Iheanacho starts for Leicester as highly-owned Antonio leads West Ham attack

There are three Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 BST today – Crystal Palace v Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa and West Ham United v Brentford.

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira names an unchanged starting XI after Monday night’s 1-1 draw with rivals Brighton and Hove Albion. The Eagles are unbeaten in their three Premier League home matches this season, conceding just one goal at Selhurst Park so far.

For Leicester, Kelechi Iheanacho (£7.0m), who was unable to feature in Thursday’s UEFA Europa League game due to an issue with his travel documents, starts alongside Jamie Vardy (£10.4m), with Hamza Choudhury (£4.5m) and Ademola Lookman (£6.0m) also featuring.

Ricardo Pereira (£5.5m) drops to the bench, with Jonny Evans (£5.4m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.9m) unavailable.

Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur are looking to avoid a fourth straight Premier League defeat, and make three changes from last weekend. Emerson Royal (£5.0m), Cristian Romero (£4.9m) and Oliver Skipp (£4.5m) all come in, replacing Japhet Tanganga (£4.6m), Davinson Sanchez (£4.5m) and Dele Alli (£6.5m).

Son Heung-min (£10.0m), who has netted three of Spurs’ four Premier League goals this season including both at home, is involved, as is the 5.1% owned Harry Kane (£12.1m).

Opponents Aston Villa, who are going for a third win on the bounce, are unchanged. As a result, Leon Bailey (£6.4m) and Morgan Sanson (£5.0m) both miss out, with Dean Smith hopeful the pair will return after the international break.

West Ham United name the same starting XI that began their 2-1 win at Leeds United in Gameweek 6. Vladimir Coufal (£5.0m) returns after missing their European tie against Rapid Vienna with a groin injury, and starts alongside the highly-owned Said Benrahma (£6.6m) and Michail Antonio (£8.0m)

For Brentford, head coach Thomas Frank makes two changes, as Mathias Jorgensen (£4.5m) and Shandon Baptiste (£5.0m) replace Kristoffer Ajer (£4.5m) and Frank Onyeka (£4.9m).

      Didn't see the soucek touch tbh, need a better angle

    • Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Phwoar, that was some strike from Bowen!

    • squ1rrel
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Of course I benched Bowen on my draft team...

    • Zilla
      • 6 Years

      Soucek A

    • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

      Bowen’s head is too big for his body

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        It would fit better on Shaw.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Shaw’s body is too small for his arse and belly

          1. el polako
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            That's what I mean, with Bowens head he'd look like garden gnome.

    • Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Interesting that Foden is starting up top, he must really like Jesus out wide or I presume there's going to be movement once the game starts

      1. Harry the Hack
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Jesus indicated he wants to play wide

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Hmm didn't know that, good for his minutes then?

      The St. John's ambulance guy at Palace looks like he's about to take on Chernobyl

      One of those gws where everyone u don't own scores. Horrible way to go into an IB

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Especially when you're looking to WC during the IB!

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years

          Those WCing won't get many lroce rises.

      Gallagher 2
      ESR 3!!!!
      Benrahma 2
      Ronaldo 1

        This might not be the game for you mate.

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I had 6 good seasons but the last 45 game weeks have been horrendous

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        At least you're in the Anti-FPL Top 10K.

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Surely I'm higher than that!

      3. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Oh look you arent including white anymore

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          White and Sanchez got me clean sheets but unfortunately all my rivals have them. Still not made 30 points again which is horrific

        2. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          In fact they are my only players that didn't blank, have Salah too but he is irrelevant and Sissoko with 2 coming in for TAA, pretty unlucky mate.

      4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Hope you captained ESR

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          No picked the right fixture and went Lukaku but luck wasn't on my side

    • Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Son 2 baps!

    • sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Given as Targett OG. So, no Son Assist?

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Apparently Moura never touched it so it's a Son assist.

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          There you go!

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Still a Son assist. Moura didn't touch it.

      Wow Olise can take a corner nicely as well - something we not had for years.

      Typical with Pep that when I was considering bringing in Foden next week, seeing him playing this week nearly puts me off instead of making me feel more convinced by it

    • GlamRock Chauffeurs

      • 11 Years

      Lukaku/Raphina/Dias
