Sunday’s Premier League action continues in Birmingham as Aston Villa take on Leicester City in Gameweek 15.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

Steven Gerrard makes two changes to his starting XI, with Ashley Young and Jacob Ramsey coming in for Matt Targett and Leon Bailey, who both picked up injuries in midweek.

That suggests £4.5m midfielder Ramsey will feature in Villa’s front three, alongside Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins.

As for Leicester, Jamie Vardy – who is owned by 26.8% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers – is named as a substitute, as Patson Daka leads the line.

Kieran Dewsbury-Hall also comes in for Boubakary Soumare, who drops to the bench.

GAMEWEEK 15 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Young, Nakamba, McGinn, Luiz, Buendia, Ramsey, Watkins

Subs: Steer, Sanson, Tuanzebe, El Ghazi, Hause, Philogene-Bidace, Chukwuemeka, Davis, Iroegbunam

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Castagne, Evans, Soyuncu, Thomas, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndidi, Maddison, Lookman, Barnes, Daka

Subs: Ward, Vardy, Albrighton, Iheanacho, Perez, Choudhury, Vestergaard, Daley-Campbell, Soumare

    Only benefit of today is not really having any MU mid standing out and making the decision to get rid of Kane or Toney easier, although looking at Kane continue to stink up my team for another week will suck but he'll be on my bench at least. Hope he won't but expect he'll drop twice by next deadline

      I'm looking at this United fixture run with no idea who to get in to exploit it. De Gea feels like the only one I might get.

        At this stage only player I'm considering is Telles if he keeps Shaw out of the team when he's fit. I don't trust MU defensively but Telles will just continually put in crosses and then should take a lot of setpieces too but will have to wait on that

    Anyone have an opinion on how Palace were today against Man U ?
    Looking to fill my squad with some mid priced players for the inevitable xmas rotation & Palace seem to have as good a run as anybody. Zaha is one I'm interested in, how was he today?

      United just controlled them, nothing great.

      Zaha is too expensive and I've never liked him as an FPL player. Gallagher needs McArthur back to play more advanced. Benteke/Edouard share minutes too much.

        Yeah the strikers constantly sharing minutes is a pain, hence why I was toying with the Zaha punt. Gallagher probably the safest and value pick.

        Hi mate. Not fancy freeing up some cash by removing Kane and getting foden for brownhill. Could then use the cash to move Davis to playing striker and bench raphinha for tough games. Not convinced on ronaldo but fixtures are great

          I guess I could do with upgrading the bench a little for the festive period. None of the forwards are really standing out though, plus Raphina has horrible fixtures.

            I feel like Bowen will get more minutes.. he passed my eye test vs chelsea, i thought ESR was lucky to get his goal.. i might do it but unsure yet

              Isnt Bowen already nailed in this West Ham lineup?

                Nailed imo but surely get a rest here and there.. plus Moyes likes to tweak his lineup against the big boys

              Yeah I'm sure giving this a long thought... ESR is a great hold but fortune favours the brave so maybe it's a good move after all

        If Alonso if fit, I have no idea where to spend a FT...

        Ramsdale
        TAA - Cancelo - James - Alonso
        Salah - Son - Foden - Jota
        Antonio - Wilson

        Foster - King - Johnson - Brownhill

        2FTs, 0.2m

        Want to keep Antonio for his great fixtures, and ideally I keep Wilson for the Leicester game. Timing doesn't feel right for United players... so not sure... any ideas?

            Nice idea. This may well be what I do.

            I'll be wanting King in my XI pretty soon for his nice fixtures and extra funds may be handy to do Son->Bruno or Foden -> Rashy or something...

            Thanks!

          Here people would prefer Bowen ... I would be tempted by doubling City mids with Gundogan
