There are three Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 GMT on Sunday.

TEAM NEWS

The absence of Cole Palmer from the Chelsea matchday squad is one of the most significant pieces of team news.

Andrey Santos consequently comes into the starting line-up.

Liam Rosenior makes two other changes to the team that beat Brentford in Gameweek 22: Benoit Badiashile and Estevao for Tosin Adarabioyo and Alejandro Garnacho.

Jaydee Canvot, Daniel Munoz and Ismaila Sarr all return for Crystal Palace.

Will Hughes, Justin Devenny and Yeremy Pino make way.

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has had his hand forced with his only change from midweek due to the injury sustained by Bruno Guimaraes. Lewis Miley comes in.

Dan Burn, meanwhile, returns to the matchday squad as a substitute.

Aston Villa have made five changes to the line-up that beat Fenerbahce on Thursday.

Emiliano Martinez, Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres, Ian Maatsen and Amadou Onana all return, ousting Marco Bizot, Victor Lindelof, Tyrone Mings, Lucas Digne and Lamare Bogarde from the starting XI.

At the Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford and Nottingham Forest are unchanged from Gameweek 22.

    Why Rogers dropping in price?
    He should be great pick, right?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

      2 days, 32 mins ago

      More enticing options + immediate fixtures not great. I’m keeping though

  2. Sgt. Schultz

    Utd no changes

  3. F4L
    • 11 Years

    very harsh to give that as a pen

    Why does this handball need VAR? His arm is clearly by his side?? Why’s the ref taking so long?

    1. @ocprodigy

      2 days, 33 mins ago

      Wait wtf. This is actually a joke.

    2. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 days, 32 mins ago

      I’m sorry but natural position. Where is his arm meant to be?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        2 days, 27 mins ago

        Apparently it stopped the goal

        Was watching Newcastle v Villa

  5. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Really harsh but I think that has to be a pen because it blocks a goal and it's with an arm.

  6. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 days, 33 mins ago

    Clear and obvious. Only took 45 looks at it.

        Unreal penalty. What happened to the rule where it touches another part of the body first? This league is a joke

        1. JBG

          2 days, 28 mins ago

        There needs to be a strong conversation about PL referees. His arm is in a natural position. Not sure what else he can do differently.
