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.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Gudmundsson, Cork, Westwood, McNeil, Rodriguez, Wood

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Totally agree it just means -4 or -8

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Had you done it last week, you would have already gained that cost back. No reason to do same mistake again. Why do people fear taking hits more than getting points?!?

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Options either 1, Jesus & foden to ronaldo & d luiz -4, 2, Jesus, reg & cancello to Ron, dalot & 3.8m -8???

  4. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Maddison decent FK effort there.

    Hoping he can return something today - real differential for me.

  5. Ze_Austin

  11. BremerHB

  12. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years

    Anyone having second thoughts on fitting Ronaldo in?

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm really thinking of doing Vardy -> Ronaldo, Mr Alphabet

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Kill my team to get him but really tempted

    3. BremerHB
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He really removes all semblance of flexibility from my squad if I bring him in.
