Lloris back from injury as Rodgers recalls Chilwell

There are three Premier League matches taking place this evening.

Leicester City v West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur v Norwich City both get underway at 19:30 GMT, with Manchester United v Burnley kicking off 45 minutes later.

The Hammers are of course in action twice in Double Gameweek 24, with a fixture against Liverpool still to contest in a week’s time.

David Moyes has made one change to his starting XI from Saturday’s draw with Everton: Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) drops to the bench and Arthur Masuaku (£4.2m) comes in on the left flank.

Michail Antonio (£6.9m) has recovered from a thigh injury and is among the substitutes.

There is still no Lukasz Fabianski (£4.9m), so Darren Randolph (£4.5m) continues between the posts for the visitors.

Brendan Rodgers has brought back two of his first-team regulars for tonight’s game, with Ben Chilwell (£5.6m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.2m) recalled.

Christian Fuchs (£4.3m) and Dennis Praet (£5.3m) don’t even make the bench but Wilfred Ndidi (£5.0m) is named as a substitute, having made a much quicker recovery from knee surgery than first anticipated.

There are also two changes apiece for Tottenham Hotspur and Norwich City.

Having previously said he was on course for a return in early February, Jose Mourinho has named the fit-again Hugo Lloris (£5.3m) in his starting XI for the very first time.

Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.6m), fresh from a 14-point haul in Gameweek 23, makes way.

Ryan Sessegnon (£5.4m) in for Japhet Tanganga (£4.0m) is Mourinho’s other alteration.

Both of Daniel Farke’s changes are enforced, with Ben Godfrey (£4.4m) suspended and Emiliano Buendia (£6.0m) injured.

Grant Hanley (£4.0m) and full debutant Lukas Rupp (£4.5m) get the nod at centre-back and on the wing respectively.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made two changes from Manchester United’s defeat at Liverpool, one of which is enforced as Phil Jones (£4.8m) replaces the ill Victor Lindelof (£5.3m).

Juan Mata (£6.2m) comes in for Luke Shaw (£5.4m) in the other alteration as Solskjaer switches from a wing-back system to a back four.

Shaw, along with Mason Greenwood (£4.4m) and Eric Bailly (£4.9m), are among the substitutes, meaning that budget FPL defender Brandon Williams (£4.1m) gets another start at left-back.

Matthew Lowton (£4.2m) replaces Phil Bardsley (£4.3m) at right-back in Sean Dyche’s only change.


Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell, Mendy, Tielemans, Maddison, Perez, Barnes, Vardy.

West Ham United XI: Randolph, Cresswell, Diop, Ogbonna, Zabaleta, Noble, Rice, Masuaku, Snodgrass, Lanzini, Haller.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sessegnon, Winks, Lo Celso, Alli, Lamela, Son, Lucas.

Norwich City XI: Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Zimmermann, Byram, Tettey, McLean, Rupp, Duda, Cantwell, Pukki.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Jones, Maguire, Williams, Fred, Matic, Pereira, Mata, James, Martial.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Mee, Tarkowski, Taylor, Hendrick, Cork, Westwood, McNeil, Rodriguez, Wood.

      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      No point dragging it out though. Lloris was always gonna be No.1 when back fit

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years

        Just need a few Sheff Utd style challenges to welcome him back

      Stay on that bench, Gazza! Henderson points are tantalizing.

    If ever there was a time for Soyuncu to get his first ever hattrick it’s tonight

      Excellent

      Couldn't really afford for a 4th benching this week

    2. how now brown cow
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Benched him for ings needed to know that yesterday.

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 9 Years

      Is there another Williams in the PL?

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        L'pool have one of their own.

      2. Rainer

        Don’t shoot the copy & paster!

      3. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years

        Yes. 4.0 @ pool

    4. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Greenwood benched ffs!

    5. waltzingmatildas
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Greenwood benched, if he doesn't come on, got ings 1 pointer

    6. waltzingmatildas
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      And Jones!

  5. Maddi Son
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Looking forward to Son's 16 points

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      6 points over the last 4GWs he’s played. Anything is possible against Norwich though

  6. Syd.
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Which game to watch tonight?

  7. Cant fit my Willian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Greenwood benched. What has he got to do to start?!

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Bloody joke

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Brought him in for Martinelli because every inch of footballing logic suggests he should start.

      But OGS is an idiot tbf.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I did expect him to play tonight. Harsh

    4. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      He really should be starting this game.

    5. Maddamotha
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Pereira, James... Against a deep Burnley defence, I dont get it. James is good at running in behind the defence, not too much else. Greenwoud shouldve started this one, but he will come on around 70min..

  8. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Williams YC and 2-2 incoming.

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      As long as he scores the 2 goals I won't mind

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I like to dream big too.

    Leicester assets have to go don't they?

    GW25 = CHE
    GW26 = wol
    GW27 = MCI
    GW28 = blank (probably)

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      If you’ve a few, offloading looks good.

      We’ll know the BGW28 teams & FAC 5th round situation before the next deadline which will help too.

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Welp, that might solve my Vardy/Bobby > Kun dilemma...

      2. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        can't see LEI or MCI not getting to the EFL cup final, or through to the next round of the FA cup ... so that means they miss GW28 with NOR and ARS

        Planning on having both Aguero and Auba, and Cantwell, so no room to drop LEI players in gw28

        1. HashAttack
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          gw28

          MCI v ARS is off if - MCI win SF vs MUN (3-0 1st leg) and either MCI beat FUL or ARS beat BOU

          NOR v LEI is off if - LEI win SF vs AVL (1-1 1st leg) and either LEI beat BRE or NOR beat BUR

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Looks fine for Vardy if you cab cover the blank IMO.

    3. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

      Their bubble has burst been overachieving all season their conversion rate to chances was ridiculous

    4. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Will keep just Vardy, did Maddison to Mané this week and will do Söyüncü to Lascelles for next week

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      It's now a judgement call. Lots of value tied up in Vardy especially. But I'm looking at them closely tonight for any signs of life.

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        It's not "value" if you still plan to wildcard

      2. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Soy Boy to Williams if he does ok tonight

    6. Sharkytect
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Was going to sell, but have to focus on getting rid of gazzaniga now

  10. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Mata and Martial a deadly combo

  11. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Williams starts !! Lets goooo

  12. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Don’t like hindsight posts but I think it’s fair to say Greenwood wasn’t ever going to start tonight

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      lol

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Why?
      He looks good on right wing and Mata no.10 role

    3. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I would say there was a 50/50 chance but Martial playing up front is nice for his owners

    4. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Williams off the bench it is 😎

  13. Greek Freak
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    I've sold Chilwell after months of nothing but disappointment - enjoy your clean sheet, Soyuncu owners!

      Did you make the move?

  15. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Rashford injured, talented youngster pushing for a start, home to Burnley...

    Surely it was the perfect time to start #JLingz?

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years

      Personifies all that is wrong with a modern day footballer

      Good luck playing in the championship in a few years

    Sorry if this has been asked and answered.

    Could Burnley have a blank Gameweek?

    With Gazza out, I’m looking to drop him for a 4.0 and just play Pope until the DGWs.

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Slim.

      Need to get to the FAC QF for a BGW31.

      Themselves or Watford in the FAC SF for a BGW34.

  22. Sharkytect
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    This double gameweek has been a disaster so far. Ings benched. Digne cleansheet demolished at the last second. Nothing from grealish. And now i don't even have a starting keeper. Thanks, Lloris

    1. The FPL Units

    1. Dont give a fuchs
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I was happy to see William's starting but then I saw Jones name in the lineup and I'm not hoping anymore

  27. mad_beer ✅

    Greenwood is always going to be benched by Ole.

    1. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      As a Utd fan I've always defended him but, this is the real tell for me. It's clear to anyone with half a brain Greenwood is ready to step up.

      1. Dosh
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Ya he's good in the box. Could have been useful today with United having to be patient in attack.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Just need to fund Greenwood to Aubameyang...

    3. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      he obviously wants to try and make him a super sub like he was

    What’s the deal with Martinelli? Is he a big rotation risk when Auba comes back?

    1. Ha.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      ...yes

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Yes he is. Has also been called up for Brazil U23's. Whether he goes is another matter.
