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.

    Note to self, next time a player is not seen in training do not panic take it as confirmed he is nailed to the team sheet!

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      7 years, 3 months ago

      That's a pretty terrible note

        This week a Vardy not seen.
        Previously Mane, say no more.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I'm not saying it's a guarantee people won't play but to say they'll definitely play is just weird. At best it should be a minor concern and suspicious that they weren't in training

    Glad I got Ashley Barnes

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Glad I played safe and switched keeper instead of going Barnes > Zaha like I was going to.

      1. Richd
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Ha. Same to me. Boruc to Kepa as well?

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Button to Kepa, same difference.

          1. JIMMY TUGGINS
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Worse for me maybe as I have Fab on bench so did have a playing GK.

  6. Party time
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Barnes it

  7. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Is it daft to keep 3 Liverpool for gws34 and 35, (with WC and BB)?

    Looking at LIV v Hudd GW36

    Or should I do some hokey cokey?

  8. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  12. L'Aeroplanino

  13. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Why on earth has Boruc been dropped?

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

      He's 39. Not getting any younger, kinda pointless to play him unless Begovic is significantly worse.

  14. Hands Guber
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lols at the Barnes OG - If I didn't laugh at how ridiculous this season has been I'd cry. Smalling last week, Young red card in my team.

    Hope everyone's having a super day!

  15. LǝgleSs e|even

    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lol, I'll get Barnes off my bench unless Pedro plays on Monday 😆

  18. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Had a feeling Barnes would score an OG today. That's why I didn't put him in my team this week

  19. SM001
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Barnes OG. My season in a nutshell.

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Me too after Mane (c) yesterday

  20. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Need rondon goal

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

    Barnes is such a natural goal-scorer. Delighted to have him in my team.

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

      Always knows where the net is

  22. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    That Barnes OG sums up FPL.

    Those who plan get punished and those who don't get lucky.

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

      Surely the planners deserve a good week this week

      1. Hands Guber
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I planned and had 12 playing - but I didn't plan on Barnes being in my team and getting an OG lol.

    2. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hardly. Getting Barnes in is no masterstroke of planning

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

      This game is so much based on luck

    4. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Says more about the 'plan' if Barnes was a part of it.

    5. MTPockets
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sold Barnes for Rondon just to burn a FT
      Phew

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mili penalty incoming.

  23. grumpyman
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Barnes to Vardy for a hit *smugface*

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

      David did this didn't he? Terrible move really but got away with it.

    2. Babit1967
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Done Barnes and Pogba to Brooks and Auba -4 , going well so far

  24. Richd
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I see a Bournemouth goal

    “Please be wilson”

    “Or brooks”

    “Please not Fraser”

    “Or King”

    THE TRUE RESULT WAS WORSE. LOL

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      F off Ashley Barnes

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      This.

    3. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Plenty of people probably have benchwonked him. Have a chat with them.

  25. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Ake assisting barnes for the goal?: P

    1. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Site says lerma assist

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

    Lerna header was clearly going in, so why not his goal and therefore Fraser assist ?

  27. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Barnes can't stop scoring

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Barnes "impossible to ignore"

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

    Is Hamer a starter now?

  29. Amey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Barnes scores .....
    Oh wait 😕

    I should have ignored him 😛
