Son benched as Alli returns while Wilson is fit to start

Five Premier League matches kick off at 15:00 GMT this afternoon.

The headline team news perhaps comes from St. Mary’s Stadium, where Spurs are the visitors.

Dele Alli returns to Mauricio Pochettino’s starting XI for the first time since Gameweek 23, while Son Heung-min is benched in the Premier League for the first time since December.

Kyle Walker-Peters, Eric Dier and Lucas Moura also start as Toby Alderweireld, the injured Kieran Trippier and Victor Wanyama make way from the side that drew 1-1 with Arsenal last Saturday.

Southampton are unchanged.

Jamie Vardy is fit to lead the line for Leicester City, with Demarai Gray replacing Wes Morgan as Brendan Rodgers switches from a wing-back system to a 4-2-3-1.

Scott Parker sticks with the same 11 players that performed well against Chelsea.

Manuel Pellegrini also names the same side that lined up for Gameweek 29, meaning that Marko Arnautovic has to be content with a place on the bench again. Fabian Balbuena is also among the substitutes.

Neil Warnock has made four changes for the visit of the Hammers, with Bruno Ecuele Manga, Harry Arter, Josh Murphy and Junior Hoilett back in the Bluebirds’ side.

The quartet to make way are Joe Ralls, Kenneth Zohore, Bobby Reid and Sol Bamba, who has been ruled out for the season with a knee injury.

Callum Wilson returns from a knee injury for Bournemouth, who have the England striker, David Brooks, Josh King and Ryan Fraser in the same side for the first time since Gameweek 23.

Jefferson Lerma returns from suspension, while Nathaniel Clyne and Jack Simpson drop to the bench.

Zanka, Elias Kachunga and Aaron Mooy return for Huddersfield as Karlan Grant, Terence Kongolo and the injured Jonathan Hogg drop out.

DeAndre Yedlin and Ki Sung-yueng replace the injured Sean Longstaff and Javier Manquillo for Newcastle, while Marco Silva recalls Richarlison and Andre Gomes at the expense of Theo Walcott and Morgan Schneiderlin.

Cardiff City XI (4-2-3-1): Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Bennett, Gunnarsson, Arter, Hoilett, Camarasa, Murphy, Niasse.

West Ham United XI (4-1-4-1): Fabianski, Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Snodgrass, Noble, Lanzini, Felipe Anderson, Chicharito.

Huddersfield Town XI (4-4-2 diamond): Lössl, Bacuna, Zanka, Schindler, Durm, Stankovic, Mooy, Billing, Pritchard, Mounie, Kachunga.

Bournemouth XI (4-4-2): Boruc, Smith, Mepham, Aké, Daniels, Brooks, Lerma, Surman, Fraser, King, Wilson.

Leicester City XI (4-2-3-1): Schmeichel, Ricardo, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell, Ndidi, Tielemans, Maddison, Gray, Barnes, Vardy.

Fulham XI (4-2-3-1): Rico, Odoi, Nordtveit, Ream, Bryan, Chambers, McDonald, Babel, Cairney, Sessegnon, Mitrovic.

Newcastle United XI (3-4-2-1): Dubravka, Schar, Lascelles, Lejeune, Yedlin, Hayden, Ki, Ritchie, Almiron, Perez, Rondon.

Southampton XI (3-5-2): Gunn, Yoshida, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Valery, Hojbjerg, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Bertrand, Austin, Redmond.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris, Walker-Peters, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Rose, Dier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Alli, Lucas, Kane.
