The 17:30 BST kick-off between Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City rounds off the day’s Premier League action.

There is more Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest in this fixture than usual, with a combination of widespread Wildcard deployment and a reduced fixture list leading to a small spike in popularity for Spurs players in particular.

Four of the 11 most-bought FPL assets of Gameweek 8 come from Antonio Conte’s squad but one of them, Son Heung-min, doesn’t start tonight.

But the other three, Harry Kane, Ivan Perisic and Dejan Kulusevski, make the hosts’ starting XI this evening.

Son is one of four players who drop out of the line-up from Tuesday’s Champions League defeat at Sporting Lisbon.

Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal are also among the substitutes, while Ben Davies is injured and misses out.

Dejan Kulusevski, Davinson Sanchez, Ryan Sessegnon and Clement Lenglet all come into the starting XI, with Sessegnon’s inclusion presumably meaning that Perisic starts on the right flank – something that Conte hinted at in his pre-match presser.

As for the visitors, Jamie Vardy is benched for the second successive league match as Patson Daka is entrusted with the responsibility of leading the line.

Brendan Rodgers has made three changes from Gameweek 8, with new signing Wout Faes handed a debut and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Timothy Castagne recalled.

Boubakary Soumare, Luke Thomas and Kelechi Iheanacho are benched.

GAMEWEEK 8 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Lenglet, Sessegnon, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Richarlison, Kulusevski, Kane.

Subs: Forster, Doherty, Romero, Royal, Tanganga, Bissouma, Skipp, Gil, Son.

Leicester City XI: Ward, Justin, Faes, Evans, Castagne, Maddison, Ndidi, Tielemans, Barnes, Dewsbury-Hall, Daka.

Subs: Iversen, Thomas, Amartey, Albrighton, Praet, Soumare, Perez, Iheanacho, Vardy.

      1. Super-Anders
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        It’s like they don’t go their own definition if the save is easy…

    4. SirWenger
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

    Why Konte takes off Perisic so early is beyond me

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He’s nearly 50 bro

    This new Leicester CB is quite good. I've been impressed by his composure. The team as a whole though needs to get a proper set piece coach though...

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      And a keeper that can defend and organize on set pieces

  14. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Perisic sighted with an ice pack on his calf

  15. _Ninja_

  17. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years

    1. DARE TO BISCAN

      Yellow for handball

  18. Rainer

  19. TorresMagic™

    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years

    Lovely Lloris save.

  20. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Two of the best saves of season today

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Lol this was an ok save not really best of the season

  21. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Maddison assist close

  22. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Sonny on

  23. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Son is scoring, inevitable

  24. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Conte ain't waiting till 60 to make the subs

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Didn't Perisic get taken off early in Inter too?

  25. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Oh pi** off Lloris, would have been a Maddison assist.

  26. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Son brace and nothing more from Kane will be annoying

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not for those with both 😎

  27. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    How close

  28. Santi sensei
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Perisic's delivery is really good. But playing time is the problem with him. Do we get Dier instead on WC?

    1. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No not at all. It is one sub before 60. And he is involved in nearly every goal

  29. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Great to have a good game of football today...

    Spurs have been terrible
