Potter explains Lamptey’s absence as Gameweek 12 finishes with double-header

Two Premier League matches kick off simultaneously at 19:15 GMT this evening and bring Gameweek 12 to a close.

Arsenal are looking to end a three-game losing streak at the Emirates when they take on Burnley, while Leicester City’s own iffy home form will be put to the test against Brighton and Hove Albion.

The absence of Tariq Lamptey (£4.8m) from the Seagulls’ matchday squad is the headline team news, with Graham Potter saying the wing-back’s omission was precautionary in nature:

The exclusion of Lamptey is one of three changes that Graham Potter has made from Monday’s 2-1 defeat by Southampton, with Aaron Connolly (£5.3m) and Adam Webster (£4.4m) also dropping out.

Neal Maupay (£6.1m), Alireza Jahanbakhsh (£5.4m) and Dan Burn (£4.3m) are recalled for Albion.

As for Leicester, Brendan Rodgers has largely stuck with the same side that snatched a last-gasp win over Sheffield United last Sunday.

Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) is in for Nampalys Mendy (£4.5m) but the Foxes are otherwise unchanged.

In north London, Mikel Arteta has made just one alteration from their defeat to Spurs.

It’s an enforced one, too, with the injured Thomas Partey (£5.0m) replaced by Mohamed Elneny (£4.4m) in central midfield.

Sean Dyche has named the same starting XI that drew 1-1 against Everton last weekend.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Willian, Xhaka, Elneny, Saka, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Brady, Wood, Rodriguez.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Fofana, Evans, Fuchs, Albrighton, Tielemans, Ndidi, Justin, Pérez, Maddison, Vardy.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Veltman, Dunk, Burn, Bissouma, White, March, Gross, Jahanbakhsh, Maupay, Welbeck.

      They haven't turned it on. Both teams look bad / have cracks. Brighton just a tad worse.

      Fuchs, Foffana, Tielemans have been slowing Leicester down and still are. Perez still has yet to find his footing in this team. Evans will get wrecked against Spurs. Kane captain for that one is looking good.

      I've definitely noticed a collective madness that takes over on this site when events happen, like Jota getting injured. Suddenly, even though 90m not guaranteed, upending entire teams was worth it just to get him in. I saw people talking about 8pt hits, with fit players, just so they didn't miss him out. But actually was it ever certain that Salah would outperform Vardy on those fixtures? If you can argue the toss either way, probably not worth chucking out your team with pt hits!

        Agree with this trying to follow less the way the herd moves. Salah became the must have and wrecked my brain last week trying to figure how to get him in.

        Decided in the end was going to rip my team up for one player when other premiums like Kane who captained, KDB and Bruno all got good fixtures coming and capable of scoring against anyone.

      Home fixture does mean something, as difficult to understand as it is. One would think the players would just adjust and be prepared for the differences. But, there are a lot of different variables so maybe it's just too much sometimes.
