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.

  4. Qaiss
    • 10 Years

    Can't believe that.

    Delighted for Max but its a sour way to win it like that.

    Hamilton extremely unlucky.

    1. Radzio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Fully agree but it was a crazy season with so many ups and downs and shaky decisions to both.

      Don't like Hamilton but no doubt an amazing driver, probably GOAT for now.

  8. Botman and Robben

  12. The Train Driver

    If that isn't a dive by Maddison, I don't know what is...

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Massive dive

      2. The Train Driver
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        How the f didn't VAR look at that...

      3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, embarrassing seeing players in the air before coming near a tackle

      4. lugs
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        yeah he was going down way before the defenders leg touched him, *Maddison owner

    2. Treadstone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      What a ridiculous sport F1 is ...a lead of 11.5 seconds just forgotten....Here's one casual viewer who won't be watching F1 again.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        How’s it different to VAR making a blunder and giving a team a goal that costs a side a title

      2. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Did you just call it a sport?

      3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Sport!?

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      As if, could have been a Vardy party 🙁

    4. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Maddison assist! Small win

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

        Small win. Big differential.

    5. not_astarte
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      did Hamilton win or lose?

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

        He's stuck in a dream

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Mugged

    6. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      It’s so easy to win a penalty lately. Just run into the defender and fall over—instant penalty.

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Make sure you dont make a threatening face to their keeper on the way down. Or it will be a free kick to the gk.

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yes. And scream look at me I’m hurt!

    7. Bounce
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Fantasy F1 Scout?

    8. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      All cars should be allowed to overtake or none of them. Those are the rules

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        They were just desperate not to end it under SC and rushed it.

        Really poor.

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          No rushed it - rules are rules & they just ripped them up.

      2. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        This is correct the FIA are cheats, make the rules & then allow them to be broken!

      3. Ivan Toney Soprano
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Doesn't feel right that

    9. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A guy who mostly finished bottom half every season is having a blinder and the table topper in my main ML right now. Brought in Maddison this week. Making similar decisions all season so far.

    10. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy > Ronaldo is very tempting

      Worth a hit? Luxury transfer

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I wouldn't knowing Vardy will play the next game

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          How do we know that?

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

            He got rested in this match. Yet, I would do it anyway.

        2. Ask Yourself
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Not if Spurs still have Covid problems

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

            Which is very likely tbh.

          2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Ah forgot about that!

    11. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      The FIA are cheats only 5 lapped cars were let through not the others!

    12. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Latifi assist confirmed

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        No Glock to assist Hamilton this year

        1. Bennyboy1907
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          You win some you lose some

    13. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      F1 has always been a bit of a joke. But they couldn’t have done a better job of showing corruption / incompetence / just poor rubbish if they’d tried

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        +100

      2. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        They have been biased towards Max all season. Just incredible

        1. TomSaints
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Hamilton appeared to get a favourable decision early on today but that ending was just a joke

          1. Crunchie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            That's because Red Bull had nothing to lose at the start, If they had both crashed Max would have won the title

    14. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Saint Max beginning to wake up

    15. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      F1 is a ridiculous petrolwankfest anyway

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yes, but has led to major advances in fuel economy for road cars so cant be too critical on that front

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          They should write that down the side of their speedy little cars

    16. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Did Antonio expel all his energy in the first 3 games of the season?

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Burnley have a way to turn the beautiful game into the clumsy game

    17. NJ MetroStars
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Any updates on if Spurs will play on Thursday?

    18. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      Bur Whu such a snoozefest

    19. FPL Scoop

      Ffs of course Vardy’s on the bench when they get a pen 🙁

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

        Happened with Gundogan yesterday 🙁
