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.

  12. The Philosopher

    Talked all day yesterday about capping Son but went with Haaland in the end. Why didn't I follow my crazy ideas?!?

    1. 3 A
      • 10 Years

  13. Bobby Digital

  21. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

  22. Josh.E
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    there was no way I was getting Son with his form and bench rumors, fair play to those that got him

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I agree.

  23. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Didn't Kaptain Kane or someone else say Spurs will win 6-2?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      He did

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He says a lot of things. A broken clock is right twice a day.

    3. MOTHRA
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He did and is revelling in the glory

  24. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    With his poor form and rumours of being dropped, hats off to those who bought Son in and captained him too

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Captaining him over Haaland was a massive gamble for anyone who took it

  25. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Oh, great. KDB Mitrovic over Son Isak going amazingly then. & no Kane…

    At least I still have the WC to fix this? 🙁

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

    Thought was Kane assist for last one

  27. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I'm confuzzled

    Am I still in the mud being a Son owner ?

  28. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    TAA + Harrison to Patterson + Son for free? Kneejerk o'clock

  29. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago
