The first of three Premier League matches to take place on Sunday sees Leicester City take on Arsenal at the King Power Stadium.

Kick-off is at 12:00 BST.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is fit to start having undergone a “small procedure” on a sinus in midweek and the Gabonese forward is joined in the Arsenal starting XI by Alexandre Lacazette.

Sead Kolasinac and Shkodran Mustafi also come into the visitors’ side as Nacho Monreal, Mesut Ozil and Laurent Koscielny drop out.

The latter is on the bench but Ozil misses out with a foot problem and Monreal is sidelined with a calf injury.

Brendan Rodgers has made only one change, with Hamza Choudhury replacing Demarai Gray.

This is Choudhury’s first start under the new Leicester boss and his first league start since January.

Harvey Barnes is only among the substitutes despite scoring a stoppage-time equaliser in the 2-2 draw with West Ham last weekend.

Jamie Vardy leads the line for the Foxes again and no FPL asset has been involved in as many goals (ten) as the Leicester striker from Gameweek 28 onwards.

Youri Tielemans has only blanked in one of the last eight Gameweeks, meanwhile.

Arsenal have won only two of their last 11 away league matches and have kept just one clean sheet on the road all season.

Aubameyang and Lacazette have both only scored one goal in their last six Premier League away appearances.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Ricardo, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell, Ndidi, Tielemans, Choudhury, Albrighton, Maddison, Vardy.

Subs: Ward, Soyuncu, Gray, Iheanacho, Barnes, Mendy, Fuchs.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Maitland-Niles, Mustafi, Sokratis, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Torreira, Mkhitaryan, Iwobi, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Subs: Cech, Koscielny, Mavropanos, Elneny, Guendouzi, Willock, Nketiah.

      Very very attacking. Burnley could wreck them on the counter

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Haha this

    2. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years

      Lovely

    3. Party time

      All I need now is a Sané haul

    4. Forza

      Sterling triple VC to the rescue 🙂

    5. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      No Wilson off the bench for me 🙁

    6. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      oooh, I was so tempted to bring Sane in, but was worried that he wouldn't start.

  2. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    City team as expected.

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      As expected.

  3. boc610

    4th place feeling very insecure at the moment. Nobody seems interested.

  4. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    City lineup as expected

  5. JIMMY TUGGINS

    7 years, 2 months ago

    Never noticed Leno look this solid.

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nor me, best I've seen him.

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        You really brought them all out of the woodwork before mate.

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Dumb people who think you can't be racist against white people? He sure did.

          1. Marvin.
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            A history book might be of benefit to you.

            1. Brosstan
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              An ability to think logically might be of benefit to you. Literally believing you can't be racist against whites is bottom barrel intelligence

    2. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Player of the season along with Lacazette.

  6. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Moura + Son > Gundogan + Sane (-4)?

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

    Barnes on for N'didi.

    Attack-minded substitution.

  8. Bees4Lyf

  10. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Is Sterling on the right then?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Looks like it unfortunately

      1. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Check well, mate. He gets loads of chances and Tap-ins from the right.

    2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Didn't he haul last time he played there?

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He prefers playing on the left

      Next week we'll be able to go one level of meta deeper, now 🙂

  15. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone know why Stones has fallen so far out of favour?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Same reason as Otamendi after having a boss season.

      Only Pep knows!

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah he’s dropped like a

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

      Pep picks primarily on form. Must be that over anything else. Only recently tied him down to a long contract right?

    4. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully someone can point you to where but there was some explanation from pep about how he picks laporte's partner. Injury and team news post?

  16. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Need a big return from City today.

    Bernard, Sterling & Aguero.

        2. dark91
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I wanted to exclude Man United but I still think Iwobi is worse than their regular starters

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Lingard, Sanchez, Llorente are on the same tier

    3. WVA

  27. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Looked like a good goal. Watched it on match tracker or live score.

  28. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    How much do we think Digne will be starting at next season?

    I reckon £5.5m

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds right.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        He’s in my template for next season.

        Ideally him, Laporte and Robertson, but my have to downgrade to Trent as Robbo and Laporte almost certainly will be £6.5m each.

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          As in Trent instead of Robbo.

  29. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    A win for Utd today would be huge for the top 4 race now

    1. Butcher
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Would still need Chelsea to drop points
