There are three Premier League games on Sunday with a double-header up first at 14:00 BST.

Brentford host West Ham United, while Everton meet Manchester City at Goodison Park.

Pep Guardiola makes four changes from the 1-1 draw in Madrid, as Aymeric Laporte, Julian Alvarez, Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden come in for John Stones, Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish, all of whom are substitutes.

That means Erling Haaland leads the line, his sixth successive Premier League start.

Everton make just one alteration from their 5-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion, as Mason Holgate comes in at left-back in place of Vitalii Mykolenko.

At the Gtech Community Stadium, Ivan Toney misses out due to a minor hamstring injury. Zanka and Frank Onyeka also drop out, with Mikkel Damsgaard, Kevin Schade and Yoane Wissa coming in.

As for West Ham, who will be guaranteed Premier League survival if they win, they make a whopping seven changes, with Thursday’s huge Europa Conference League semi-final second leg against AZ Alkmaar in mind.

Only Lukasz Fabianksi, Nayef Aguerd, Angelo Ogbonna and Tomas Soucek keep their place from last Sunday’s 1-0 win over Manchester United. Declan Rice, Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma are among those benched, while Michail Antonio misses out entirely with a calf injury.

    Haaland yet to touch the ball 😆

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years

      Good, need a blank

  2. lilmessipran

    Never been to a game in England but that very loud ding dong sound in the stadium (airport or station like) must be very distracting for players?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Just a guess but they are probably used to it after the first 15 times

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

    No quality balls into the box, going to be change’s

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Kdb to come in.. deliver a quality ball for Haaland's first touch and goal

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      This game needs some Grealish

  4. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Everton looking difficult to break down here. Cue KDB 2nd half

  5. SpaceCoyote97

    Alvarez worth a punt for next gameweek?

    1. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      poor so far

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Surely he's only playing because they're resting key players for the Madrid tie. No reason to rest anyone for the DGW as they'll need the points to seal the title unless Arsenal drop some

  6. boc610
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    alvarez having a stinker so far

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      His form continues

  7. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Mahrez and Gundo very poor so far

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It's like the day after...

      The Eurovision shindig

  8. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal can go back top today with a home win.

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Ah yes, because home wins are worth 5 points

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        3 will do it atm.

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Funny, every seems to think City have won the league / have a huge lead but points are worth nothing until you've earned them

    2. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Quite a way to go for City yet.

    3. Mighty Banana

      I can win the lotto with the right numbers.

        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        No you can't, you're 12 yo.

          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Thank you Helsinki. Now for the public vote.

            1. Deulofail
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              HAhahaha

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

      IF city lose or draw

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

    Alvarez will be off soon too many mistakes

  10. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I bet Sanchez starts this or next game.

    Steele deserves a rest after his goal and overall performance last week.

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    McNeil everywhere

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He is like my rash

  12. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    So is any City mid worth it next GW?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Based on everyone suggesting Alvarez, Foden and Mahrez doing nothing special, that would suggest Grealish owners will be alright to hold

  13. boc610
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    alvarez getting worse by the minute

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

      Shocking

  14. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Grealish owners, what are you doing with him? I've got a feeling that if I swap him for Gundo / Mahrez, they'll get benched and Grealish start 😆

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping

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

      Keeping reluctantly
      Have rashford/ake in my team

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Just mentioned my thoughts above. He's pretty likely to be first choice and only rested for Wednesday. I'm keeping and playing and expectant he gets 2 starts.

      Of course this is Pep and I may be wrong, but that's the way it is

  15. Bobby Crush
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    nothing coming off for alvarez

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

      Making lots of errors

  16. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Great clearance by Holgate, looked a certain goal...

  17. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    God damn it Holgate

  18. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Holgate half shanks it from v close range.

  19. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Gundogan G

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Mahrez assist

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years

      Great improvisation.

  20. g40steve

    2 years, 7 months ago

    Ilkaaaaay

  26. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Hmmm Gundogan again. Might be worth a punt next GW.

  27. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    So, no Toney, no Stones, no Dalot, no Rashford and so far no Murphy.

    This is going well, then.

    And, of course, last week when I needed a Dalot no show to get jam To points he comes on for a 1 point cameo. Yesterday, no show of course.

  28. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Wow

  29. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago
