Aurier starts again as Leicester and Spurs name unchanged teams

Leicester City continue their push for a UEFA Champions League qualification place this afternoon.

The Foxes head south face to Spurs in their latest pursuit of three points, with kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 16:00 BST.

The team news is very straightforward as both managers have named unchanged starting XIs following wins in Gameweek 36+.

That means another start for Serge Aurier (£5.1m), who has travelled back from France after spending time with his family in the wake of his brother’s death.

It also means a second successive run-out for Luke Thomas (£4.0m) for the visitors, with the budget Fantasy Premier League defender again featuring at left wing-back.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are without Ricardo Pereira (£6.2m), James Maddison (£7.3m), Ben Chilwell (£5.5m), Christian Fuchs (£4.2m) and Marc Albrighton (£5.1m) through injury, with Caglar Soyuncu (£4.9m) suspended.

Dele Alli (£8.3m) is still unavailable for Spurs but Juan Foyth (£4.8m) returns from a lengthy lay-off and is among the substitutes.

Only one Leicester player has an effective ownership of more than 1% in the top 10k: that, unsurprisingly, is Jamie Vardy (£9.7m), who sits in just over one in five of these squads.

Aurier has been benched by more than half of his owners within the top 10k, meanwhile.

Mourinho’s starting XI may have been unchanged in the last three games but the formation continues to evolve, with Son Heung-min (£9.7m) here playing out wide on the left of a 4-2-3-1 rather than up top alongside Harry Kane (£10.9m).


Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Sissoko, Winks; Lo Celso, Lucas, Son; Kane.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Bennett, Morgan, Evans; Justin, Ndidi, Tielemans, Thomas; Perez, Vardy, Barnes.

    Surely Son gets another goal here, looking dangerous.

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years

      Another?

        For the season tally.

  2. teddypicker

    Pulisic to:

    A) Son
    B) Silva
    C) Antonio

      Son, he's got the most points this gw

  3. Monkey Hanger

    Winks playing very well.

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Rarity

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years

      Mou effect

  4. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    it is not even funny Kane playing evergame as CDM

  5. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bruno (lei) or Son (pal)?

    😮

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Depends on what your needs are for rank/ML

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Points.

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Nobody knows for sure who will get more points. Thats why context is more important here

          Smartarse

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

      Son looking great
      Fernandes looking tired

  6. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    imagine this Lei defence vs Martial Rashford Bruno

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Higher line looks bad here but very stupid vs United.

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Going to be a massacre. 3/4-1 I reckon

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I dont think United has the stamina for massacres. Playing always the same front 5 has to come with a cost

    3. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      only hope for Leicester is United players may be tired

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not to mention Leicester Mids trying To play with Pogs/Bruno. Ndidi isn’t bad but the rest are pretty poor.

        Think it’s going to come down to if Party is in the mood

    Bottomed last page

    What do we think England’s starting XI will look like with all the talent they have? Who starts up top from Rash, Raheem, Sancho, and Kane?

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think Kane on form takes forward spot. I'd say raheem is nailed as he can play either right or left. Then a toss up between the other 2. Southgate favours rash starting ahead of sancho currently.

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        My thinking as well. Hard to displace Kane when he’s on form.

        Grealish in behind them creating is going to be beautiful if that’s the route they go.

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Botlle jobs will always be bottle jobs

  8. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Leicester will really struggle against United with that defence.

  9. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Absolutely no chance of a Vardy goal here!

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      2/10 reverse jinx attempt too obvious

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

        Well spotted, taken a risk on my captain as when they blank whatever anyway.

    2. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He's already had 2 good chances.

    Spurs doing Utd a solid here with not just the result but goal difference

  25. Postman Ty
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Kane greedy, Son was wide open at the far post.

  26. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    this can be kind of 5-0 match

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
