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.

    Haland really dodged a bullet.

    Hopefully Bruno is watching.

    1. Skalla
      • 7 Years

      Liverpool dodged a bullet, United would have won the league with Harland 🙂

  7. The Train Driver

    Auba can play next right?

    1. FPL Pillars

      Shaw goal disallowed

    • Skalla
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      One Martial goal needed for FPL but 3 goals needed as a United fan 🙂

    • JonSnow
      • 6 Years

      Horrible week so far. Already on a -4 and still have Gazza (no backup) and Vardy to ship.

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years

        Bet you’ve got more than me

    • Rainer

      Moss knows Pope is a season keeper!

    • jason_ni
      • 8 Years

      5 players tonight.. grand total of 7 points.. bloody joke.

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        6 players 13 points here

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Average is 23...

    • g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Burnley never won at Utd since 1962, bye, bye Ole.

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

        Ole going no where.. this is all part of the rebuild.
        Jones back is like a new signing.

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

          Rose tinted glasses?

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

            Sarcasm.. serious tho, glazers wont sack ole, hes a yes man, wont kick up a fuss and is happy to be in the position.
            Ole is one small part of major problem, the ownership is rotting the club from the core.

      2. have you seen cyan

        I thought about this the other day and assumed Burnley had actually never won there. Damn the odds woulda been great

      Shaw goal disallowed.

    • Eastman
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy / Soy >
      Auba / Tanganga?

      Exact funds

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

        If you need Tanganga to play then no

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

          No he’d be 3rd sub but still a concern I suppose

      There is no chance to Vardy be fit for next Leicester game in the league right ?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        10 days till the next match. If it's not serious, who knows?

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          i know but i have 10.7 for Auba and he's dropping. I will use WC in 2 GWs.

        Long drive back to Surrey

    • Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

      WC Button hit. My team was a mess..

      Here we go....

      Henderson McCarthy
      TAA VVD Laporte Lund Lascelles
      Salah KDB Grealish Doucoure Hayden
      Auba Jiménez Ings

      Only change I might do is Laporte to fodder and Doucoure to Richarlison. When is he back?

    • SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years

      Sod this rubbish, when is Kane back?

    • Magic Zico

      No way I will keep Martial when Rashford is out ... agree boys and girls?

        Shipped him this week for Salah, so not my problem.

    • Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      21 points from Pope in 4 days

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

        Meanwhile McCarthy 7 and a needless transfer, had Pope.

        Let's see how this plays out, Pope with a massive lead.

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

        Had him most of season, except those 4 days...

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

      Tempted to wildcard but the trouble is I wouldn't even know who to bring in. Barring the Liverpool players and KDB, I just can't think of anybody in form.

    • Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      United fans, in hope for goals, are imitating Man City fans in leaving the seats free.

      Didn't work though.

    • Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      United are dreadful
