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.

    2 BAPS for ederson, none for Raya 🙁

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Ouch some impressive last minute manipulation from the towers there

  2. Calculated Risks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Benched Grealish and Stones for Mitchell (8) and Pinnock (7)
    Quite happy with that altho Stones wouldn't have mattered

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Benched Shaw and Pinnock, but there was no way I'd play them this week. A Calculated Risk.

  3. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Last minute BAP adjustments?
    - Raya drops out of bonus (7 total)
    - Ederson jumps up to 2 bonus points
    - Haaland drops to 1 bonus point

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Robbed.

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

      Ederson 1 bap for each save 🙂

    3. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Haaland dropping to 1 bap is good for all you losers battling against Haaland cappers.

      Fpl towers were so in shock that he managed to keep a clean sheet that they threw a few baps his way.

  4. N00B
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    What a bad decision. I chose to play Raya instead of Ederson.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Nøob

  5. sunzip14
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    8erson

  6. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Ederson finally keeps a CS with 1.78 xGC 😆

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah when he was conceding from xgc of .1×× in previous games

  7. StoneMountain
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Grealish cameo costs me 10 points:( Mee stranded on the bench.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Cost me 30 Dunk points

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

      I know the feeling, I lost out on Shaw, and this guy somehow managed to get a 2nd benched slot Eze on his team.

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

    pinnock 7 pointer some small consolation for 3 point Grealo & Alveraz.
    so much for going differential!

  9. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Ederson non-owners in the mud 😉

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Raya says hi

  10. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Thanks Ederson. You owe us owners that clean sheet!!

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

      2 cherries on top to boot.

  11. JELLYFISH
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Villa fan wanting an arsenal win with Steele and Mitoma in my team. Conflicting….

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Europa / Conference, it's all the same. Too much of a distraction I think for a club like Villa at this stage.

  12. Our Tiny Windows
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Come on 1-0 Brighton

  13. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Alvarez plays 90 mins but does nothing in a 3-0 win. Beyond annoying.

  14. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Raya and Henry both on 29bps, 1 bp away from bonus - FPL towers sort it out!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Gosh, Pinnock’s stolen the point outright. Only 4 behind Mee (who everyone and his dog seems to have)

  15. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Mahrez to Gundogan -4?

    Yes or no???

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Only for a -8

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

      What could possibly go wrong.

  16. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Nice Raya off my bench 😆

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Me too and mee in my starting 11 thanks to zinchenko

      PEACHY

  17. SomeoneKnows
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone tempted in getting Godugan? or too scared from pep roulette?

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He was the last player to haul, what could possibly go wrong...

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

      I think he could be a good punt for those chasing.

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This. Him and Mahrez.

  18. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Mitoma to Gundogan is tempting!! (Have Mac-10)

  19. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Lots of Hope from my Differential Martinelli

  20. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    A. Kepa/Raya > De Gea
    B. Rashford > Gundo if injury confirmed
    C. Both for -4

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

      I’ve already done Kepa > DDG (Steele owner). DDG looking like he could rise tonight so I’d do it.
      Wait on Rashford news before pressing the button on Gundo is my advice

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      C for me.

  21. JELLYFISH
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Feeling relieved that I didn’t take that hit for Mahrez right now.

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Spend most matches hoping stuff doesn’t happen and Mahrez getting a haul was definitely up there

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

        Yep, I thought he had a good chance of a haul too.

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

    Got Estupinan and Mitoma. No Arsenal... Squeeky bum time.

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Loads don't have Arsenal.

      1. Our Tiny Windows
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        My mini league rivals have arsenal. Need a bus.

  23. bialk
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    What a player Goaldogan!

  24. Vinyl78LP
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Ederson 2 joke baps for 2 'saves' one of which he didn't even touch as only hit bar.

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      You get bps for shots on target too, you must have missed his over head kick...

  25. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    So if Arsenal lose, City just have to beat Chelsea? Could be high speed roulette spinning for last two matches

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Last home game is 2nd of the DGW37, will want to put on a show. If they make the UCL final, there is a week between final League game, FA Cup and UCL final.

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        *a week between each of those games, plenty of time to rest.

      2. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, you might be right, they’re a fit team and plenty of risk. Besides, Arsenal should win today.

  26. Scapegoat Salah

    2 years, 7 months ago

    My mate who doesn’t even follow football, accidentally put Gundogan in 2 weeks ago, thinking he was Grealish…

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Team link?

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

    Not even a minute in, and already an injury.

  28. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Thinking off removing that frustrating Grealish, what do you think?

  29. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    The ref has left his cards at home!
