2pm team news: Richarlison starts, Maddison and White miss out

Double Gameweek 36 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Arsenal v Leeds United, Leicester City v Everton and Norwich City v West Ham United.

All three fixtures kick-off at 14:00 BST, with Manchester City v Newcastle United to follow later on.

The big FPL team news arrives at the King Power Stadium, where James Maddison is absent from the matchday squad.

Brendan Rodgers, meanwhile, freshens up his side following Thursday’s exit to Roma in the Europa Conference League semi-finals, with only five players – Kasper Schmeichel, Jonny Evans, Wesley Fofana, Youri Tielemans and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – retaining their places.

Everton name an unchanged XI following their 1-0 win over Chelsea in Gameweeek 35. That means Richarlison is fit to start despite suffering from some soreness in his ankle.

At the Emirates, Mikel Arteta makes just the one change, with Cedric Soares coming in at left-back in place of Nuno Tavares, who drops to the bench. That means Ben White misses out once again because of a tight hamstring.

For the visitors, Diego Llorente returns at centre-back in place of Pascal Struijk. That’s one of three changes, with Daniel James and Joe Gelhardt also in for the injured Stuart Dallas and Rodrigo.

Norwich’s only alteration sees Jacob Sorensen replace Mathias Normann.

As for West Ham, they have made two changes from their Europa League defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, with Lukasz Fabianski and Said Benrahma coming in for Alphonse Areola and Tomas Soucek.

    Bench boost with Adams (0) and Justin (0) feels great. No pressure Dubravka

    Damn Arsenal has improved. Can't troll them anymoreeeee

    Saka is finished.

    As much as it pains me to say, I like how Arsenal have built themselves up over the last couple of years or so.

    Faith in youth, giving the manager time. Sensible recent transfers. Year without Europe has no doubt helped, but guess you need that sometimes.

    Really hope they make UCL over Spurs (and that we don't drop out! 😆 )

        Crazy thing is plenty of fans wanted arteta out very recently, boggled my mind

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Plenty will even with Top 4, it's funny

          I think I can understand the frustration at times. Maybe he's not the guy to take them to the next level - but he's achieved what they set out & helped change the philosophy. Even gave the older players a bit of time to prove themselves first & when that didn't work, changed it up. Xhaka lost the armband, but he wasn't locked out. Lots of little things - respect his management.

        Easy to have faith in youth when the youth is Saka and ESR! 😀

          Great players. Even though you're the red half, can't hate the top London talent.

          (This doesn't apply to Spuds yet.)

      2. Arteta
        • 8 Years

        Is there anyone who was brave enough to go with Eddie (c) on FFS?

        Has to be a red. Two footed and reckless.

        • R.C
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Ayling to Xhaka: reckon that's a red m8?

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            Xhaka looked jealous.

        • Rainer
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Raphinha wants a red too.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              1 year, 11 months ago

              Would have been off if that was Riley

            • Rainer
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 11 months ago

              I'd just take him off and save for Chelsea.

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  1 year, 11 months ago

                  Can definitely see him making a challenge to get sent off now

                • 3 Years
                1 year, 11 months ago

                Think he'll be off at HT if he makes it that far

            • My heart goes Salalalalah

              Raphinha YC 😆

              Ayling walking off with Dallas and his broken leg

            • Feanor
              • 14 Years
              1 year, 11 months ago

              I considered Ayling to replace Schar but got Tavares instead.

            • DycheDycheBaby
              • 8 Years
              1 year, 11 months ago

              Send Raph off too!!

              • 8 Years
              1 year, 11 months ago

              Arteta should sub Saka immediately. Don't want him injured for the derby.

            • Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              1 year, 11 months ago

              How can the ref give a yellow if he didn't see it? What is it about the challenge that he missed, such that VAR is entitled to get him to review it? Do I not understand the VARules?

              1. Hairy Potter
                • 9 Years
                1 year, 11 months ago

                The angle? Didn't see it was two footed?

                1. Deulofail
                  • 8 Years
                  1 year, 11 months ago

                  Can't imagine he missed that from any angle tbh

              Gelhardt off. Some BBers getting a decent point there.

                Little chance of a Greenwood cameo now

              Arsenal 5 goals behind Spuds. They could do a Bristol Rovers here
