Three Premier League matches take place today, all of which kick off at 15:00 BST.

Bournemouth entertain Burnley, Crystal Palace head north to face Newcastle United and Leicester City make the trip to relegated Huddersfield Town.

Jamie Vardy starts for the Foxes, following concern about his absence from training ground photos on Thursday.

Harvey Barnes, James Maddison, Youri Tielemans, Ben Chilwell and Ricardo Pereira all start but there is no place for Harry Maguire, who was available after suspension but who fails to make the match-day squad – the Leicester Mercury claim that Maguire has had a “disrupted week” after the birth of his first child.

Brendan Rodgers’ only change sees Caglar Soyuncu replace the injured Jonny Evans at centre-half. Evans reportedly has an issue with his hip.

Huddersfield Town have only made one change, with Jon Gorenc Stankovic coming into the starting XI at the expense of Juninho Bacuna.

Isaac Mbenza returns after a lengthy lay-off and is among the substitutes.

DeAndre Yedlin and Isaac Hayden have recovered from minor injuries to start for Newcastle but Mohamed Diame misses out, so Ki Sung-yueng takes the place of the Senegalese midfielder.

Fabian Schar is back after a two-game ban and replaces Paul Dummett at centre-half.

Salomon Rondon, Ayoze Perez and Miguel Almiron again form the Magpies’ three-man attack.

Andros Townsend is back in the Crystal Palace team after dropping to the bench in midweek, meanwhile, so Cheikhou Kouyate makes way.

Wilfried Zaha, Michy Batshuayi, Jeffrey Schlupp and Aaron Wan-Bissaka all start.

Adam Smith is fit to return for Bournemouth and replaces the injured Charlie Daniels at left-back but the Cherries are otherwise unchanged.

Asmir Begovic lines up in goal again ahead of Artur Boruc, while David Brooks, Ryan Fraser, Josh King and Callum Wilson are all in Eddie Howe’s starting XI as expected.

Sean Dyche has only made one alteration to his team, with Matthew Lowton replacing the injured Phil Bardsley at right-back.

Bournemouth XI: Begovic, Clyne, Mepham, Ake, Smith, Brooks, Gosling, Lerma, Fraser, King, Wilson.

Burnley XI: Heaton, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Cork, Westwood, Hendrick, McNeil, Wood, Barnes.

Huddersfield Town XI: Hamer, Smith, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm, Hogg, Stankovic, Pritchard, Mooy, Löwe, Grant.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Ricardo Pereira, Morgan, Söyüncü, Chilwell, Ndidi, Gray, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Schar, Lascelles, Lejeune, Yedlin, Hayden, Ki, Ritchie, Perez, Almiron, Rondon.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Wan-Bissaka, Kelly, Tomkins, van Aanholt, McArthur, Milivojević, Schlupp, Townsend, Batshuayi, Zaha.

      Lets hope it is.

    Maguire pulling a Lindelof

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hope he has enough Kleenex.

      1. Jafooli

        😛

    2. fr3d

      By not pulling out

  9. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Decided to ditch Anderson for Maddison rather than do the sensible thing and sell Boruc. Hoping for a decent return from Maddison now to justify it.

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I hope my players do well too.

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Fingers crossed.

    2. Federico
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Did the same thing, and still feel it was the right decision.

      Anderson had to go, and selling Boruc for a hit wouldn't be worth the risk.

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Higher ceiling with Maddison so thought it was worth the risk. Good luck.

  10. Federico
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Laca vs Auba only a budget decision?

    A) Lloris + Holebas + Laca
    B) Foster + Bennett + Auba
    C) Foster + Bennett + Laca + 1.5M

  11. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Hamer starts for me after rotting on my bench all season. Siewart perhaps giving more game time now for those that will feature in the Championship.

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Huddersfield about to troll all of us, aren't they?

      1. Vinyl78LP
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        As Hamer/Pereira owner - a bore draw would be a dream.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Who would buy Lossl?

      Perhaps a foreign team? Can't imagine there's a mass of suitors.

    3. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Is that Chase HQ on your grav? Now there's a blast from the past.

      1. Jay_
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Outrun.

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Right you are. They really were the days.

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      They may try to sell Lössl? Or just check whether they could use Hamer next season?

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

    WC team looking ahead to Gw35, any changes necessary?

    Ryan, Foster
    TAA, Kolasinac, Doherty, Valery, Duffy
    Sterling, B.Silva, Son, Doucoure, Stephens
    Kane, Aubameyang, Jimenez

    Leaves me 3 Brighton for the GW34 double also..

  13. Pras (FPL)
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts?

    Ryan/Foster
    TAA/Kola/Duffy/Doherty/Valery
    Mane/Son/Sterling/Jota/JWP
    Kane/Kun/Jimi

    1. g40steve

          1. Pras (FPL)
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers - just can’t see having:

            Ars striker ahead of Kane/Kun

            Deeney ahead of Jimenez

            Deulo ahead of Jota

            1. azz007
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              Well is Aguero going to be fit gw34.

              Also don't see him do. Mcuh in the double

            2. g40steve
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              I like Decoure since the playing formation changed in past few games, gone from getting 1&2’s to 7 & 10.

  14. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    First time this season I'm hoping for a NEW cs. Come on Dub

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Prepare for disappointment

  15. MTPockets
    7 years, 3 months ago

    You'd have to bench one of the other 7 to play Stephens.
    Is that likely to happen?

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 3 months ago

      * meant as reply to fpl_wildcard

      1. FPL_WILDCARD
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, I think for that one game I’d risk benching Doucoure vs Arsenal for the Stephens double and hope for an unlikely assist...

  16. Lucackadoodledoo

  18. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone here bring Maguire in? Very unlucky. Was he a doubt?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Only heard the doubt after the deadline.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      saw someone warning Andy on twitter pre-deadline (educated guess)

    3. Hotdogs for Tea

  20. Negan

    WC 34 BB 35 please rate, cheers!
    Lloris/Foster
    Duffy/Dunk/Kolasinac/Bennett/Valery
    Sterling/Son/Jota/JWP/Camarasa*
    Kane/Laca/Jimenez

    *Camarasa to Doucoure 35. Thoughts?

    1. Federico
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      The FT might be handy to get in LFC-players for HUD GW36.

      1. Negan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Good point.. if I want Camarasa punt can still get Mane/Salah and TAA for a hit in 36

  21. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Given Spurs game v Huddersfield falls on Saturday between CL semifinal games v City who is best midfielder to get on WC beside Kane up front

    A Alli
    B Eriksen
    C Son
    D Lamela
    E Moura

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      sonny.

  22. Federico
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lots of similar RMTs on here today. Forgive me for posting another one 😉

    Trying to look ahead to GW36, and make sure it won't be too difficult to get in Salah if he shows some form in the next couple.

    Thoughts on this draft? Auba -> Laca would give exact money for Sterling -> Salah.

    Foster - Ryan
    TAA - Kola - Duffy - Bennett - Valery
    Sterling - Son - Mane - Deulofeu - Hojbjerg
    Kane - Auba - Jimenez

  23. fr3d

      Is this really necessary? Not the slightest bit amusing and childish.
