Saka, despite losing an assist
    Saka scores, you get 3, the league average gets 4.9
    Saka misses, you get 0, the league average gets -1.4

          Martinelli would be on max bonus so it's pretty important in this context...

            Would still be better off even if Martinelli got 3 bonus with it and Saka got no bonus
            You get 3+3 bonus from Martinelli = 6 points
            Average gets Martinelli EO 48% * 6 + Saka EO 69% * 5 = 6.4
