Leicester unchanged as Everton switch to three at the back

The final two matches of Gameweek 14 take place simultaneously this afternoon, with kick-off at 16:30 GMT.

Manchester United host Aston Villa at Old Trafford, while third-placed Leicester City take on Everton at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes can move back to within eight points of league leaders Liverpool with a victory over the Toffees this afternoon.

With his side on a five-match winning run, Brendan Rodgers has unsurprisingly named an unchanged team for the sixth game in a row.

Jamie Vardy (£9.8m), the most-captained player overall and in the top 10k in Gameweek 14, keeps up his ever-present record under his manager.

The Leicester striker hasn’t blanked since Gameweek 8 and averages 8.67 points per match in home games this season.

The Foxes come into this game having not conceded a league goal since Gameweek 9.

Marco Silva makes three changes to the side that was beaten by Norwich City last weekend.

Michael Keane (£5.4m) joins Yerry Mina (£5.3m) and Mason Holgate (£4.4m) in a back three, while Alex Iwobi (£5.7m) replaces the injured Theo Walcott (£6.2m) further forward.

The other change sees Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.8m) oust Cenk Tosun (£5.7m) up front.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes one change from Gameweek 13, with Juan Mata (£6.2m) replacing Phil Jones (£4.8m).

That alteration would seem to indicate that Solskjaer has moved back to a 4-2-3-1, with Mata joining Daniel James (£6.2m) and Marcus Rashford (£8.7m) in the attacking trident behind Anthony Martial (£7.8m).

Budget FPL defender Brandon Williams (£4.1m) is again preferred at left-back, with positional rivals Ashley Young and Luke Shaw (both £5.4m) on the bench.

Dean Smith names the same Aston Villa side that beat Newcastle on Monday, so there is no place for Marvelous Nakamba (£4.4m) in midfield.


Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Evans, Söyüncü, Chilwell, Ndidi, Ayoze Pérez, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy.

Everton XI: Pickford, Digne, Holgate, Keane, Mina, Sidibe, Davies, Sigurdsson, Iwobi, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelöf, Maguire, Williams, Andreas Pereira, Fred, James, Mata, Rashford, Martial.

Aston Villa XI: Heaton, Guilbert, Konsa, Mings, Targett, McGinn, Luiz, Hourihane, El Ghazi, Wesley, Grealish.

      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Nah - that was a good tackle by Mina.

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        ok

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not really. If so then there are 2-3 pens every game.

  14. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    How did he not get a yellow that's pathetic

  15. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Chillwell should be booked for that.

  16. Bun Rab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    So no booking for the dive?

  17. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Chilwell should be given a yellow for that

  18. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Chilwell should be booked.. ko consistency

  19. HNI
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Now Techophobes wont appreciate how good Var is . Its always better than no Var even if its slighlty as Var also does some mistakes. But not as much as refs did.

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    How doesnt he get booked hahah

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Disgraceful

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      Wondering the same

  21. Clintymints
    • 14 Years

    Much consistency

  22. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    It’s got to be a yellow for diving or a penalty surely - terrible

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Rival has Chilwell lol, probably should've been at least one red, maybe two.

  23. Tsparkes10

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Awful refereeing. It's either a pen or a dive and therefore a yellow card.

    1. jg7u
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I believe you cannot give a yellow card on VAR? Could be mistaken.

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    No booking?

    Ridiculous

  25. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers

    Why don't they give it for the tackle on Vardy? Leaves his leg behind him.

  26. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Martial & Barnes to Mount & Zaha?

  27. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    How can they even say that is CLEAR AND OBVIOUS. VAR is a bloody joke.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      It was pretty obvious that Chilwell went over very easily.

  28. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    England refs worst refs in the world, hands down

  29. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    I'm so angry now is that not a yellow and a -1 for chillwell is beyond me . Horrific refereeing

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      How *

      You get angry easily.

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I know I'm calm now though

    3. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Wasn't a yellow after VAR overturned?

    4. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I don't agree and it is not because I own Chilwell...

  30. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Brought in Söyüncü so that I could bench Cantwell (again)
    Worst season ever!
