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

          Why? Palace have decent games 3 out of next 5 and Burnley the same. Perhaps you can offer your advice?

            Cornet went off injured the other day and let’s be honest, the Man City attack is levels above Palace and Burnley. Bernardo is levels above either of those two. Yes there will be rotation but if he starts 4/5 out of the next 6 he will out score the other two. Bernardo has also started every match since GW2 (and played the full 90 in all but 2 of those games) so not as risky as you suggest. Every team will rotate over Christmas so don’t make choices based on this. Man City are fairly settled now, not the ever changing Man City of last season

    Thinking Vardy, Dias and Rudi's are the outs, yeah?

    Not sure to get in some spurs or some Utd, really tempted just to give up on strikers this season, go for cheap ringers and spend on midfield.

    Considering some of the starting 11 is this bench too poor?

      It all sounds great except for the Son out bit. On balance it might be worth it as your squad will be much better overall.
