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.

    If this ends with 5-6 points in total for my 3 Leicester players I'll be fuming.

    Does anyone know why there wasn't a scout report on Tielemans when he signed in January?

    He was a pretty high profile signing for Leicester at the time.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      No idea. Didn’t really notice that there wasn’t tbh, but good bit of business by Leicester for sure. Class player

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Rumours of United trying to poach him in the summer.

    2. HammersFan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      I thought he was more of a Kante type holding player hence the low price, I knew he was a hyped young player but not much else.

      Shows how much I know haha

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Yeah, I had no idea if he was a holding or attacking midfielder.

    3. Team Cruel

      Munday was too busy writing about Barnes being too hard to ignore at the time.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Barnes stats were outrageous at the time to be fair. Except for shot accuracy.

    4. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      There was discussion of him. In short he had poor stats from Monaco B

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Had a good World Cup, didn't he?

    5. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Screw off man. There was lots of talk about him. If you don't follow football and just want spoon feeding and then blame ffs for it because they don't have a crystal ball. Sorry but fed up your attitude.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Just asking a question. I didn't know anything about him when he joined and now he has returned in every game.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Damn. I thought one was risky.

  12. Differential C (Mark)
