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.

    Look, I'm sorry for being that guy. I've had a crap season until now so I want to brag a bit. 74 points and finally up to 600k after weeks of being over a million.

    Can do Jota to Zaha but will need to do Chilwell to James to fund it. Worth a -4 or better to go for Ward-Prowse/Neto or someone like that? James looks more of a threat than Chilwell so think that’s a decent LT move anyway.

    Pick a move:

    Marinez - Forster
    Chilwell - Dallas - Bednarek - Coufal - Mitchell
    Salah - Bruno - Grealish - *Jota* - Bissouma
    Kane - Vardy - DCL

    A) Jota -> JWP for FT (and then Vardy + Grealish -> Bamford + KDB later)
    B) Jota -> Soucek (and then same move above)
    C) Jota + Vardy -> Son + Bamford for -4
    D) Chilwell + Jota + Vardy -> Stones + KDB + Bamford for -8 (exact funds to do this now)

    Squad is a bit threadbare at moment with Kilman, Cancelo, Mitchell, Jota & Brewster all problems.

    Looking at Kilman & Jota to Dias & Soucek (-4). This leaves 2.4 ITB which means I can do Grealish to Son whenever I fancy. Good move?
