2pm kick-off team news as Burnley v Spurs is postponed

Sunday’s match between Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions, but there are still three Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 BST – Brentford v Everton, Leicester City v Watford and Manchester City v West Ham United.

For Man City, Phil Foden (£8.2m) and Jack Grealish (£7.6m) are both missing from the matchday squad, with Riyad Mahrez (£8.6m), Raheem Sterling (£10.6m) and Gabriel Jesus (£8.7m) leading the line in Pep Guardiola’s 4-3-3 formation.

Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) remains sidelined following his positive Covid-19 test.

David Moyes makes just the one change from Gameweek 12, as Jarrod Bowen (£6.4m) drops to the bench, with Arthur Masuaku (£4.4m) coming into the starting XI.

Meanwhile, Thomas Frank makes two changes from last weekend’s 3-3 draw at Newcastle United, as Charlie Goode (£3.9m) and Frank Onyeka (£4.9m) replace Mads Roerslev (£4.3m) and Saman Ghoddos (£5.3m), who are both benched.

Everton, who are winless since Gameweek 6, make three changes as Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.4m) returns from injury and starts ahead of Fabian Delph (£4.4m), while Alex Iwobi (£5.8m) and Salomon Rondon (£6.0m) also feature from the off.

Notably, Demarai Gray (£5.6m) returns from injury and starts on the bench.

Elsewhere, Leicester’s starting XI features Jonny Evans (£5.4m) and Jamie Vardy (£10.6m), while Ben Foster (£4.1m) misses out for Watford, with Daniel Bachmann (£4.2m) in goal.

    Vardy has been trolling us again. It's like having Zaha.

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years

      What !!

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years

      Add Maddison to that list

    3. pjomara
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hardly trolling when you're 2nd highest top scorer.

    Ronaldo benched

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      triple premium forwards in the snow

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

        Vardy ia doing ok today

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cleaner than the mud.

    2. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years

      You sounds surprised. Ralf thinks his is too old 😛

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No emotion. Just what's happening.

      2. Brehmeren
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thought he hadn't joined yet

  4. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Rudiger and James start

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

    United finally seeing how detrimental the signing of Ronaldo has been.

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      They got their kit sales, new fans, media attention. It was the plan all along

  6. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku on the bench

    1. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      And so the template started to creak

  7. Randaxus
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I think Dennis is one of the most underrated players in the premier league.

  8. Muchentuchel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What about Dennis? Got him in for Ronaldo and was willing to keep for at least 5 GWs.

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

      Just went off injured

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Important facts.

  9. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    No Ronny in starting XI!

    1. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Better team before he arrived

  10. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    If we replace Matic with Pogba this United set up looks very similar Deschamp's France XI

  11. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Whaaaaaay Ronaldo benched. Every cloud...

  12. 2999 - Lady of Legend
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Have a feeling Man U will win today.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Doubt it but at least the joke is over.

  13. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    No Shaw.

    Telles left back.

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

      Two head knocks.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      New guy doesn't rate him does he?

  14. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    So getting Kane now is like taking a -2?

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

      If you're holding till January, yes.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        You'd could average it over 6 games or so!

  15. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Jesus looking like he might score at all?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cresswell stopped him and got injured

      1. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Damn

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Johnson also stopped a goal from the line in first half. Insanely unlucky boy

  16. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ole - ‘we didn’t but Ronaldo for him to sit on the bench’ … umm .. 🙂

  17. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Not sure why I own Jesus and Antonio.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Better than owning Ronaldo

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thinking Dennis/King

    2. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Seriously considering selling Antonio for Saint-Max

      1. Muchentuchel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        don't. Get one: Dennis or King.

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Too late to sell Antonio now.

      Good games on the horizion.

  18. Randaxus
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    United team meeting: how do we beat Chelsea? I know let's not play the greatest goal scorer of all-time.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Beat? They're entirely set up to hold out for a 0-0

    2. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Doesn’t suit gen gen press

      1. Randaxus
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Bench Ronaldo all season then?

  19. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years

    Chalobah starting again

    Alonso and rudiger

    Points absolutely essential, let’s go!

    1. Randaxus
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      TAA Cancelo James Alonso Rudiger is the Meta defence imo

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      15 pointer for Alonso incoming

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

    Henry CS banked & a likely flag.

  23. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What are the chances that either Mount or Christensen come off the bench today?

    I may be down to 10 men, or.... pick up potential 12+ pointer from Dennis (3rd on the bench).

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mount yes prob 15 mins
      Christiansen no

      Have Mount second sub and will transfer out after this gw

  24. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku lurking on the bench

  25. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you start or bench Toney vs Tottenham next week?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would captain him tbh

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah. Without Romero there's no quality in defence.

  26. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    what points is everyone on?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on whether this Leicester game gets over the line or not

    2. Tigers Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      70 with Alonso & James to go

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      60 here, hoping I get Vardy's.
      2 CHE defenders to go.

    4. rupopo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      72 as it stands, with James and Alonso to go...happy days

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

      On current bonus, 79 with James to play.

    6. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      76 with James to come. Ecstatic with this tbh

    7. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      42 with 3 Chelsea defence to go.

      Not good.

    8. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      68 with James to go, ecstatic seeing as I was on 25 after yesterday's games

    9. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      nice some good scores, 66 here with no Kane or Reg show, Alonso left.

  27. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Havertz really didn't live up to that £72 million pound price tag....

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

      UCL winner means he'll forever be a hero.

      Still very young and had a very tough settling in period, he'll come good.

    Why tf did Sky choose the Brentford game as their 2pm game?

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

      Best weather

    2. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I know. They could have had 2nd v 4th. No brainer.

    3. Assisting the assister

      On their HQ doorstep and easy stadium to work with apparently
