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.

    With this form for 38+ kane over auga next to jesus ?

    1. BNMC
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking the same

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Form today, but never know next week

  2. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    This game is all about timing really. Had Kane for 31-35 and sold after he and Spurs looked muck vs Bournemouth. Such a transformation since then.

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sucks don’t it! Thankfully bought him back this week

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Well done. My rival brought him in and captained him too. Hopefully that propels him up the ranks of top 10k I've no chance of catching him now!

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly this!

    3. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. Timing and patience.

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Knowing when to have patience and when to move on is certainly one of the most difficult aspects of FPL! Lot of luck involved of course.

    4. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lots of times this season it's felt like there were on-off switches on players & teams.
      Owned Kane v BOU too...

  3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Well, it’s about time

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Did you kaptain him?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

    2. Stoic
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      This guy brought in Kane(c) + Pieters. He knows

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Luck well overdue mate

  4. sunzip14

    Kane captain last GW and this and with no one else in my ML having him has to be one of the best comebacks I have made!

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Amazing

  5. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kane and Auba same price. I would bet Auba is still best bet final game - Watford may have to get desperate going for a goal to stay up, players playing for cup final position etc. Palace more solid than Leicester though I think Spurs will win again probably.

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe...or Watford may just need to minimise goal difference.

    2. yalala
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba is a fraud

  6. Gobigorgohome
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Tripple United attack essential

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Kane

    More goals to shut those haters up

  8. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kane 6.87% EO.

    Non-owners getting away with today’s haul.

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers... pieters has more owners in top 10k than kane 😀

      1. Rainer
        • 10 Years

        Pieters covers Kane...

        1. Chucky

          😎

  9. fr3d

    Nothing is more certain than Kane blanking next week

    1. HurriKane
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      *Hatty to reach 20 pl goals 5 times in last 6 pl seasons

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Vs a stubborn team. Yes ...
      I'm not getting on the train.

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        That stubborn team with no cleanie in last 6 games conceding 16 goals?

  10. CheesyZoot
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I'm a Chelsea fan so this result is great.

    However, my ML rival who ws only 17 points behind brought in and captained Kane this week 😀

    Bittersweet

  11. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I had this feeling that Kane will explode this week since he loves playing Leicester.
    But the recent performances didn’t convince me enough to put the armband on him. Happy with my points tho.
    Hope Martial goes big too

    1. Offside Trapattoni
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I also have Kane, toyed with the idea of C today but the fear of another 2pt performance put me off.

  12. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    That second kane goal was amazing, he had no right to score there...or even take the shot on for that matter.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Similar to goal v arsenal a few years back when he was on fire

  13. HurriKane
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Sheffield beat Spurs

    Leicester beat Sheffield

    Spurs beating Leicester

    PL is simply unpredictable 😀

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Home team beating away team? I see a pattern!

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs not having a shot on target vs Bou and thumping Leicester 3-0 is another example of PL unpredictability!

  14. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    High defensive line with Morgan and Evans?

    Easy job for Mou

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If he plays this high vs United 😆

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Tony smiling

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bennett is slow too.

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

      Brendan shown his lack of experience over the weeks

    4. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bennett and Morgan are asking for it. They look slow and sluggish. Even kane is looking rapid here.

  15. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How to fit

    Sterling, Silva, Martial, Fernandes, Antonio, Salah, Mane, Son
    Kane, Auba, Jesus, Ings

    Into my front 7?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      missing Rasshford

    2. BNMC
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Create another FPL account

    3. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      wheres benteke

  16. JBG
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy + Pulisic to Kane + Son for -4 and C Kane?

  17. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Surely there's no counter for Mourinho to play against Palace?

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Agree

  18. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Need Kane to grab 4 goals today so that everyone captains him next week and he blanks.

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2 is enough for a bandwagon. There's also Antonio

  19. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    This GW has gone (i.e. you can't get in Kane now).

    But next GW, will Rodgers play as high a defensive line against Man Utd? Leaving only 3 back against Son, Moura and Kane is crazy, but surely it is even crazier to do it against a Man Utd team with more pace and attacking fluency?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      but he has to attack anyway..
      because they would be 3 points behind by then

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Or does he sit back and hope Vardy / Barnes does something on the counter attack?

        1. Gobigorgohome
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          too risky

  20. Yome
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I have Kane VC, typical ffs

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lol see below

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Haha great minds think alike

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not taking any credit? 🙂

  21. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Got KANE VC

    I don’t mind a Rashy(c) injury now

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sure Rashford does mind

  22. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Leicester wasting the lead they had in January to miss Champions league must go down as one of the premiere bottle jobs in history...

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Or they just massively overperformed in the first half of the season and now is reverting back to the mean?

    2. BNMC
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Let's be honest, Lei have been trash since 4-0 Pool. Never got a good run of form since.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      There are many clubs who would still like to swap places - try 6th downwards .

      1. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thats not the mentality Leicester owners want for sure. You guys were champions in 2015 FFS! The lead & squad depth was more than enough, its inexcusable

  23. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    4 players played: Pope, Pieters, (K)ane and McCarthy (sub). Don't remember a better start to a GW.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nice.

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wow

  24. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    What are the chances of Martial no show this week?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Needs an injury tonight.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Barring injury almost 0 chance

    3. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Tbf he has a higher chance of hauling, which is what you want anyway

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kane hitting 20 goals plus a season for the last 6 seasons

    Elite

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      4 era of strikers in the PL

      1. Shearer
      2. Henry
      3. Aguero
      4. Kane?

    2. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      And usally never plays more than 2/3 of the season.

    3. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Imagine if they change fpl rules as some people want to create a Defensive Central Midfielder slot and he will get points for clean sheets too

    4. Danstoke82
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Regardless of what some say about him, he’s one of the best

    5. Isco Disco
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      True that!
      Definitely the best world class striker of current generation.

  26. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    United assets looking good for GW38. Leicester wheels have come off!

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Man Utd to play 11 defenders next GW and park the bus

  27. Rt505
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Shaping up to be a good GW so far. Played BB, and the only players I’ve had play are Long, Pieters, McCarthy, Ramsdale and Kane

  28. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So, Kane or Aubameyang for final GW?

    1. BNMC
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The million FPL pound question!

    2. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Both

  29. DAVESAVES
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    No party tonight?

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Always scores late on.

    2. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I went to the Ings party this GW. Not the best party I have been to.

  30. Gobigorgohome
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    What do you expect
    their main defender Morgan is 37 years old

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I expected Rodgers to play his defensive line a lot deeper to negate the pace of Son and Moura. But turns out he hasn't.

    2. Danstoke82
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Morgan v Martial could be tasty unless Soyuncu is back?

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That's not even the funny part, its just route one football.
