Fulham v Leicester team news: Two changes each, Vardy starts

The final day of Gameweek 35 begins at Craven Cottage, where Fulham host Leicester City at 15:00 BST.

Narrow losses to Manchester City and Liverpool haven’t changed the safe tenth-placed position of Marco Silva’s side, who makes two changes from the Anfield defeat.

Kenny Tete (£4.4m) and Harrison Reed (£4.3m) come in for Cedric Soares (£4.2m) and Sasa Lukic (£4.5m), as both Andreas Pereira (£4.4m) and Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.6m) remain absent due to injury and suspension.

Dean Smith also makes two changes for the Foxes, currently 16th but only out of the relegation zone on goal difference.

Dennis Praet (£4.8m) and Victor Kristiansen (£4.5m) replace Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) and Luke Thomas (£3.9m), meaning it’s another start for Jamie Vardy (£9.1m). He’s looking to score for the third successive match, while we still don’t know if James Maddison (£7.9m) remains on penalty duties after last week’s miss.

Injured Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.8m) does not make the Leicester squad but the recovered Ricardo Pereira (£4.2m) is named on the bench.

GAMEWEEK 35 LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Leno; Tete, Adarabioyo, Diop, Robinson; Palhinha, Reed; Wilson, Cairney, Willian; Vinicius

Subs: Rodak, Duffy, Cedric, Lukic, Dibley-Dias, Harris, Kebano, Solomon, De Cordova-Reid

Leicester City XI: Iversen; Castagne, Faes, Soyuncu, Kristiansen; Tielemans, Soumare, Praet; Maddison, Vardy, Barnes

Subs: Ward, Ricardo, Evans, Souttar, Mendy, Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall, Tete, Daka

              Longstaff means that Joelinton plays centre mid rather than LW.

              Howe decided to start Isak at LW against Arsenal. ASM or Gordon might get the nod against Leeds. That would mean a straight choice between Isak and Wilson as striker.

      Neither are good enough for city in my opinion

        Maybe you are right about Maddison, his attitude could be problematic for City. But I think Barnes is well ready for top teams, at least to be a sub at first.
