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).

  12. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Purely for entertainment, which one of the three games do I watch the last 10 minutes of?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 19 days ago

      West Ham v Brentford or Palace v Leicester

  13. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Gallagher will probably be benched from now on too

    1. Steinburg FC
      5 years, 19 days ago

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 19 days ago

        They were losing until the took him off and I've brought him in!

        1. Fish up a tree
          5 years, 19 days ago

          You ever thought of taking up bridge..

    2. grumpyman
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Why would he be benched?

  14. One More Hit
    5 years, 19 days ago

    What an FPL weekend

    1. Bobby Digital
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Not.

  15. TheTinman
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Stars aligning for a Jota brace

    1. JBG
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Hopefully that brace is from YCs.

  16. DycheDycheBaby
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Jota to punish sellers. Including me!!

  17. MGD
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Jotagod starts!!

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Its DioGOAT

  18. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Jota -> Raph (-4).. have mercy

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Jota to ESR
      To be very I was very unlucky not to get anything from ESR and was under the impression Jota wouldn't start

  19. DycheDycheBaby
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Rivals all captained Lukaku and Ronaldo. This will be a hard pill to swallow if Antonio blanks 🙁

    1. TomSaints
      5 years, 19 days ago

      It’s so annoying, just a bad week all round

  20. Woy_is_back
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Come on Antonio, score ffs

  21. TheBiffas
    5 years, 19 days ago

    grab the winner vardy

  22. diesel001
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Own Jota, but if he gets anything more than 2 points it will be fortunate.

    That people are happy he is starting shows how unreliable of a FPL asset he is.

    1. Gabistuta
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Or how unreliable taking any notice of this place is. Jota, at that price, looking more and more a season keeper.

  23. Hughes Your Daddy
    5 years, 19 days ago

    "Jordan Ayew: 0 goals in his past 36 games (2,364 minutes) for Palace. Michael Olise: 1 goal in his first 22 minutes for Palace" - hopefully Olise starts next game, looks class! 🙂

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Honestly, fantastic recruitment this year. Eze to come back too!

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Are you really a Palace fan at heart?

      2. Hughes Your Daddy
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Yeah, indeed - can imagine the havoc they will both cause on the pitch together 🙂

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      5 years, 19 days ago

      In fairness to Ayew he always puts a shift in.

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        5 years, 19 days ago

        True, he works his socks off - got us through some dark times last season when he was scoring as well. Just liking this progression with more young players coming in. We had the oldest squad for many seasons.

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Was brilliant for Reading last season, hope he flourishes!

  24. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Schmeichel has to be my worst pick on WC. Might bite the bullet and ship him this week

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 19 days ago

      If you have WC worth resection in the nets there.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Huh?

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 19 days ago

          Reslecing the keeper. As you say.

    2. Puntillimon
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Same boat as you. It has been a disaster.

  25. Grand Thibauto
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Spurs goal given an OG. Who gets the assist then?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 19 days ago

      The scorer gets the assist

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Son because the cross was originally thought to be tapped in by Moura, but it wasn't.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 19 days ago

        Ahh good spot

  26. fish&chips
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Could do with a Guaita pen save honestly

  27. Rainer
    5 years, 19 days ago

    Vardy clattered.

    1. g40steve
      5 years, 19 days ago

      Not looking good deliberate foul

  28. MGD
    5 years, 19 days ago

    A guy in the possibly largest derby in Sweden scores in the 45th and removes his shirt just to receive….

    …his second yellow. Hahaha

    1. MGD

  29. tbos83
    5 years, 19 days ago

    C'mon Benny do something pleeeeease

  30. jack88
    5 years, 19 days ago

    2 assists, 1 CS for me in this gameweek

    1. Steinburg FC
      5 years, 19 days ago

      more then me... and on a -8

    2. Fish up a tree
      5 years, 19 days ago

      There’s always one giving it the Charlie big potatoes!
