A busy Sunday of Premier League football gets underway with three matches at 2pm BST.

Arsenal kick off their Double Gameweek 33 with a trip to Ipswich Town.

Ben White, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Leandro Trossard get recalls, with Jurrien Timber, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Thomas Partey dropping out.

That means Bukayo Saka starts in the Premier League for the first time since Gameweek 17.

Kieran McKenna, meanwhile, makes just one change to his Ipswich side. Jacob Greaves for Cameron Burgess is the only alteration.

Liam Delap continues on the bench.

Marco Silva makes just two changes to his Fulham line-up in west London.

Kenny Tete and Raul Jimenez come into the starting XI, replacing Timothy Castagne and Rodrigo Muniz, who is absent from the matchday squad.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has made seven changes to a losing side, following Thursday’s 2-1 defeat to Legia Warsaw.

Robert Sanchez, Trevoh Chalobah, Levi Colwill, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Noni Madueke and Pedro Neto start.

Out go Filip Jorgensen, Josh Acheampong, Tosin Adarabiyo, Benoit Badiashile, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jadon Sancho and Christopher Nkunku.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim makes five alterations after Thursday’s last-gasp win over Lyon.

Victor Lindelof, Tyler Fredricson and Harry Amass come into the backline, with Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Diogo Dalot dropping to the bench.

Further forward, Kobbie Mainoo and Christian Eriksen replace Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes.

Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Vitor Pereira makes two changes to his line-up: Santiago Bueno and Matheus Cunha start, with Matt Doherty and the injured Jean-Ricner Bellegarde the men replaced.

*Jose Sa has been injured in the warm-up. Dan Bentley replaces him in goal, with Tom King now starting on the bench.

    Problem with Arsenal is that you have many players who can score and assist.

    Trossard, Merino, Odegaard, Martinelli, Saka etc.

    Don't know why I bother captaining double game week players, it never seems to work out.

      2. Zladan

        What did he say?

        1. Glad He Ate Her
          • 5 Years
          8 months, 11 days ago

          Something along the lines of "if Saka had wheels, it would've been his assist"

  14. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    8 months, 11 days ago

    Bodes well for an Arsenal Cleanie

  15. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    8 months, 11 days ago

    Saka DGW over

  16. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    8 months, 11 days ago

    Seems a lil harsh but fair enough after replay. What a stupid tackle.

    Game surely won, Saka sub soon?

  17. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    8 months, 11 days ago

    Just take Saka off. Not worth the risk Mikel

  18. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    8 months, 11 days ago

    oh no Saka

  19. g40steve
    • 7 Years

    Reposted previously posted after first goal
    Saka owner here but not captain
    Not fussed either way if the assist was given
    But what do we think of 1 goal contribution point in FPL next season in instances like just now

    (2)

  21. Wolfman180

    As a Saka Captainer thats just damn unlucky if he's injured

  26. BOATIES FC

    • 7 Years

    As a Saka TCer I'm not enjoying the game much so far...

  27. Punned It
      8 months, 11 days ago

      Cheers, Davis, really needed that one. Can't Saka just do a quick own goal as well, just to really bust my score?

    • Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 11 days ago

      Ipswich fans are booing Saka for having his ankle stood on

      Thick bunch

    • g40steve
      • 7 Years
