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.

    1. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Could have martial and greenwood playing too ^

    2. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Same. Given my luck I bet TAA will get injured in the warmup tomorrow while Salah gets sent off after missing a penalty.

  25. SomeoneKnows

    OUT: Vardy + Maddison
    IN: Aguero + Fleck (-4)

    Yes or No?

    1. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      i am considering auba. atleast he is nailed & good fixtures.

      kun rotation & tougher fixtures.

    2. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero fixtures and no gw 28. Auba could be decent but again no gw 28

  26. trinzoo
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Vardy > Auba for free?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. I'll probably do it unless I decide to get Aguero instead for some reason

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Going to blank in 28, but looks good up until then

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. I'm going

      Vardy + Ryan
      to
      Hendo + Auba

      for free

  27. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Vardy to Ings? I normally gamble early on an injury but have lots of cash tied up in Vardy!

    Other strikers are Firmino and Greenwood but will upgrade Firmino to Aubameyang next werk

  28. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Vardy being out is good for fpl 🙂

    Anyone here ever pulled a hamstring? How sore is it?

    1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago
