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

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

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

    Sabitzer potentially off for Eriksen could work in Brunos favour

    1. Shultan

      Hopefully pushes bruno upfront

    So pie boy didn't make it

      Pretty sure Lampard is a manager now.

      1. Dynamic Duos

        He may identify as one but that as far as that goes

    injuries piling up for United

    1. Hairy Potter

      Good job they've spent hundreds of millions on their squad over recent years so they can bring in international players as cover when needed.

        But but them wonderful Glazers never give them money ???

    Is there anything worse than one of your players missing a pen in FPL? The -2 to compound the missed + points is a stinker. Might be worth considering actively avoiding pen takers on FH32 at this rate lol.

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      after that one and the Salah Captain one a few weeks back i think you are right!

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Giving away pen should have similar minus points to getting the assist for a pen?

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        It does in Fanteam

    3. CABAYE4

      Think that’s 6 for the season for me now. This one particularly brutal as would have been G + A plus likely bonus for both.

    4. Mighty Quinn
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Poisoned chalice. Took both Salahs, Toney and Saka. doesn't feel great.

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Jon Walters pen miss and two own goals was pretty poor!

  6. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    Chin up all 'tis only a game.
    As a Southampton fan I'm rather looking forward to visiting some great cultural places I have not been before like cheerful Millwall, delightful Preston North End and indeed magnificent Rotherham and Watford.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years

      The Championship is great to visit, as long as it's followed by automated promotion.

      The Invincibles Lounge is lovely! Had a brilliant Sunday roast lunch there in 2012 and watched Leeds defeat PNE in a close contest.

      1. BeaversWithAttitude

        *at Deepdale.

    3. The Ilfordian

      We’ll welcome you at Watford. We almost made the mistake this year of trying to get promoted but realised in time that mid-table obscurity is a good way of getting a smattering of wins

    This Arsenal result reminded me of soooooooo many years of fail after fail. I remember when we developed Emirates and it was years and years of heatache. This season made me forget that a bit, but that result brought back the memories. Still it was a good season regardless.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah it's done now but good season

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus

      Such pessimism. If Everton can get a point at the Etihad why can't Arsenal?

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years

      Heartache is constantly having to fight relegation and your team losing more matches than they win. Regardless of whether you finish 1st or 2nd, Arsenal have had a good season and entertained the paying punters week in, week out.

  8. g40steve

    Sabitzer off Erik on

  9. FantasyTony

    Back from the London Stadium. Great atmosphere. Probably the best home display I've seen from about 25 minutes in.

    Arsenal started off really well but they once they started getting bullied, they fell off.

    Still only a penalty miss cost them points and I feel a bit sorry for Saka but they really lost control of the game. Draw was more than a fair result.

    Wow. Congrats Bruno owners.

  11. g40steve

    Shelvy needs to stay cemented to the bench every time he plays he gives the game away.
    No wonder NewC wanted rid.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      It was purely for financial reasons that he was sold. He was a few appearances from triggering a contract extension. Howe wanted to keep him for this season. I think we did well to get some cash for him though.

  12. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    How many mins is Martial gonna last then?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      15/20

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      45

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      More than De Gea it seems. Guess I deserve that.

  13. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Any word on why Shaw is missing?
    Was talked up as being fit and ready to start.

    1. Mirror Man
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I reckon he's got an injury.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Antony is painful to watch

      1. RichardNixon
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        He's a one trick pony. Open up onto his left foot in the corner of the box and try to curl it into the top corner. I can't remember the last time I saw him get one of those on target (probably in GW10 when he last scored)
