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

    Though to decide what to do about that, CR7 costs plenty and Rashford/Sancho are expensive too.

    Dias - Rudi - Cancelo - TAA

    Jota - B Silva - Salah

    Dennis - Antonio - Vardy

    Had a wild idea of doubling up on City defenders, but not sure about their clean sheet capability atm. Would ditching Rudi and Dias to free up some funds be a good shout?

It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are... it will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

    Foster - Livra Brownhill Toney

    Well well, all the hot assets are in midfield, but I don't think I can sell any of my current crop. Toney probably misses Watford, the only replacement I'd be interested in is Dennis, but I already own King. So save I guess? Maybe Vardy to Antonio if he plays the full game midweek?
