Four more Premier League matches get underway at 3pm GMT today, including Brentford v Leicester City and Southampton v Tottenham Hotspur.

At the Brentford Community Stadium, Danny Ward and Kelechi Iheanacho drop to the bench as £3.8m Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeeper Daniel Iversen gets the nod between the sticks.

Despite not being seen in training ground images on Wednesday, Son Heung-min starts for Spurs today.

The Lilywhites are unchanged from Gameweek 27 but Southampton have made three changes to the side that were beaten 2-0 by Brentford in midweek.

Ibrahima Diallo, Carlos Alcaraz and Kamaldeen Sulemana are benched as Stuart Armstrong, Theo Walcott and Romeo Lavia are handed recalls.

Wout Faes and Nampalys Mendy join Iheanacho and Ward in dropping out of the Leicester XI, with Faes suspended.

Harvey Barnes, Tete and Wilfred Ndidi come into the line-up, alongside Iversen.

As for the Bees, Mikkel Damsgaard and Yonna Wissa replace Kevin Schade and Vitaly Janelt.

Aston Villa and Bournemouth are both unchanged from their respective Gameweek 27 teams.

It’s two alterations apiece at Molineux.

Pedro Neto and Joao Gomes come in for Adama Traore and Joao Moutinho for the hosts, while Leeds head coach Javi Gracia brings back Wilfried Gnonto and Weston McKennie at the expense of the injured Tyler Adams and the benched Crysencio Summerville.

    Fully expecting a Brentford cleansheet when most of us sold Henry and benched Raya

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Did we?

    2. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Leicester are miserable

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Started both Pinnock+Henry, hope so!

    4. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      100%

    5. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I still have henry

    6. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Benched Raya for kepa though
      Wanted to hedge my bets

  2. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Why can’t anyone pass properly to Kane?

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

      Because Spurs need Kane to pass properly to Kane

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ooo an assist and a goal in one, nice!

  3. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Solanke sot

  4. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Watkins misses sitter

  5. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    They should replace the BB chip with two captains chip.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I was a fan of the all out attack chip we had a couple of seasons ago, but double C chip would be nice as well.

      1. Tango74
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Bench boost is better , but people tend to save for late DGW when they should of played like last week

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      TC to DC would be better.

  6. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Watkins has to score that

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's like the ball falls to him, he's visualised the goal. Then suddenly "Biggsy got me in his FPL team this week" and BAM. He misses.

  7. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Watkins what are doing

  8. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Another injury in the spurs game, will be +7 minutes in first half

  9. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Watkins points correlate negatively with ownership. Not surprised he's missing chances like that.

  10. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bednarek broken

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Both cbs injured?

  11. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thanks for nothing Watkins

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm gonna awaken Imhotep if he blanks today

  12. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Looking good so far for Haaland captainers.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe. Hear he might be rested this weekend

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They probably have Douglas Luiz or Harrison as VC. Typical dead teams shenanigans.

  13. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Watkins has to do better

  14. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Kane
    A) Overrated
    B) Underrated

    I can never quite decide.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C) Rated

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

      Record speaks for itself in a poor Tottenham team his form is good this season,
      did not have the usual injury yet (sorry)

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Crapkins

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Took all my strength not to refer to him as Shitkins

  15. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Assist for the Brentford goal?

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      VAR checking offside

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

    Jansen G

  20. Red Star Toro
