Four more Premier League matches follow on from the Merseyside derby, all of them kicking off at 3pm BST.

TEAM NEWS

There’s no Murillo for Nottingham Forest today as Ange Postecoglou’s side travel to Turf Moor.

There are three changes in all for the Tricky Trees from last weekend, with Oleksandr Zinchenko, Douglas Luiz and Dilane Bakwa coming in.

Ibrahima Sangare and Callum Hudson-Odoi make way.

Florentino replaces the suspended Lesley Ugochukwu for Burnley.

At the Amex, Xavi Simons is the latest victim of Thomas Frank’s rotation. Also being culled are Pape Matar Sarr and Djed Spence.

Destiny Udogie, Joao Palhinha and Wilson Odobert all start.

Brighton make four changes with Brajan Gruda, Carlos Baleba, Ferdi Kadioglu and Yasin Ayari all starting.

James Milner and Danny Welbeck are benched, while Jack Hinshelwood and Maxim De Cuyper miss out with injuries.

Jorgen Strand Larsen is only fit enough for substitute duty at Molineux.

Jose Sa, Jackson Tchatchoua, Jeanricner Bellegarde and Fer Lopez oust Sam Johnstone, Hugo Bueno, Andre and Hwang Hee-chan.

Leeds are unchanged.

Finally, at the London Stadium, Crystal Palace’s sole alteration sees Adam Wharton return from a groin injury and replace Jefferson Lerma in midfield.

West Ham have made two tweaks. Alphonse Areola replaces Mads Hermansen in goal, while Callum Wilson comes in for the suspended Tomas Soucek.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 1 day ago

    12. Moon Dog
        3 months, 1 day ago

        Richards 6
        Guehi 5
        Lacroix 2

        That's why I'm playing extra for Lacroix 😎

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 months, 1 day ago

          That's why I'm laying even more for Munoz too

        2. All Hail K
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 months, 1 day ago

          Tell that to the Salah owners.

      • wiseguy
        • 4 Years
        3 months, 1 day ago

        So many goals and none of them involving my players. Ah well at least 5 at the back is dead already.

        1. All Hail K
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 months, 1 day ago

          A lot of football still to come mate.

      • Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 1 day ago

        Realistically, it's only 13 pts on BB at this rate ... not great but probably not a disaster?

        1. Traction Engine Foot
          • 7 Years
          3 months, 1 day ago

          I thimk that's fine for a single GW.

        2. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 months, 1 day ago

          My bench is showing 0 pts from 2 atm. Glad that I didn't BB.

        3. GoonerSteve
          • 16 Years
          3 months, 1 day ago

          I will be glad to make 10.

      • Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 1 day ago

        C'mon Munoz grab a goal or assist

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 months, 1 day ago

          Even CS would do...

      • Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 1 day ago

        I'd like to WC my team, but I am very unsure who to get in. Thinking about -4 and TC Haaland as the other possibility.

      • RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 months, 1 day ago

        So glad I bench boosted Dubravka, Esteve, Diouf & Thiago, excellent form the lads so far ffs

      • Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years
        3 months, 1 day ago

        I have a very special relation with Salah. Whenever I start the season without him, he starts banging from GW1. Whenever I do, he goes quiet.

        1. Zalk
          • 14 Years
          3 months, 1 day ago

          The last season he started quietly by Salah's standards was 19/20...if you can call that quiet.

      • WiredWeasel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 1 day ago

        In the half time lull, any views on whether it's worth sticking with Ekitike? He looks like he's playing well, but I can see his minutes reduced to sub appearances with Isak as regular starter. Slot seems to prefer playing one or the other but not both.

        1. Von Lipwig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 months, 1 day ago

          One more week, then swap for Gyok

        2. Mr.K
          • 11 Years
          3 months, 1 day ago

          I think it's too early to conclude that he prefers playing one or the other but not both. With that said, I do think he's becoming less attractive but don't think there's a need to get rid of him asap or anything. I mean, he just scored a goal, so I do think it'd be a bit weird to say "nah, not worth sticking with him at this point!"

        Crellin is a genius

          It's just a model pick, nothing genius about it. 1G 1A from 0.12 xGI.
