There are only three Premier League matches kicking off at 3pm GMT today – but among them is a big one for Fantasy managers: it’s 1st v 20th as Liverpool entertain Southampton.
There were fears of widespread rotation from Arne Slot following his comments in Friday’s pre-match press conference.
But in the end, the Liverpool boss has kept the changes down to a modest level: just three in all from the midweek win at Paris Saint-Germain.
They’re predictable ones, too, with Darwin Nunez, Kostas Tsimikas and Curtis Jones replacing Andrew Robertson, Alexis Mac Allister and Diogo Jota. All of those ousted players are on the bench.
There’s no Cody Gakpo, however: he misses out again with an ankle injury.
Mohamed Salah starts and can break the all-time FPL points record for a single season with a 13-point haul or more.
Southampton, meanwhile, make six alterations from their 4-0 defeat to Chelsea.
Joe Aribo, Yukinari Sugawara, Armel Bella-Kotchap and Paul Onuachu drop to the bench, while James Bree and Flynn Downes both miss out.
In come Lesley Ugochukwu, Ryan Manning, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Jan Bednarek, Tyler Dibling and Albert Gronbaek.
On the south coast, Brighton and Hove Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler makes two changes from his Gameweek 27 line-up.
Jack Hinshelwood and Yasin Ayari are in for the suspended Tariq Lamptey and the benched Diego Gomez.
After resting some big names in Fulham’s last Premier League outing, Marco Silva goes back to his regulars.
He is, however, without the suspended Sasa Lukic and the injured Adama Traore.
Antonee Robinson, Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, Emile Smith Rowe and Raul Jimenez come in, with Rodrigo Muniz, Ryan Sessegnon and Jorge Cuenca moving to the bench.
Finally, at Palace there are the expected two changes for the hosts.
Eddie Nketiah comes in for the injured Jean-Philippe Mateta, while Jefferson Lerma deputises for the suspended Will Hughes.
Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna welcomes Julio Enciso and Kalvin Phillips back from injury.
