Leicester City v Arsenal gets Gameweek 10 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway, with kick-off at the King Power Stadium at 12:30 BST. See our Matchday Live if you want to watch along with Gianni!

There were injury and illness concerns for both sides heading into the Saturday lunchtime fixture but in the end, there is only one change across either team from Gameweek 9.

It’s Brendan Rodgers who makes it, as Luke Thomas replaces the injured Ricardo Pereira.

Mikel Arteta, therefore, sticks with the Arsenal side that started the Gunners’ 3-1 victory over Aston Villa eight days ago.

Ben White has been passed fit to start, while Martin Odegaard makes the bench after recovering from injury.

There is still no Kieran Tierney, however, who has been absent with an ankle problem.

Jamie Vardy was passed fit by Rodgers in midweek and is part of a two-pronged strike force alongside Kelechi Iheanacho.

Vardy has 11 goals and one assist in his 13 previous Premier League meetings with the Gunners, averaging a round 7.0 points per match.

The veteran striker, owned by almost one-third of all FPL managers and just over 50% of the top 10,000, is the most popular player on show in this fixture.

GAMEWEEK 10 LINE-UPS

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Castagne, Amartey, Evans, Soyuncu, Thomas, Tielemans, Soumare, Maddison, Iheanacho, Vardy.

Subs: Ward, Bertrand, Barnes, Choudhury, Dewsbury-Hall, Vestergaard, Ndidi, Daka, Lookman

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tavares, Partey, Lokonga, Saka, Smith Rowe, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Subs: Leno, Odegaard, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Soares, Pepe, Elneny, Kolasinac, Martinelli

      Whats up with mount

      1. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Benched

  2. Gudjohnsen
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Vardy finally showing his age?

    1. jack88
      5 years, 9 days ago

      No. He will score brace once we are done selling him

  3. thegaffer82
    5 years, 9 days ago

    James owners must be feeling mightily relieved right now.

    I'm not sure it means he's more nailed, as I suspect Azpi's injury had some bearing on James starting today.

    But, enjoy the points!

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Gosh im so relieved

    2. Balls of Steel
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Relieved but think Newcastle score today.

    3. Flair
      5 years, 9 days ago

      James is a fantastic RWB, better than Azpi there, and Tuchel has commented on the need for him (and Chilwell) with no set striker, I don't think it mattered that much.

    4. Piggs Boson
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Massively relieved! Expected a benching for sure.

      Chilwell & James double up against Newcastle feels good though 🙂

  4. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Ramsdale absolute legend?

  5. Jafooli
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Mark transferred out Mount at 16:15hrs today.

    Just thought I’d mention it. 😉

    1. Botman and Robben
      5 years, 9 days ago

      And got Jota

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 9 days ago

      For benched Jota
      Also sold ESR and James

      1. Jafooli
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Was a rollercoaster WC for sure….

  6. Botman and Robben
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Jota fail

  7. Baron Penguin

    Mount and Jota in on a WC. Worried about James minutes so swapped James and Smith-Rowe out for Rudiger and fodder. Still, early days! Jota on for a late goal and Hwang off the bench for Mount.

  8. Sif
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Azpilicueta benched again 🙁
    Swapped for Rudiger injury and not played since. Would have been better of keeping Rudiger but Norwich was too tasty.

  9. Bubz
    5 years, 9 days ago

    I hate Vardy so much

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Chat **** get banged

    2. Gudjohnsen
      5 years, 9 days ago

      This

      100%

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      5 years, 9 days ago

      This. I never learn.

    4. Jafooli
      5 years, 9 days ago

    5. dshv
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Same put ramsdale on the bench because of him and wait to score

  10. TheBiffas
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Azpi was never as nailed as people believed

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 9 days ago

      Sold James today to Chilwell so I don’t need to check weekly lineups. Assumed Azpi would start it he’s back.

    2. thegaffer82
      5 years, 9 days ago

      It was his injury though that kept him out today surely!

      I think nobody is 'nailed' in that Chelsea DF, but Azpi among the most nailed for sure. Will probably play 3 out of every 4 when fit

  11. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Another save Ramsdale … for the love of god Leicester score!

  12. Forza Papac

  15. Salarrivederci
    5 years, 9 days ago

  16. jack88

  21. Gazwaz80
    5 years, 9 days ago

    Hi everyone
    If my bench is f/w def and mid in that order and one of my mids doesn’t play do I still get that mid even though he’s last on my bench? Cheers people, I know I should understand this by now 🙂

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 9 days ago

      No first on bench comes on as log as you have two midfielders starting.

      1. Gazwaz80
        5 years, 9 days ago

        Cheers Messiah

    2. banskt
      5 years, 9 days ago

      No, you get the f/w. First from bench.

      You always get substitute in bench order as long as its a legal team formation.

  22. Hutchiniho
    5 years, 9 days ago
