There are just four Premier League matches taking place today.

The first of them is Leeds United v Tottenham Hotspur, which kicks off at 12.30pm GMT.

TEAM NEWS

The big team news from the Leeds camp is that Dominic Calvert-Lewin is fit to start.

He’s been bothered by a foot problem of late but Daniel Farke said in his pre-match presser that he was “carefully optimistic” the striker would be available, and so it has proved.

As expected, Calvert-Lewin’s usual partners in crime in the Leeds attack aren’t in the starting XI. Noah Okafor is only among the substitutes, while Anton Stach misses out altogether. Farke described both as “major doubts” on Thursday due to niggling injuries.

Despite positive performances at Bournemouth, Harry Wilson and Dan James make way for the hosts.

In come Sean Longstaff and Lukas Nmecha, so we’re assuming that means a change to a 3-5-2.

Roberto De Zerbi has made just one alteration from last weekend’s win over Crystal Palace.

It’s a conservative one on paper, with Pedro Porro replacing Dominic Solanke. That presumably means that Archie Gray, who has been deputising at right-back, moves into midfield.

James Maddison is again only among the substitutes.

LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Trafford, Bogle, Justin, Elvedi, Muharemovic, Gudmundsson, Ampadu, Longstaff, Tanaka, Nmecha, Calvert-Lewin.

Subs: Zetterer, Bard, Bijol, Rodon, Gruev, James, Wilson, Aaronson, Okafor.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Kinsky, Porro, van Hecke, van de Ven, Robertson, Tonali, Gray, Kudus, Fernandes, Tel, Marmoush.

Subs: Gunter, Senesi, Gallagher, Maddison, Solanke, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Davies, Williams-Barnett.

      Have we not got two weeks of international footy next, I’m doing nothing till that’s out the way?

      1. Doesn’t mean making transfers now, is it forbidden to discuss potential moves ahead of time?

            Maybe you weren't showing off your team but there's a 2 week international break where most of those players will play 3 times so it's a bit strange to do a team check at this point.

      4. I hope not?! Surely not another break

      Far too much money on the bench every gameweek.

        Just use your bench boost when your bench players have a nice fixture and are difficult to bench.

        Use the TC when Haaland has a tricky away fixture but people are captaining him anyway (like today!).

      wait till after IB to make any changes, but provisionally i'd say sell konsa for vuskovic, silva or muha, and look at a team planner to see when is a good week to bench boost.
      There are about a million team planners out there but the one most people use is https://fpl.team/plan/
