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.

    Watford without Foster cannot survive

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      What happened to Foster? Surely back first choice

    Mbuemo haul taken away

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      S$it

  11. Bartowski

    The fact that in two games Carrick has actually applied a game plan in terms of personnel he's deployed and positioning makes Ole's just send out the same team and hope for some individual brilliance even more bizarre in how long he got away with it.

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

      Shows the amount of individual brilliance that squad has, tbh

    2. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I agree, but I don't think Ole was helped when Fergie was overheard criticising him for starting Ronaldo on the bench.

  12. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    So, had Kane, Reggy, Cornet & Foden. With Livramento & Duffy to come in.. Yay 🙁

  13. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Need to sell Mbeumo and Jesus

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

    Benching probably drives another Ronaldo price drop, already on -72%
    Good for those planning to bring in in GW16

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Likelihood of him not fitting into Rangnick's style would be a worry though

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

    surely no one still owns Mbeumo

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Surely no one still makes ‘surely no one owns’ comments …

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Finally sold him this week...

  16. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Benitez could be gone soon

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Make or break on Wednesday

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Fat Sam is available

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Insanity, he was doing well until all the crazy injuries

      • Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        That would easily be Everton's loss

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Super Toney 🙂

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Mbeumo is OOP mid and cheaper though

    5. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      First time watching Brentford. Mbeumo is rotten

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        He is a poor player for this level. He needs those extra milliseconds he gets in the Championship to make decent contributions.

        The stats, but the stats

      I know Newcastle are terrible and all but is anyone else looking at Willock (5.7) for the next 2? I've got to get rid of Sarr and the talent pool up to

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        He is playing in a midfield double pivot. Rarely threatening the box anymore

        1. Duke Silver ☑
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Ta. Would Fraser be worth a punt?

          1. TheTinman
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Not nailed. Its Wilson or ASM or nobody for us I think

    7. borat
      • 8 Years

      Come on Vardy. Get your hattie

    8. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Come on Vardy, get that BAP (preferably via a goal)

    9. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy on 2 baps 🙁

    10. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      This has been a shocker (43 -4) but I am so happy to have sold Mbeumo

    11. Kodap

      Is Dennis injury bad?

    14. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Toney limping...

      1. Duke Silver ☑

        Back injury from carrying Brentford.

    15. diesel001

      Toney and Mbeumo are poor players for this level. Toney is fortunate to be on penalties.

      1. the axolotl
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Toney got man of the match

      2. Patron

        Toney is an ultimate troll donkey, that’s what he is.

    16. Forza Papac

      City baps race heating up

    17. Patron

      Really gave my best not to rant on here trough Tot being called off and all the trolls scoring, but can someone tell me has this foken donkey Jesus even had a shot?

      Cheers and have a nice evening.
