Which Premier League Club Has Had The Most Managers EVER?

Hector Bellerin is handed a start at right back, with Rob Holding, Gabriel Magalhaes and Granit Xhaka making up the rest of the defence.

Mohamed Elneny partners Dani Ceballos in the heart of midfield, whilst Emile Smith Rowe will be the number 10 today.

Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli feature out wide, with Alexandre Lacazette leading the line in attack.

Reiss Nelson is handed a spot on the bench, alongside Leno, Cedric Calum Chambers, Pablo Mari, Thomas Partey, Willian, Nicolas Pepe and Eddie Nketiah.

Fulham go with Alphonse Areola in goal, behind a back four of Ola Aina, Joachim Andersen, Tosin Adarabioyo and Antonee Robinson.

Mario Lemina and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa feature in midfield, with Ademola Lookman, Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Ivan Cavaleiro behind Josh Maja in attack.

That means Aleksandar Mitrovic is only on the bench again, joining Fabri, Michael Hector, Tim Ream, Denis Odoi, Joe Bryan, Harrison Reed, Josh Onomah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
