There are two Premier League matches kicking-off at 14:00 GMT today – Burnley v West Ham United and Leicester City v Newcastle United.

Sean Dyche makes three changes from Gameweek 15, with Ben Mee, Jack Cork and Jay Rodriguez coming in for Nathan Collins, Josh Brownhill and Maxwell Cornet, who misses out with a thigh injury.

As for West Ham, they make two changes, with Arthur Masuaku and Said Benrahma replacing Ben Johnson and Kurt Zouma, both of whom are absent after sustaining hamstring injuries against Chelsea last week, as is Aaron Cresswell with an ongoing back problem.

Jamie Vardy once again starts on the bench for Leicester City, with Patson Daka preferred up front for a second successive week, flanked by Harvey Barnes and James Maddison.

Youri Tielemans also comes in for Ademola Lookman, who is absent from the matchday squad.

At Newcastle, Eddie Howe names an unchanged XI after picking up their first win of the season against Burnley in Gameweek 15. That means Callum Wilson, who has scored eight goals in his last 12 league appearances, leads the line in an attacking 4-2-3-1 formation.

    I've owned Maddi for 4 weeks
    42 points in that period

    Going into this last game with a grey arrow and Gallagher to play.
    Any kind of green would be great.

    Especially as I rolled my transfer - 2ft with these additional covid reports could be super useful.

    Hope Gallagher gets a hattie!

    Going to be a lot of Covid scares between now and Feb! Going for 15 strong names if I can.

    Sissoko ->
    A) Bowen. Decent fix but already got Antonio and don’t want too many double ups given potential cancellations

    B) Maddison. Grim fixtures, but would be only Leics player and he’s in nuts form. Obvs would have to wait to hear on Tott game
