Leicester City are unchanged as they travel to Southampton for Gameweek 34’s Friday-night opener.

That means James Maddison (£7.3m) retains his starting berth for the third Premier League match in a row since returning from injury.

While we do not have the benefit of the clubs’ official team reveals for Gameweek 34, the midfielder is likely to operate in the number 10 role behind Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.2m) and Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) tonight.

A lot of eyes will be on the later at St. Mary’s Stadium considering he lost approximately 90,000 owners for Gameweek 34, with Harry Kane (£11.8m) returning from his ankle problem ahead of facing Sheffield United.

Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) form the central-midfield pairing tonight with Luke Thomas (£4.1m) and Timothy Castagne (£5.8m) operating as wing-backs once again.

Wesley Fofana (£5.0m), Caglar Söyüncü (£5.3m) and Jonny Evans (£5.6m) are the back-three.

Danny Ings (£8.4m) is absent for Southampton while Alex McCarthy (£4.4m) has managed to hold onto his starting berth from the 2-1 defeat to Spurs.

Fraser Forster (£4.0m) is on the bench for the second Gameweek in a row.

Nathan Tella (£4.3m) and Che Adams (£5.7m) lead Saints’ attack with Takumi Minamino (£6.0m) and Nathan Redmond (£6.4m) either side of Stuart Armstrong (£5.5m) and James Ward-Prowse (£5.8m).

With no updates on social media this weekend, we will bring you live updates on all goals and assists from Southampton, which you can follow below.

  4. b91jh

      Could history be repeating itself ? Early red card in that game also

  5. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Come on Vardy. Decided to stick with and not get Kane

  6. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Worse than Balbeuna if this stands.
    As we keep saying the game is gone.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 years, 12 months ago

      VAR not reversing this. Ok I like Maddison on the free kick but so bad.

  7. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  10. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Oh dear. Sold Vardy for a hit for Kane. Don't like this at all!

  11. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Maddison wants it

  12. not_astarte
    • 5 Years

    Captain Vardy we go

  13. ChippyT
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    That's never a red...

  14. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    You couldn't make it up!
    Well done Nacho captainers and Vardy owners if he fit to continue

  15. aborg

    Here comes the demolishing of Southampton then. Another 9-0 incoming. Should have gone Nacho captain....I know what’s coming now

  16. g40steve

    Vardy walking like John Wayne’s saddle bags 🙂

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Does it look like he can continue?

  17. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    9-0 incoming.

  18. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    I watched the reply 9 times. 0 chance it wasn't a red

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Yeah. I'm so wondering where VAR is when it does matter.

      1. jason_ni
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        He is saying it was a red card.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Fishing rod or what cause you couldn’t be more wrong. And if you are right then rules are wrong. Either way it’s a disgracefully bad decision.

  19. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    What is wrong with Southampton and early red cards!?

    1. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      It's tactical

  20. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    How is that a red? Isn’t VAR here to correct horrendous miscarriages of justice like that?

  21. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Vardy this weeks differential gunna fail once again

  22. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Unlucky Nathan Tella owners

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Checked the LiveFPL what if page - depressing just having Iheanacho in this game! Even if he got 9 points it would be 0.8% to my rank

  24. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Poor Southampton. Game's gone. You can't tackle anymore.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      It's pathetic.

  25. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Salisu on for Tella

  26. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Best to just avoid any Saints players in DGW 35

  27. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Come on Vardy!

  28. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    FFS can’t predict luck

  29. Bushwhacker
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Sport has gone nuts. He's miscontrolled it, sure, then he's got the ball clean as a whistle to take it away from Vardy. HOW ON EARTH IS THAT A RED CARD!?!?!??

    1. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      If that was a United player, you'd be screaming DEFINITE RED CARD

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Needs to be looked at for next season. Surely they shouldn't just ignore the fact when you get the ball first.

    If Rodgers was in charge of Southampton and had lost 9-0 twice and were on this run (Southampton are the worst PL team this year by results) he would have been destroyed by the media, the pundits and the fans.

    Hasenhuttl does it and there is nothing. He is given way too much of a pass.
