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.

    I hope he doesn't make it worse by playing on, whatever the injury is and end up like Rashford.

    Soyuncu and Vardy to Lascelles and Auba worth a hit?
    A bit early I know 🙂

    1. Queens of the South Age
      • 6 Years

      Auba is a great shout.

  3. POLSKA GOLA

    Did Vardy to Aguero yesterday, looked like Aguero was rising at over 100% and I had exact money, somehow no rise but would have to do the same transfer today

    Bemba 30 mins ago: "Vardy seems like he wants it tonight"

    Time to get dat man Kun, or maybe Auba?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm getting Auba because getting Kun would be the sensible move

  6. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Well, that makes next weeks transfer a bit more obvious!

    1. The 12th Man

      Shipped him this week.

    Vardy; couldn’t have happened to a better bloke

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      It's the least the Steptoe and Son looking git deserved

    Vardy injured is fun for the game. Be interesting who people bring in. And frees up some funds

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’m looking at a Callum Wilson differential.

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Son or Auba for me

    Goodbye

  11. S.Kuqi

    Was always going to sell Vardy after this gw.

    Auba in for me

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      One more game on his ban.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        No, wrong.

      2. Rover
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Isn't that served in the FA cup?

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah I think so, I forgot there was a cup game,

    2. SH
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Same

  12. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years

    Kept Alli... nice

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      First return in 8 GW's. Ouch.

  13. Chucky
    • 10 Years

    Welcome back to my team Callum WILSON

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      are you Gareth Southgate?

  14. Marmalade Forest
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    No biggy that Vardy loss really is it? Almost everyone active and serious about FPL will have him and will now get rid of him. Everyone gets 1 point this week and uses the FT to get rid for next week.

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Well it is, if you wanted to remove Vardy next week and maybe get a march on rivals

    2. james 101
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Unless you already got rid of him

      In which case it’s s small advantage

    3. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I have DGW Firmino I brought in.. so no..

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    No Vardy in the Carabao Cup 2nd leg at Villa Park...

    BGW28 could take a turn!

    1. Rover
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A Villa win would be perfect to go Auba for the 3 GWs before the blank and then back to Vardy

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

      definately - could be close

  16. sminkypinky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    With Mo, Mane and KDB... how are people getting Kun for Vardy?

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lose one of the LFC boys for Robbo.

      1. sminkypinky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Hits required. Two for me.

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Mads Vardy to fleck Kun probably for me. Just fear aguero rotation.

    3. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Thinking Grealish/Vardy > Dendoncker/Kun (-4). Leaves Cantwell or maybe Fleck as 4th mid.

    4. SH
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Money itb from Son/Alli to Martial/Sarr

  17. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Might have to hit the WC 🙁

  18. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Grealish/Vardy > Dendoncker/Kun (-4), yes?

    Will start Cantwell as 4th mid next GW the swap him to Fleck.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Why are you getting rid of Grealish?

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Because it's the only way I can get Kun without losing KDB/Salah/Mane or Trent. And every Vardy owner will have Kun by next GW.

  19. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Kinda wanna just bring Jimmy back in

    1. THFC4LIFE

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

    11/01 - Sold Rashford - Died 15/01
    19/01 - Sold Vardy - Died 22/01

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      Which walking dead are you buying next?

    2. Johnny Drama
      • 7 Years

      Who you selling next?

  21. diesel001
    • 7 Years

    Time to get Iheanacho.

  22. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Party over... Aguero getting closer

  23. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy to Ings is surely most sensible? Should have got Ings weeks ago, but stuck with Vardy, Jiminez and Rash

    1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Or I could afford Auba... Never owned him though

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Aye.

  24. SH
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Auba not as much differential as I thought he would be, but gonna do it regardless

  25. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy. Lol. What a fraud.

  26. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Unbelievable. I sold Barnes and Jimmy and now Barnes has 2 goals in 2 games and Jimmy will surely score to spite me. Ings and Felipe were the replacements. Anyone else with a worse transfer than this ?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      And I sold Serge for Sidibe
