Aurier starts again as Leicester and Spurs name unchanged teams

Leicester City continue their push for a UEFA Champions League qualification place this afternoon.

The Foxes head south face to Spurs in their latest pursuit of three points, with kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 16:00 BST.

The team news is very straightforward as both managers have named unchanged starting XIs following wins in Gameweek 36+.

That means another start for Serge Aurier (£5.1m), who has travelled back from France after spending time with his family in the wake of his brother’s death.

It also means a second successive run-out for Luke Thomas (£4.0m) for the visitors, with the budget Fantasy Premier League defender again featuring at left wing-back.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are without Ricardo Pereira (£6.2m), James Maddison (£7.3m), Ben Chilwell (£5.5m), Christian Fuchs (£4.2m) and Marc Albrighton (£5.1m) through injury, with Caglar Soyuncu (£4.9m) suspended.

Dele Alli (£8.3m) is still unavailable for Spurs but Juan Foyth (£4.8m) returns from a lengthy lay-off and is among the substitutes.

Only one Leicester player has an effective ownership of more than 1% in the top 10k: that, unsurprisingly, is Jamie Vardy (£9.7m), who sits in just over one in five of these squads.

Aurier has been benched by more than half of his owners within the top 10k, meanwhile.

Mourinho’s starting XI may have been unchanged in the last three games but the formation continues to evolve, with Son Heung-min (£9.7m) here playing out wide on the left of a 4-2-3-1 rather than up top alongside Harry Kane (£10.9m).


Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Sissoko, Winks; Lo Celso, Lucas, Son; Kane.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Bennett, Morgan, Evans; Justin, Ndidi, Tielemans, Thomas; Perez, Vardy, Barnes.

    no chance of Fernandes rest v WH if MU lose today right?

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years

      No chance regardless other than injury

        Even if he has to play on crutches, he will start.

      They cant afford to by what Mou did for them

      Could happen. The Leicester game is the decider regardless.

    Can get this -4 side if I move tonight

    Ederson
    Boly Egan Digne
    Mo Martial Son KdB Dilva
    Kane Wood

    Hendo Greenwood Lord Lascelles

    Tempted

    Kane was always the move I meant to make. Bruno to Son would be the time critical one. Won’t go there as Antonio likely good too if I want but ...

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Do it

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        You reckon?

        Haven’t checked prices for months but I assume Son will rise tonight

  6. Mr Arsenal

    United toothless.

    Looks like Greenwood going to start vs Palace?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years

  8. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 9 Years

    De Gea's having a Casillas, Romero should have started

  9. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Time for Pogba to show his worth.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      £90m?

  10. Cok3y5murf

    This all started with Ronaldo. He was arguably the best keeper in the world up to that point lol

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He was in the conversation for it, but never thought he was given Neuer etc

  11. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Giroud was in!

  12. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    This is more like the Ole Solskjaer I know!

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Unlucky Giroud the ball was going in at that pace if on target.

          Yep

    3. Party time
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Antonio 4 goals imminent

      • Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        DDG seemed unbeatable for many seasons, saving United's bacon game after game, and sweeping up player of the season awards. But ever since the World Cup he's turned into Karius. I don't understand what's happened to him...

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          He got the yips?

        2. Bubz
          • 10 Years

          Amazing what lack of confidence does to goalkeepers

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Can happen to keepers ala joe hart, Paul Robinson, horelio gomes etc

      • kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        De Gea making Giroud and Mount look messiesque!

      • HNI
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        What counts in epl table when goal diff is same? Example Lei and Manutd. Goals for or head to head?

        Pathetic from Ole to drop Romero who has been the cup keeper and done well. it's not like Lol Gea on current form is even a better GK...

      • kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        De Gea 3bps!

      • Naby K8a
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        400k a week contract. Good luck shifting that

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Alexis or DDG? 😆

        2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years

          Do a swap with Bale, same issue

        3. Digital-Real
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Good luck shifting the slow Matic too!

            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

        Two new coaches in the FA Cup final, at this rate

        That's... Interesting

      • DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Now they aren’t playing Bournemouths, Palace’s and the likes of Aston Villa, a half decent side and we see the true Man Utd.

        1. Zilla
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          weak one

        2. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          You mean the true DDG?

        3. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Think its moreso due to the different system and personnel tbh

          1. DAZZ
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            It’s nice to see them drop back to earth.

        4. Treadstone
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Let's face it they havn't played a decent side in weeks.Thats why we all went big on them in our fpl teams.

          3 wins if 3 vs Chelsea aint bad. But dont feel insecure and fear about old Manutd being back soon. Need a Lindelif replacement then maybe but Ole already says they have many CBs so wont happen for 2 years

      • kamdaraji

        Bayern will wallop this Chelsea team again in the 2nd leg of champs league

      • Woy_is_back

        I'm praying Man U lose. Hammers will pay big time
