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.

      Any Ghanians or speakers of Akan in? How to pronounce Nketiah?
      Allow me to geek-out for a second, and scroll by if you're uninterested.

      I always assumed you say the 'n' without a preceding/following vowel sound, but almost everyone I hear seems to say some variation with a vowel, like en-ketiah, un-ketiah, neh-ketiah, nuh-ketiah, etc...as opposed to nn-ketiah or ng-ketiah. I'm thinking the alternatives also seem plausible, and I might be wrong. So..

      I've taken a quick look through wiki and made the assumption that it is an Akan name. The wiki on the language isn't extensive, but from what I can tell, the [n-] prefix is used to create the plural, which is realized as /n/ when preceding a consonant with no additional vowel added either side (and /nn/ (i.e. long) when preceding a vowel (although the length maybe has more to do with what it's replacing than what's around it, or both)).

      Anyway, this seems to support my original assumption that you just say the /n/ (tongue to the roof of your mouth before making a voiced sound through your nose, and not releasing the tongue) until 'ketiah' (i.e. 'n-ketiah').

      It also suggests that 'ketiah' is a meaningful noun, and that 'nketiah' means multiple ketiahs. Anyone know what it means? Anyone more in the know? Are my assumptions right?

        He’s English - can’t we just say it how we say it?

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

          Nothing stopping you saying it the way I'm suggesting, unless you have a speech impediment

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