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'm miffed as keeping Vardy prevented a route to Salah...

      Sometimes sacrifices have to be taken.

      He picked up a knock in the first half. Couldn't run it off it seems.

    Vardy injury looked like a serious one?

    Not one to crow, but where are the fairweather FPLers who hurled abuse at me for selling Vardy for GW23? I had him for the Newcastle game before a fair chunk, and I got rid well before everyone else too...

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

      You knew he was going to go off injured?

      1. CroatianHammer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I knew his form was off, because it was evident. You can't ignore stats permanently, using the "statbuster" label continually.

      Good man. Mister Hindsight with no team linked not wanting to crow....

      1. CroatianHammer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for making my point for me. But you are right that my profile doesn't link to my team... but it is linked in a few FFS HU articles.

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

          I'll know to avoid the articles of anyone mocking posters here, in hindsight. Most of the articles here are poor anyway. I didn't sell Jimenez, still doing shi+e thanks, but that was a good move. No need to run peoples noses in it.

            You should get good points with TAA being captain though.

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

              Worth a punt at least. Plenty of time to claw it back if it doesn't go well this GW.

    This GW has the hallmark of Salah, Mane, TAA & Robbo fail

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully a VVD haul then

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      Id say the oppo. The haul is there for the plucking for all 3 (I just want TAA to go off as my TC!)

  27. Yank Revolution

  28. tucaoneo

    Just want to drop random rant on Ricardo Pereira. How did he become so attacking after I sold him? I checked the goal scorer and assister nine times during the Southampton game and didn't hear his name. Now this?

  29. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I sold Soy, which is good thing but got Stephens and benched him xD
    This world is a cruel place to be.
