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

      Watkins based on fixtures. Wilson based on form.

      Antonio fixtures also swinging.

      I’m on Watkins, Antonio and King myself.

      Antonio and Lukaku have been quite ok for me. Got their points and when they blanked, so did everyone else. Kane has showed nothing so far in PL, so he can have trolled anyone serious. Everyone knew the risks at the beginning of the season and nothing has changed since then.

        He shouldn't have trolled anyone, I mean. Trolling means showing good convincing form and then failing after that.

    Not ideal taking hits 2 consecutive weeks but these look decent moves to me.

    Thoughts on Dennis/King and Watkins up front for the next few games? Can' really find many options there.

    Or Antonio instead of one of the above?
