Wake up! There are two more Premier League matches to come today.

The goal-starved 3pm kick-offs may have been a good advert for a Saturday afternoon trip to the garden centre but the penultimate game of the day will, hopefully, be a bit spicier.

It’s West Ham United v Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium, where kick-off is at 5.30pm BST.

TEAM NEWS

No side’s games have seen more goals than those involving West Ham United this season (12).

Their boss, Graham Potter, makes one change to the side that beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 in Gameweek 3.

It’s seemingly enforced, as Niclas Fullkrug was a doubt for this match with a calf issue and drops to the bench.

Crysencio Summerville comes in for a start.

As for Spurs, Thomas Frank hands a debut to Xavi Simons following his recent move.

Mathys Tel and Lucas Bergvall also start as Rodrigo Bentancur, Richarlison and Brennan Johnson make way. International exertions may have played a part in those decisions.

LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Hermansen, Diouf, Kilman, Mavropanos, Walker-Peters, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Fernandes, Paqueta, Bowen, Summerville.

Subs: Areola, Julio, Wilson, Fullkrug, Guilherme, Magassa, Wan-Bissaka, Potts, Irving.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, Spence, Van de Ven, Romero, Porro, Sarr, Palhinha, Bergvall, Simons, Tel, Kudus.

Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Richarlison, Udogie, Johnson, Odobert, Bentancur, Davies, Kolo Muani.

    Repost - Plan was to BB this: Dubravka (NFO) Rogers (sun) Diouf (CRY) Andersen (BRE)

    Would you still do it considering Rogers and Diouf performances lately?

    Never watches a minute of football in my life before mates at work asked us to join FPL. I remember, not taking FPL points into consideration, David Silva being a magician in my opinion.
    That's all...

    Late to the party. My 0-0 prediction for Fulham - Leeds wasn't apparently far. Almost a perfect FPL evening with Andersen and Rodon. Rodon also one away from DC points.

      I might have to retract my comment below. Palmer out = Enzo might be an option

      That being said, Semenyo is the one

      Grealish away vs Liverpool soon + missing GW 8 (vs Manchester City). Palmer comeback, slow re-introduction according to Maresca, but it will still affect Enzo.

      C or D out of those.

    Buendia starting every pre-season match, often assisting/scoring, but then getting limited minutes (20-30 minute subs) in PL games - just the way the world works. Seeing him in the starting eleven today, Guessand and Elliot both on the bench, was a surprise.
