Following a week of interest from the Fantasy Premier League community, Chris Wood (£6.1m) keeps his place in the starting line-up as Burnley travel to Norwich.

The New Zealand international is paired up-front with Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m), who has four attacking returns in his last five appearances since the Premier League restart.

The Clarets may be short in defence, with Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) and Ben Mee (£4.9m) still missing, but a return for Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.9m) in midfield means Erik Pieters (£4.2m) can slot in at left-back after several outings on the right wing.

Kevin Long (£4.3m) is the man who continues to deputise for Mee, but his owners were given an arduous few minutes when the team-sheets were announced this afternoon.

Burnley’s official Twitter account posted a line-up which featured an injured Mee at centre-back and Long nowhere to be seen.

However, this was deleted within a few minutes and owners of the budget centre-back were given a reprieve upon discovering that he had, in actual fact, made the starting line-up.

Meanwhile, as interest in Norwich’s squad continues to diminish, Teemu Pukki (£6.4m) is on the bench once again, with Josip Drmic (£5.3m) leading the line supported in attack by Onel Hernández (£5.3m), Todd Cantwell (£4.5m) and Emi Buendía (£6.0m).

Norwich City XI (4-2-3-1): Krul; Lewis, Klose, Godfrey, Aarons; Tettey, McLean; O Hernández, Buendía, Cantwell; Drmic.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; Pieters, K Long, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Gudmundsson; Wood, Rodriguez.

    Wish I'd played double Burnley defence now

    Shocking that was a red card. Even with VAR to see it they still got that wrong. Yellow and a warning that. When did this stop being a man's game?

    1. Lilac Breasted Roller

      There definitely was violent conduct intent there, I understand why they make that a red.

      1. HellasLEAF

        He help up. Watch the replay. Was a poor reaction to being held.

    2. Yank Revolution

      Violent and intentional. Has no place in the game.

    3. Isco Disco

      Clear Red card. Intentional Elbow on the head. No place for violent misconduct now that VAR is here

    4. DandyDon

      Agree. Everyone saying intentional but there has to be a certain amount of force to make it a sending off! If I flick someone’s ear then that’s obviously intentional

      Congratulations (also, it's probably not as big as you think it is).

    I hate Pope so much - just concede

    1. Mr. O'Connell

      Yeah I'm changing my username soon.

  5. ZimZalabim

    I think he got sent off coz he made a fist which is what you would do if you wanted to elbow some one so shows intent

    1. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The fist, his gaze was upon the target, the motivation (appears annoyed before) ...

    Benched TAA. Ml leader has TAA and vvd....could be great, or probably terrible

    1. Pep bites Kun

  7. GOTHAM City F.C.

    Pope go ahead and score now

  8. Bun Rab

    I think the little look before he brought down the elbow sold it for the ref.

  9. Rainer

    Triple up in heaven.

  11. denial

    Krul in the mood.

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hate it

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He'll be taking hard shots from Wood into his hands, and in his face if he has to.

  15. DandyDon

    I’m torn I own wood but probably more important for Norwich to score for me not owning Burnley defence.

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

      Same hereb

    2. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Come on you Norwich

  16. Limbo
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thought Pope + Bardsley was risky. Wishing I’d had the guts to put Pieters on too. Could be a mauling. They’ve no spine.

  17. Niho992
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lol it' s never red. Another disgrace by english refferes as usual.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      wrong intention. Clear red.

    2. HellasLEAF
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed 100% NIHO992. Player was being grabbed and held. It was a reaction to that. A poor one, but the player held up. VAR shows this. This is why we have VAR to determine these things. In the past you had to assume in the split second. Now we can slow down and see and it's still red.

    Burnley defenders might even get pass completion bonus.

  19. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years

    Imagine if Norwich Score with 10 men O_O

    1. OverTinker
      • 8 Years

    Mmm, brought in Pope this GW. 6 pointer banked but prolly no save points now. Mustn't be greedy.

  22. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    No Burnley ffs

  23. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I'd be really annoyed if my double Burnley defense doesn't return

  24. el polako
    • 9 Years

      Krul is such a legend. Really wish another PL team would snatch him.

    2. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wrong comment earlier.
      Martinez and azpi is brave

  26. Nomar

    Pope better not score more than 6 points

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Highly unlikely
