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 like it. Considering something similar as I'm falling behind with my current team.

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

          I'd be tempted, but it's difficult; depends on how confident you are in your original team.

      Problem is that you would still have the same ownership and front office

      1. g40steve

        This, needs a clear out of the yes men first.

  7. markus808

    My 2-2 bet @19 suddenly starting to look good, although I could have bet just +1.5 goals for Burnley, can't trust Manu

  8. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy, Soy, Maddison, Martial, Abraham.... Thought it looked decent on paper.

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years

      Fpl can be a cruel mistress

  9. Differentiator

    Will Aurier's bap stick?!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Yes probably.

  10. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford is greatly missed. They’re looking so so poor.

  11. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

    Has anyone clever done the spurs bonus? Ta

  12. TheDragon

    The fact Lingard can’t get in this United team tells you everything you need to know about Lingard!

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hey he earns in one week more then we do in a year (or several years)

      Let that sink in

  13. Pdrpro

    Have Soy Maddison and Vardy.

    Wanted to do Vardy to Auba next week anyway, but need to save .5

    Would you:
    A. Maddison to Grealish and keep Soy

    Or

    B. Soy to Lacelles and keep Maddison?

    This is why, apart from Williams, I refuse to own anyone from United. Awful FPL assets for YEARS>

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Rashford and Martial have done great for me

  15. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Only if Kepa wasn't that terrible we would have been 8pts clear.

    But seriously Wolves have a decent chance for CL next year

  16. Lokomotivvv
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone seen the Leicester game? How serious does the Vardy injury look like?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hamstring is serious enough with those fixtures anyway. Out he is.

  17. Goro Majima
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    As a United fan I can't decide what's worse this week, the fantasy game or the real one ☹️. At least I don't own any of our players.

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is it too early for a WC? WC in GW 36 looks like a kind of too late

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Your choice bud

  19. BENOIT

    OGS may not be the Messiah or a naughty boy (RIP) but who would do better with this team? Very average

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

      I could list many, but the team is average, that is true.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I really meant who would do better of those who would want the job

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

      Who knows. Would anyone do any worse tho?

    3. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Well Poch took Spurs over in a similar position.

    4. jia you

    1. TOPCAT1960
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He needs Jude Bellingham (BCFC), but he cannot have him until July i believe

  25. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Did everyone know lloris was back? Or was it a surprise inclusion?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It was either this one or the next. Was hoping for one more for Gazza as Ryan was on my bench. In the end it didn’t matter much.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I had no backup :/ But needed to take a hit to replace him anyway
