Leicester v Palace team news: Daka again preferred over Vardy

A quieter-than-usual Saturday features only four Premier League matches, the first of which is Leicester City v Crystal Palace.

Kick-off at the King Power Stadium is at 12:30 BST.

There’s one change apiece for the two sides involved, with injury forcing Brendan Rodgers’ hand.

Daniel Amartey comes in at centre-half to replace Jonny Evans, who misses out with a calf strain.

Patson Daka leads the line again, with Jamie Vardy only among the substitutes.

Patrick Vieira’s only change from the victory over Leeds United sees Tyrick Mitchell come in at left-back, Jeffrey Schlupp move to midfield and Michael Olise drop to the bench.

James Maddison and Wilfried Zaha were both among the 10 most-bought midfielders of Gameweek 11, attracting over 530,000 transfers in between them.

Their Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ownerships are both now around the 20% mark as a result.

The pair have contrasting records against today’s opponents: Maddison has never scored against Palace, while Zaha has seven goals in his last nine appearances against the Foxes.

A reminder that a booking for Maddison today would see him miss Gameweek 12 through suspension, as it would be his fifth caution of the season.

GAMEWEEK 11 LINE-UPS

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

Subs: Iversen, Soyuncu, Thomas, Mendy, Albrighton, Praet, Perez, Iheanacho, Vardy.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Doucoure, Eze, Schlupp, Zaha, Edouard, Ayew.

Subs: Johnstone, Balmer, Tomkins, Milivojevic, Riedewald, Ebiowei, Olise, Gordon, Mateta.

    Annoying that Zaha blanked and Maddison booked, but I'm happy with Ward's 6 pts and Guehi's 7.
    One of those "players playing against each other" good outcomes.

    Why does this always happen. The week there is a blank leaving you already short of players just has to coincide with being further players down through suspensions/injuries! It just seems to happen so often.

    At one time I had a nice plan to field 11 players for GW 12. Now I see a team with 5 Arsenal and Man City Players. Had to use a transfer last week to get rid of Diaz. Own Reece James and Maddison, I’m tempted to free hit.

      Don't do it. Take the hits and move on. Last week I had five flags and five no GW12. I took a minus eight. I may need another one this week too. Your free hit is worth more than 16 points and your situation is better than mine was.

      Ah, I see Ward is up for 2 bonus points, great! So a three-point difference between the keepers instead of 5. Ward wasn't in the bonuses all match since there were so few attempts on net.

    I hope that the poster yesterday who asked whether to play Pope or Ward in goal this GW and was roundly jibbed for even asking the question, took my advice and not every other reply....

    .... Awaits a Pope clean sheet and three penalty saves.

      Not sure, Aurier might still start the next one - presser seemed to suggest he’s being eased in

      "Serge has only trained with us for a couple of weeks because he was away on the international break and it was important for him to get some good minutes and training sessions with Ivory Coast.

      "He's trained well since he's been back with us and gave him 45 minutes against Leicester. It was another positive for him to get more match minutes under his belt because he didn't have a pre-season.

      "We then started him against Villa and trusted in his experience and ability and that proved to be a positive in the game. He's working his way up to playing a full 90 minutes and it was a good step forward for him because he's been impressive on and off the pitch.
