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’ve got a similar team and I think we can get out of the whole with a few transfers or hits over the next few weeks. I think/hope!

      WC could be really valuable towards the end of the season.

      FH much better especially in a big dgw

  16. el polako

    December 2018 last time Jessie scored in league for United.

    How he is still at the club ?

    1. Feanor
      • 14 Years

      Makes too much in wages to be movable.

  17. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years

    Here comes the cavalry! 😆 Shaw and Jlingz on.

  18. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    McTominay was truly carrying our joke players for months!

  19. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    My Pope to Ryan 2 weeks ago was a dreadful move

    1. Monya Meow Meow
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      My exact move, feels more than stupid

  20. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years

    Lingard on to save the night!!

  21. have you seen cyan

    Might creep back into the top 100k this week finally (from 145k), as long as Bobby goes big 🙂

  22. TheDragon

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Ultimately, even if you are on 0 points currently, if your triple captain does well the week will be good... right... right ?!

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on who he is...

  23. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Hard to believe that Mata had one season in the PL when he was probably the best player in the whole league.

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Mata is hardly to blame for this.

  24. Feanor
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Not much from my three starting defenders so far, or the two on the bench.

    TAA ??
    Soyuncu 2
    Kelly 1

    Williams 1
    Lundstram 1

  25. Bruce Lee

      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hendo waiting his turn, one on 400k a week one on 10k, I know who needs to go.

    Terribly run club. We’re finished

    Something magical happens when you put on a red Manchester United shift....

    You turn into a steaming pile of rubbish

    Remember when Wan Bissaka was an England darling? Harry Maguire was the most expensive defender in the history of football.

    1. Feanor
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Great night for Jose.

    2. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      To be fair, Wan Bissaka has been immense this season, United hardly concede anything down his side.

      The issue is that other than Rashford the rest of the team is a joke

    3. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      AWB is still a beast, moving to us lot his only mistake... another year at Palace and most clubs in the world would be after him!

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

      At Palace he had beasts like Benteke, who does he have at Man Utd?

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

    Williams off

  29. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Feeling physically revulsed by my abject failure of a week so far, even if it is totally dependent on my Liverpool triple. Gah.

  30. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I just did Vardy to Auba, Ings to Jimenez and Mahrez to Perez -4.

    Think it is going to bite?

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

      Still lots of football to play, oh could well do
