Gameweek 20 kicks off at 15:00 GMT today as five Premier League matches take place, including Spurs v Wolves and Brighton v Everton.

Christian Eriksen, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane are joined by Dele Alli in the Spurs attack, while Kieran Trippier, Ben Davies and Davinson Sanchez return to the home defence.

Wolves meanwhile have made three changes in the midfield/forward positions, with Ruben Neves and Ivan Cavaleiro recalled and Leander Dendoncker making his first Premier League start.

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin drop to the bench for Everton’s trip to Brighton, as Richarlison is recalled up front.

Marco Silva is once again deploying a wing-back system after their 5-1 success at Turf Moor on Boxing Day.

Brighton recall Florin Andone in attack at the expense of Glenn Murray, while David Button is the £4.0m-rated goalkeeper given the nod to deputise for Mathew Ryan.

Jose Holebas, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Troy Deeney are among the substitutes as Javi Gracia makes six changes for the visit of Newcastle, who recall Christian Atsu, Ayoze Perez and Salomon Rondon.

Tom Cairney and Luciano Vietto replace Aboubakar Kamara and Andre Schurrle as Claudio Ranieri again rolls out a 3-4-3. Chris Lowe returns for Huddersfield, meanwhile.

Jamie Vardy and James Maddison both start for Leicester this afternoon, with the Foxes entertaining a Cardiff side who welcome back Callum Paterson from injury up front.

      He’s hardly supposed to give into Ozil laziness and sh1te attitude though is he. Did you watch him in your last match?

  12. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Need a Cardiff goal. My ML rival is playing a little game where he uses his 1FT on a defender each week to get a clean sheet.

    This week he has gone for Maguire.

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years

  15. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    6. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lacazette on the bench is not a surprise. Emery has said he likes him to come on and provide something different.

      Unless they're already losing 5-0, Laca will come on

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He'll come on even if they're losing 5-0.

    7. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Niasse on for Bernard

    8. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      RIP

    9. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      This could end up badly with Sane and Sterling exploding

    10. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Etheridge on for a 17-18 pointer.

      GW top scorer.

      Who'd have thought?

    11. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Fulham defence essential... who should I bring him from them?
