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.

    If OGS isn't gone after this, I'm convinced the entire front office is huffing paint thinner.

    That little bounce right before he hit the ball was perfect.

      Hes actually worse than Moyes. Completely out of his depth.

    FPL is such a cruel game - I kept Pereira for his 7 blanks over last 8 matches and just when I sold him for Pool defender he decided to explode.

    For all you Lollers out there, Id like to see which team YOU support. I bet we could have quite a bit of fun at your expenses if you listed them...

          You have to diss the actual performance of the team though. One more try...

            You used to get stuffed by the Aussies AND especially the Kiwis on the regular not that long ago and the Land of Hobbits still has a faaaar superior record all-time than you have.

      Coventry City through and through . Some of us that support smaller teams actually go and watch them from time to time.

        Ok, I cant even make fun of a club so wee theyre in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

          When did you start supporting Man Utd out of curiosity ?

          1. Yank Revolution
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            We never had regular broadcasts of English football on here in the US until maybe 10 yrs. ago (once in a while a random match was shown on Public TV, and I do mean super rarely)...So, the only fandom and allegiance I had was through my family's team, who hails from England and that's QPR, who I will always like and try to follow as much as possible (hard when you're not in the Prem).

            When I got to finally watch the Prem each week I had to pick a team that was in it, and I went with the "New York Yankees of England" (I'm from NY and love the Yanks) at that time and that was United. So, that's why I'm a fan of theirs. No other reason. And I couldnt pick any of the London clubs, my family wouldn't hear of it!

                • 12 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                So, sticking with a team who hasn't won the league in many years is a glory hunter? Think that's the opposite of what you meant.

                Btw, Meghan told me to tell you, "P*ss off!".

                  A bell is missing its end.

                  And my grav is not who you continually think it is.

                    Oh so your doofy MM lookalike grav is some stupid local "celeb" you think everyone around the world will recognize? Or you're just soooo provincial that you have it just to get the laughs from the locals?

                    Regardless, its a FAIL.

                    Ahhh another localized, slangified, cheeky
                    "bell end" joke you probably dont think I'll understand...

                    Another FAIL.

                    Since you clearly can't compete with me in terms of FPL accomplishment, wit or anywhere else, you'll have to continue to grasp at straws...

            That would be correct.

              4 years, 2 months ago

              Cov City budget is negative . Mark Robins ( who you probably also haven't heard of even though he played for Man U) is doing an incredible job . You need to get that persecution complex under control.

                Im mostly kidding about the Lolling, I really dont care.

                Im fully aware a large chunk of people dont like Man U, just like they dont like the Yankees in baseball (success breeds contempt!). and Im free to hate other teams too! Chelsea, Barca, Man City and Liverpool being chief among them!

    1. Brosstan

    2-0 loss at home to this Burnley team in this form would show how far this team has come

    Definitely think Perez is an amazing option with Vardy now out.

    Thinking of a shake up. Thoughts?

    Fabianski, Hanley, Neto, Vardy > Henderson, Ritchie, Perez, Ings(-8)

    This is not going well. No keeper and I've just noticed that I accidentally left my vice triple captain on Vardy. Mane had better play....

    22 points with 3 Pool players left including TC. Absolute Shocker. And now gotta get rid of Vardy, Chilwell and maybe Maddy.
