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

      Daka is playing very well, so it seems uncertain, probably stays on the bench but he might put him on for 10 minutes.

      Depends on the score. If we're winning then he'll stay put I guess. He'll come on.

        One of the Watford boys (either, it don't matter), will have a line of blue fixtures as far as the eye can see any time now, and they do seem to score goals between them

      I'm happy with one hand on the ball like that meaning control for the keeper, I'm all for goals and favouring attackers but smashing it out of a keepers hand isn't the way, could seriously injure

        You are not "in control" of the ball if you only have one hand on it, I would consider that being partially in control of the ball, and therefore should not be a foul, this is my opinion.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods

          I'd consider it full control, it isn't moving anywhere unless you move it as the keeper or as in this case a striker smashed your hand off

            Like a lot of rules in football, managers and players want objectivity, but what is deemed as being "in control" is subjective and you therefore cannot have consistency in the rule.

                If he toe poked it into the goal and he did not touch Schmeichel's hand would you still consider that a foul because he was in control of the ball?

                  Yes, in the same way diving 2 footed leaping off your feet studs up and not connecting with the opposition's player can still be a red card

      The ~45,000 folks that already transferred him in for next week are probably happy as well.

    Sending the ref over to the monitor is a complete waste of everyone's time. I think maybe there was one time the ref kept the original decision.

    Was all set to remove Son to get Gundo/Bilva to double up with Foden who I already have.

    Do you think I should look at alternatives now and keep Son?

      Brighton might have players missing at the back. Might be worth holding Son for one more week.

      definitely, Son is always busting a gut to grab a goal, as is basically their striker, Kane is useless lol

    Made these transfers last night, had exact money.

    Son - Cornet - Mbeumo ->
    Foden - Bowen - Mount

    Didn't realize the CL fixtures were midweek! Hoping it doesn't backfire...
