Watford take on Leicester City in the first of three Premier League matches to be contested on Sunday.

Kick-off at Vicarage Road is at 12:00 GMT.

Brendan Rodgers takes charge of the Foxes for the first time and there is plenty of intrigue as to what impact the former Celtic boss can have on Leicester’s most-popular Fantasy assets.

Rodgers has made one change to the team that beat Brighton in midweek, replacing Demarai Gray with Wes Morgan.

That would appear to signal a move to a 3-4-3 system, with Ben Chilwell and Ricardo Pereira deployed as wing-backs.

Harvey Barnes and James Maddison will flank Jamie Vardy in a front three.

Javi Gravia has also only made one change to his starting XI, with Jose Holebas – back from a two-match suspension – replacing Adam Masina.

Holebas has been directly involved in more goals (three goals, seven assists) than any Fantasy Premier League defender this season.

The Hornets have kept clean sheets in each of their last two league matches at Vicarage Road.

Maddison and Vardy were both on the scoresheet when Leicester triumphed 2-0 in the reverse fixture in December, while Pereira banked maximum bonus points.

Watford XI (4-4-2): Foster, Holebas, Mariappa, Cathcart, Janmaat, Pereyra, Capoue, Doucoure, Hughes, Deeney, Deulofeu.

Leicester City XI (3-4-3): Schmeichel, Chilwell, Maguire, Evans, Morgan, Pereira, Ndidi, Tielemans, Barnes, Maddison, Vardy.

    Pereira must be the worst transfer I’ve ever made. Don’t even care if he plays in blanks.

    Pogba, Pereira > Mane, any def?

    Already own Robbo, Doherty, AWB, Bednarek.

      I got Pogba at 7.9, I can't afford to lose him. Perreira can do one though.

  2. Zilla
    • 8 Years

    Pereira seriously one of the worst buys

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Still at least he has no blanks...apart from his GW scores.

  19. TAT
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    F off, Pereira!

  20. Business Cat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Owning Pereira has been a true delight so far...

  21. Peter Ouch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I guess deeney 3 bps

  22. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    LOL should have played Doherty over Pereira after all.

  23. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy’s 3 point bonus probably wiped with that goal! Gutted

  24. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Pereira off the bench for Luiz. Nice.

  25. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    That's a good goal as someone who owns no one from this match.

  26. thepopo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Brought in Luiz and Barnes for kolasinac and jota
    (with the news of 5 changes for wolves thought jota might be one of them)
    Currently on 9 points from 7
    Two goalkeeper no shows patricio and guita

    Probably not even my worst week of a dreadful season

  27. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Troy Deeney, to think I considered Deeney->Higuain for a hit for this GW. You beautiful man with beautfiul cojones!

  28. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    All over

  29. fusen
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    3 - Deeney (39)
    2 - Vardy (29)
    1 - Tielemans (26)

    gray on 24 but will get winning goal 3 BAPS, Vardy still on for 2.

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
