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.

    Westwood my only benched player. Brought Tielmans in so I didn't have to play him...
