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.

    Ok I am sold. Bring Pope as a replacement for Kepa.

  2. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Wildcard team..?

    Henderson McCarthy

    Lascelles Taa Gomez Stephens Lundstram

    KDB Salah Grealish Fleck Hayden

    Auba Ings Aguero

    Too weak..?

    Might do it as Sergio and Henderson is rising tonight.

      Go for it, but you have 2 strikers prone to rotation

    2. PascalCygan

      4 years, 2 months ago

      Don’t like Fleck and Hayden. I’d maybe take some money out of the attack to bolster that midfield

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years

        Which striker.?

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

    Downside of these longer gameweeks- having to see Henderson haul on my bench for longer than you usually would 🙁

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

      Ye if the Liverpool assets blank tomorrow I’ll be avoiding logging in to look at my pathetic score before the West Ham game that’s for sure

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeh it's not cool is it? A whole week. Actually will be getting on for a fortnight by the time it'll be safe to look again.

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

      I just need a 10pter from Randolph vs Liverpool to match Hendo on the bench lol

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Lol you never know. Stranger things have happened.

  7. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Martial shot was extremely soft 🙁

  8. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Sold Pope for Fabianski 5 weeks ago, then sold Fabi to Ryan...

  9. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Maguire must be the slowest ever player in the league

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

      yeah but he scored vs Panama - legend!

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

      Mertesacker was the slowest surely?

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

        Who´s the last name for top 3?

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Demichelis

    3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yet he never looked slow at Leicester

    4. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      my goodness what a massive over payment for an average player

  10. Hect.OR 98th
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy and Abraham to Aguero and Ings.

    Have exact money and 2FTs. Worth doing tonight?

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would

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

      It’s a long long time to the next game week - surely wait for info in Vardy and ings has city next

    3. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Probably gonna be my moves tbh.

  11. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy injury puts me in a pickle.
    No money ITB and one FT.

    Men’s I will have to take a hit. Unless I just downgrade him

    1. Reiger
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Jimi not a bad option

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

    An assist would be massive at this point

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      For Pope?

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

        Was thinking more Martial or Greenwood..

  13. wonkeydonkey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best SU defender under £4.7m?

  14. SteJ
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    So many goals, so few points

  15. Mattious8
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    How bad was Vardy injury, weeks or months?

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

      No one knows

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

      Hamstring wasn’t it? Depends on the severity, but a couple of weeks minimum

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

        I have never regretted selling player with hamstring injury.

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wait till scan, just sat on bench watching game so probably not bad one.

  16. g40steve

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Hendo 10k per week vs DDG 375k per week, sums up why they are going nowhere?

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

      No chance is he on 375k a week!!!

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        you'll find he is

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

      10k pw is a fantastic income by any standards. Hendo probably feels lucky and blesse 375k is obscene. Agents probably tells him he's worth more. Wages, betting sponsorship and VAR decisions (not VAR per se but how its interpreted) are the three top reasons why the game is not beautiful anymore.

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

    Great game by Burnley. Defence is looking solid.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      United though

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years

        True but credit to their defence regardless

      • 8 Years

        Sadly not. Mee making too many interceptions and clearances

  21. seanie3
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Transferring Pope out for Ryan 2 Game-weeks ago was not the smartest of moves
