Southampton v Leicester City rounds off the day’s Premier League action in the evening kick-off.

It’s a 17:30 GMT start at St Mary’s for a fixture with a bit of history: the Foxes won 9-0 here back in 2019.

Both sides are much-changed following their disappointing FA Cup exits.

Only Kyle Walker-Peters, Romeo Lavia and Carlos Alcaraz from the Saints and Wout Faes, Harvey Barnes, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Ricardo Pereira from the visitors remain in their respective sides’ starting XIs from midweek.

James Maddison is back from illness for Leicester but Brendan Rodgers has lost Victor Kristiansen to a four-week injury, so Ricardo gets his first league start of 2022/23 at full-back.

Ruben Selles recalls the fit-again Che Adams up top, while there’s also a run-out for veteran Theo Walcott.

GAMEWEEK 26 LINE-UPS

Southampton XI: Bazunu, Maitland-Niles, Bednarek, Bella-Kotchap, Walker-Peters, Alcaraz, Ward-Prowse, Lavia, Sulemana, Adams, Walcott.

Subs: Caballero, Djenepo, Onuachu, S Armstrong, A Armstrong, Salisu, Elyounoussi, Mara, Perraud.

Leicester City XI: Ward, Pereira, Souttar, Faes, Castagne, Dewsbury-Hall, Mendy, Tete, Maddison, Barnes, Iheanacho.

Subs: Iversen, Amartey, Thomas, Söyüncü, Ndidi, Soumaré, Praet, Daka, Vardy.

    Most likely the scout picks next week will be something like

    Raya
    Estup Trippier Mee
    Rashford Salah Mitoma Saka
    Toney Kane Haaland

    Going to be a headache for me to talk myself into buying Mitoma and sell Martinelli when Martinelli will play week 29

  2. wakenbagel

    Data rarely beats the eye test. Thats why I started Mitoma over March.

  3. HD7
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Have 0.2 ITB

    Just enough to do Sanchez to Raya tonight...

    Should I or hope Sanchez is back in the starting 11 for 27?
    I dont want to risk taking a hit if Raya rises in price in the next days.

  4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years

    I’d take an assist for Madders

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nacho messed up a Madders assist

  5. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Nacho wtf!!!

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

      Noooo did he miss?

      Brought him in for a one week punt

      1. BeaversWithAttitude
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Worse, he wasted Madders' assist!

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah. Tbf the ball in was really fast but there was no pressure on him.

  6. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Mac Allister and Mitoma you absolute legends.

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

    Anyone without a Brighton mid kinda tempted to bring MacAllister in ahead of Mitoma… differential?

    Likely WC this week

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

      Won't be a differential after this week

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

        Moreso than March and Mitoma

    2. OLEgend
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Macallister is a must have,brought him in this week on WC and suggested to some here abouta n upcoming haul as well. Brighton official YouTube channel have extended highlights and please watch that Fulham and palace game highlights you will be getting him above others

    3. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah he scored a pen. Hurrah.

  8. Sun God Nika
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Minus 4 salah and James to mee and mitoma ?

    Or just salah to mitoma

  9. Dragon Arcana
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Benched Salah for Mitoma. Was it a decent shout?

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bit early to know either way

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

      Unfortunately, for my own sake, I hope it wasn’t!

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

      I mean it's extremely unlikely Salah gets 2 attacking returns

  10. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Odds of Perraud coming on and scoring?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      85%

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Too low.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          He's no Nelson hence the 85%

          1. Zimo
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Okay fair

  11. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Who's on Leicester pens when Vardy Tielemans aren't playing?

  12. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Deeply annoying last minute Wildcard decision.

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bad luck 🙁

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I don't know....martinelli I guess

  13. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Maddison create another big chance for Pereira but they didn’t count his effort as shot

  14. Tonyawesome69

    3 years, 3 months ago

    RDZ spoke to Sanchez yesterday. "Jason now is playing better than Robert. He is closer than Robert to my style."

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

      Oh boy, see ya Sanchez! Nice cheapie for GW27 wildcarded though... Not that we need the money!

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

      That's Sanchez done then I guess, tbf I've always thought he's been a bit suspect dealing with crosses and shot-stopping at times (although I'm not sure how much better Steele is)

    3. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      And this happens precisely now. Seriously, you can't make this shaite up.

  15. camarozz
    • 11 Years
