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

    Any suggestions?

    Toney > Broja and play 442? With Dennis & Antonio up top & ESR on the bench?

    Sanchez
    TAA - Cancelo - Rudiger - James
    Salah - Son - Jota - Bernardo
    Antonio - Dennis

    Steele - ESR - Broja - Lamptey

    Already did Kane > Ronaldo

    Could also sell Cornet for -4
    What would you do?
    a) swap for Mount
    b) swap for Bowen
    c) swap for another up to 7.6
    d) keep Cornet

        At the same time it could be a good game to captain Ronaldo against Norwich. Then it would be worth it.

        Saying that, I would rather pack midfield with mid price players, of which there are a plethora of options and save money on strikers.

          If you look at the GW16-27 fixtures coming up, you just can't ignore Man U players. The only one I fully trust is Ronaldo for now. So I fully support that decision. Just like I supported my Kane decision, even when it turned out to be a bust.

    Antonio Conte doesn't think the injury for Sergio Reguilon is serious... "On one end I was a bit disappointed for Serge with the injury, but I spoke with him and we don't think it's a bad injury. On the other hand, you get an opportunity to see Ryan Sessegnon come on."
