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.

    Soucek or Lookman? to replace jota mainly for bench duties to free up funds for other moves.

      Exactly the same dilemma. Leaning towards Lookman for the attacking potential over the next 3. Soucek has the double gameweek though,

        Yeah I’ve been thinking Soucek but then something is pulling me towards Lookman. Good point about the double though that may swing it back to Soucek.

          Just watching the highlights from the Liverpool match wants me to get in on the Fulham attack for the next few easier matches- they look confident and hungry.

      Why not have both? Then you can have 3 of the big boys in midfield. I'm thinking of doing similar and want the this midfield for GW16 - Salah, Bruno, Son, Soucek, Bissouma.

        I’ve got Welbeck who I want to play against Fulham and shef Utd but like to have a strongish bench especially around Christmas.

      Why does the -8 actually seem like the best option here:

      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) Chilwell + Jota + Vardy -> Stones + KDB + Bamford for -8 (exact funds to do this now)

      Cheers!
