Old friends meet at Stamford Bridge with ex-Brighton players Robert Sanchez and Moises Caicedo starting for Chelsea.

While Levi Colwill was on loan with the Seagulls last season.

There’s only 15 minutes before kick-off in seven of tonight’s games.

Where do we see the upsets coming from?

Who will make a name for themselves?

There are three players making their first starts for Newcastle tonight.

Big night for this shirt, and what a big squad number.

An Arsenal debut for Charles Sagoe Jr.

Shay Given has been speaking on Sky Sports and is interested to see how Newcastle’s fringe players get on.

It’s a new back four and a totally new team apart from Pope, Hall and Livramento stand out and want to see how good they are as spent a lot of money on them. Interesting to see how they setup and it’s an opportunity for those players to show themselves.

Only Nick Pope survives from the team that thrashed Sheffield United on Sunday, and Newcastle give a debut to 17-year-old midfielder Lewis Miley.

For City, Kalvin Phillips makes only his fifth start for the club and there’s another chance for Oscar Bobb.

Haaland, Foden and Doku form a formidable looking bench for the Premier League champions.

Andoni Iraola makes eight changes to his side as they host Championship side Stoke City.

Alex Iwobi makes his first Fulham start since his deadline day move in one of five changes from Marco Silva.

Tomas Soucek is the only player to keep his place as David Moyes makes 10 changes to his Hammers line-up.

There are five changes to the Villa line-up from the weekend, Jhon Duran starts up front with Leon Bailey, Youri Tielemans, Leandre Dendoncker and Robin Olsen also get a game for Unai Emery.

Five changes for the Toffees with on-loan Leeds winger Jack Harrison making his debut after recovering from hip injury, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin also getting a start.

In come Frank Oneyka and Mathias Jorgensen as the Bees make just two changes.

Aaron Ramsdale is named in goal for the Gunners who also hand Emile Smith Rowe a first start since May 2022.

There is also a debut for 19-year-old front man Charles Sagoe Jr.

It’s a first start for Cole Palmer as Mauricio Pochettino names a strong starting XI for the Blues.

With Marc Cucurella, Ian Maatsen and Ben Chilwell, Chelsea have three left-backs playing in the same side.

While Brighton give a start to Ansu Fati as they look to pile on the pressure at Chelsea.

Team news will soon be on its way, but we’re expecting major changes from the Premier League teams and a chance for some fringe players to make their mark.
