Three more Premier League matches follow hot on the heels of Arsenal’s victory over Manchester United.

Leicester City v Aston Villa, Manchester City v Watford and Norwich City v Newcastle United start at the traditional kick-off time and all feature some well-owned Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assets.

Brendan Rodgers makes four changes with one eye on Thursday’s Europa Conference League semi-final against Roma.

Caglar Soyuncu and James Justin replace Jonny Evans and Ricardo Pereira at the back, while further forward, Ademola Lookman and Patson Daka come in for Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Jamie Vardy, meanwhile, makes his return from injury as a substitute.

Aston Villa, who are on a run of four defeats in a row, opt for two changes from the 4-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur, as Ashley Young and Leon Bailey replace the injured Lucas Digne and Danny Ings.

At the Etihad, Pep Guardiola makes six changes from Wednesday’s win over Brighton and Hove Albion.

Gabriel Jesus, Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling all feature in attack, while Ruben Dias makes his first start since March as he partners Aymeric Laporte in defence.

For the visitors, Jeremy Ngakia, Tom Cleverley and Joshua King come in as Kiko Femenia and Juraj Kucka miss out with minor knocks and Joao Pedro drops to the bench.

Norwich face Newcastle at Carrow Road and Dean Smith makes just one change with Christoph Zimmermann in for Ben Gibson at the back.

Eddie Howe, however, rings the changes as Fabian Schar and Chris Wood are benched, with Jamaal Lascelles, Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock and Jacob Murphy all brought into the side.

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years

        • 5 Years

    2. AC/DC AFC

      More points for the Community team picks!

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Woohoo. And for my own team this time too

    3. Scots Gooner

      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

    4. sandman58

      Ffs Cancelo.....assists the assister....TWICE

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Mmmm points dodging

    6. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      World-class cross from KDB (c)

    7. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Shouldn't have done that Werner/Laporte swap to Jesus/James on my FH 🙁

      1. HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Should have!

    8. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Would like Jesus at Arsenal, but not as a first-choice CF. I think Pepe needs to leave if he were to come. Pepe is a good finisher though...

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        People forget how good Jesus was in his first couple of seasons when City were used to playing with a striker and he wasn't rotated so much. 7g 4a in 10 apps (8 starts) and 13g 3a in 30 apps (19 starts)

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Those numbers are absolute. At Arsenal, he won't get as many chances. He's like 22 goals under his xG since he came to the PL I think

    9. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Could work out well this week...

      THFC4LIFE, who triumphed 74-48 in Gameweek 19, has set the target to beat.

      Overall, the Scout Picks are 24-9 up on the community this season.

      Our champion this week is The Mentaculus, who has gone for Robert Sanchez; Virgil van Dijk, Joao Cancelo, Marcos Alonso, Marc Guehi; Mason Mount (c), Kevin De Bruyne, Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Bukayo Saka; Timo Werner.

    10. TomSaints

      That KDB fake injury news last week has messed me up so bad.

      Would never have FH and be in such a good position as KDB is back to his best

      1. sandman58
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Even a broken clock is right twice a day

    11. bench boost for every gamew…

      1. Rainer

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Nowhere to hide for me.

    20. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      That'll take the edge off a few FHs played.

    21. bench boost for every gamew…
