Harvey Barnes (£6.0m) and Ayoze Pérez (£6.2m) both find themselves among the Leicester City substitutes as Manchester City come to the King Power Stadium.

Their benchings certainly come as a surprise considering their recent form and run of starts in the team.

Barnes misses out on a place in the starting XI for the first time since Gameweek 21, while Pérez has been present since Gameweek 17.

Brendan Rodgers has gone with a different shape to usual considering the stature of Leicester’s Gameweek 27 opponents.

He has gone with a back-five featuring Christian Fuchs (£4.2m), Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.0m) and Jonny Evans (£5.2m) in the middle and flanked by Ben Chilwell (£5.6m) and Ricardo Pereira (£6.3m).

James Maddison (£7.4m), Youri Tielemans (£6.2m) and Dennis Preat (£5.3m) will form a central midfield trio behind Jamie Vardy (£9.7m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m).

Meanwhile, the key Manchester City options are all in place with Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) leading the line and Kevin De Bruyne (£10.8m) joined by Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) in midfield.

The Algerian comes into the side for Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) while Fernandinho (£5.2m) replaces Nicolas Otamendi (£5.0m) and Ilkay Gündogan (£5.2m) takes David Silva‘s (£7.4m) place.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Fuchs, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Maddison, Tielemans, Praet; Vardy, Iheanacho.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Mendy, Fernandinho, Laporte, Walker; Roridgo, Gündogan; B Silva, De Bruyne, Mahrez; Aguero.

    City need jesus

      Think it needs Walker to get forward more. Because Perreira (backed up by Soyuncu) has done a job on Mendy. Walker might find it easier against Chilwell.

      City of Sin

        *sin city

  3. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years

    Goals are coming surely

  4. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 13 days ago

    Would you still recommend getting Vardy?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 13 days ago

      100%

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 13 days ago

        Seriously?

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 13 days ago

          Top scorer, doesn't blank next week. Good fixtures.

          What more do you want

    Leicester fans are an absolute disgrace booing a club legend like Riyad Mahrez. Winning PFA player of the year and bringing a PL to a team like Leicester isn’t enough is it? They don’t deserve him then

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 13 days ago

      Yeah i was surprised to see that

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 13 days ago

        Its not like leicester were evey rivals to any of the so called top clubs. mahrez was always going to leave at some point

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 13 days ago

      I agree. Very surprised. Poor form

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 13 days ago

      They don't deserve him? What do you mean?

      1. DAZZ
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 13 days ago

        Dunno mate im chatting shi*

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 13 days ago

          😆

      Many fans of other clubs do the same sort of thing. Leicester fans not unique in this unfortunately.

    5. diesel001

      What did you expect? They turned on Ranieri after he won Leicester the PL.

      Football fans are fickle. Liverpool fans would turn on VVD if he left at the end of the season for Juventus.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 13 days ago

        Not much between pool and juve

        City and leicster were miles apart when he left

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 13 days ago

          Not in the eyes of many Leicester fans. He was meant to be one of the players to take them to consistently be in the Top 4.

      2. DAZZ
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 13 days ago

        I can assure you if VVD leaves for Juve after winning a PL and CL with Liverpool, we would not turn on him, he’d get a heroes reception if they came to Anfield

    6. Sun Jihai

      Disgusting

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 13 days ago

    Come on Vardy, I'm waiting for the party!!

  7. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 13 days ago

    Barnes looks the Leicester pick at that price

  8. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 13 days ago

    Is vardy alright??

  9. sovietrockettes
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 13 days ago

    Looks like benching Soyuncu over Lundstram was a bad move after all

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 13 days ago

      City will score

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 13 days ago

      Not over yet

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 13 days ago

      Looks like not ditching Lund was the mistake

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 13 days ago

      I would've played Soy over Lundstram. A player that doesn't start is the lowest of low in terms of playing priority.

  10. diesel001

    Otamendi coming on.

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 13 days ago

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years

      No

  14. _Ninja_

      Leicester were denied 59285024985048 guaranteed penalties, VAR is the spawn of Satan, and Ederson nearly murdered someone.

  20. DycheDycheBaby

    Pep hates FPL. Laporte off!

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 13 days ago

      Yep, the leader of his mini league had Laport in his team...

  21. SB007

    Is Jesus going to troll me. Was my differential last few weeks. Then did

    Jesus - Jiminez

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 13 days ago

      Jesus not even playing. You are probably safe.

  22. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 13 days ago

    Laporte injured again?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 13 days ago

      No

  23. Dont give a fuchs
    • 12 Years

    Auba and grealish to vardy and martial?

  24. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 13 days ago

    Hoping for an OG apiece. Maybe KDB and Vardy, but not too picky. Aguero and Maddison will do.
