Four more Premier League matches get underway at 15:00 BST this afternoon.

They include the fixture that many Fantasy managers are banking on – maybe more than hope in expectation – being a one-sided bloodbath: Manchester United v Burnley.

TEAM NEWS

Ruben Amorim makes one change from the team that drew at Fulham last weekend, with Diogo Dalot coming in for Patrick Dorgu.

Benjamin Sesko is only among the substitutes as visiting boss Scott Parker named an unchanged XI from the win over Sunderland.

Also sticking with the same line-ups from Gameweek 2 are the head coaches of Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth for their encounter in north London.

The headline team news from the 3pm kick-offs comes from Molineux, where the sought-after Jorgen Strand Larsen is absent.

Also missing is injured £4.0m defender Ki-Jana Hoever.

Hwang Hee-chan instead leads the line for Wolverhampton Wanderers, who also bring in Jackson Tchatchoua, Santiago Bueno, Hugo Bueno and Andre.

Matt Doherty, Jeanricner Bellegarde and David Moller Wolfe drop to the bench.

Beto is preferred to Thierno Barry up top for Everton, who also welcome back Vitaliy Mykolenko to their Premier League XI after his midweek recovery from injury.

Tim Iroegbunam makes way.

Finally, at the Stadium of Light, the hosts bring in Nordi Mukiele and Enzo Le Fee for the injured Dan Ballard and the benched Simon Adingra.

Brentford are unchanged.

      I made score boy error of Gordon in before game as looking replacement for Palmer
      after taking (-4) hit to get Pedro in GW 3 before price went up.

      GW1 / GW2 disaster - GW3 starting on (-8) but I'm loving FPL my worse ever
      start in 14 years as I enter my 15th starting from a lofty 7,467,022 played
      two chips BB & WC back fired. (lol)

      Now from GW4 start to look to claw things back (lol)

    Lesson learned, don't buy United players. Unless their name is Bruno Fernandes.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      Amorim have a body language of a beaten man.
      Wouldn’t be surprised if after this job he’ll go fishing for 12 months.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 15 days ago

        He made his bed early by saying he wouldn't change his tactics. Seems like his tactics aren't going to work in the PL

      2. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 15 days ago

        You should take the job. They'd surely benefit from your vast football knowledge and exerience.....

        Amad having the best of the chances

      • Thanos
        • 4 Years
        3 months, 15 days ago

        Boomo has to stop passing and start shooting. He doesn’t have the quality of Wissa finishers in this United team.

      • chocolove
        • 15 Years
        3 months, 15 days ago

        Amad. Lol

        2 from 2

        Any good?

        Johnson and Bruno.

        Dorgu no show so far... Would give me 9 playing tomorrow.

      • Not again Shirley

        3 months, 15 days ago

        Cunha to Salah? Or bring in JP for SL?

      • ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 15 days ago

        Bruno 12 defcons

      • Moon Dog
          3 months, 15 days ago

          Bruno has 12 defcon already.

          +4pts for captainers.

          INSANE

          1. F4L
            • 11 Years
            3 months, 15 days ago

            season keeper if ive seen one

          2. chocolove
            • 15 Years
            3 months, 15 days ago

            Season keeper

        • F4L
          • 11 Years
          3 months, 15 days ago

          the popular trio of United mids have had one of the most cursed starts to a season i have ever seen. the fact there isnt one attacking return between them by now is mind-blowing

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 9 Years
            3 months, 15 days ago

            Looking at the quality of that team, i am surprised you are mind blown.

            1. F4L
              • 11 Years
              3 months, 15 days ago

              i get your point but....
              bruno pass to dorgu post
              cunha world class save by raya
              cunha "fouled" by saliba, good shout for pen
              cunha post
              cunha world class save by leno
              bruno pen miss
              mbeumo loses assist for yoro goal cause he mistimes his header
              bruno loses chance at second pen (alright fine, can see why)
              mount post set up by mbeumo
              amad misses huge chance set up by mbeumo

              and thats just the standout ones

              and now cunha injured. just how it goes

          2. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years
            3 months, 15 days ago

            Mbeumo should have had about 4 assists this season so far

            1. Zilla
              • 8 Years
              3 months, 15 days ago

              Yep Cunha should have had 2 goals too, very unlucky for owners.

              1. x.jim.x
                • 11 Years
                3 months, 15 days ago

                Bruno 3 pens

        • Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          3 months, 15 days ago

          Zirkzee 😮

        • Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          3 months, 15 days ago

          If they could finish this United team look decent again. More like Arsenal, less like Fulham.

        • RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 months, 15 days ago

          Anyone hit that WC Button yet?

          1. Thanos
            • 4 Years
            3 months, 15 days ago

            Most likely

          2. Konstaapeli
            • 9 Years
            3 months, 15 days ago

            Nope. No one yet.

            1. RICICLE
              • 3 Years
              3 months, 15 days ago

              Nice

        • Make FPL Casual Again
          • 7 Years
          3 months, 15 days ago

          Cunha to Gakpo looks easy

        • Gazwaz80
          • 6 Years
          3 months, 15 days ago

          Bruno smashing the baps also…

          1. Moon Dog
              3 months, 15 days ago

              Fingers in all the pies

            • Herger
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              3 months, 15 days ago

              Extremely unlucky the penalty was cancelled as well by all accounts

          2. putana
            • 7 Years
            3 months, 15 days ago

            they just make up defcon for bruno. How is he on 12 already

          3. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            3 months, 15 days ago

            Man, lucky I didn't cap Cunha but my Man Utd reliant FH is looking pretty terrible.
