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.

    omg vardy ruin my plan of selling him for Kun

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not really. It's only Arsenal. I'd still do the move.

        7 years, 2 months ago

        This, despite his form this week. Chelsea at the end of the season is tempting though. But I think Laporte and co will have him in his back pocket next week, thus lessening his potential value.

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

          same thought here

          Vardy capable of scoring agst Chelsea

      • 17 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah he is on 3 points now shifting Vardy out for Firmino with Gray's 8 points on the bench does not seem so good now.

    Chelsea & Leicester really do love each other.

    1. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Arsenal have completely gifted us the chance of top 4 😀

    Captain Points Lost: 255
    Max Possible Points: 2633

    455 points lost to not picking the right captain/starting XI

  15. Cok3y5murf

    3 in a row. This club is a joke

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

      It'll be better next season without Ramsey

  16. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    That's Leciester on the beach now for the summer

    9-0 Man City next week

  17. twoplustwo

    Can’t seem to remove vardy and Maddy from my team

    1. Kante Touch This
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      its a good problem to have

  18. It's Fergie Time

    thanks alot arse-nal

  19. Lukakuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy to Rash then...?

  20. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy still outscored by the king that is Robbo this week

  21. Jayv807
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy and Periera thank you!

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

    God damn arsenal were awful. Auba has been a horrendous differential. Template is just crushing it too hard.

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

      Vardy isn’t template

      Just ironic that all 3rd strikers bar arsenal got points - Vardy, Wilson, Gray etc

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

        Well... Every other differential option got points, and the template like Jimenez scored too. Just piss all of it

    2. Jayv807
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I have Laca and share your pain. He is the only pl asyer out of my 10 played this week that didn't return and I have JWP on my bench. I don't know if I should hold for Brighton now....

      1. Jayv807
        • 9 Years

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

      What's the template? Seems to change depending on the week.

  23. TheDragon

    7 years, 2 months ago

    The battle not to finish in the top 4 is really hotting up

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

      It really is. Spurs are doing incredibly well with 6 losses out of 10. But Arsenal don’t want their bitter rivals going worse than them. Nicely played getting the man sent off early and letting the keeper set up Vardy.
      Utd have asked Pogba to be as poisonous as he can and is duly doing so.
      Chelsea quite clever in hiring the fattest striker in Europe to at least attempt to limit Hazards out put.

  24. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy 18 goals! That's mad.

  25. Srv210
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    how to transfer vardy out....the guy has been a beast for me this season...but city game will be tough.

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

      Chelsea game could be good though

    2. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      you should take the Arsenal game with a grain of salt, he only got those goals because of Arsenal's dreadful defence

      do you think City would allow him those chances? (vardy owner btw)

  26. Planet Head
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Call him 3-bap JV

  27. Holmes

    The race to finish outside top 4 is on...

  28. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    This was the easiest game for an opponent playing Arsenal. These Arsenal players are just not good enough.

  29. Planet Head

    Burnley goal incoming today, can feel it.
