Kane and Son start as Llorente returns for Leeds

Two Premier League matches kick off at 2pm BST today – Burnley v Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur v Watford.

At Burnley, Sean Dyche makes just one change as Ashley Westwood (£5.4m) recovers from a toe injury to replace Jack Cork (£4.5m) in the Clarets engine room, while Ashley Barnes (£5.5m) partners Chris Wood (£6.9m) up front.

For Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United, Diego Llorente (£4.5m) returns at centre-half with Junior Firpo (£4.9m) and Mateusz Klich (£5.5m) missing from the matchday squad.

As expected, Patrick Bamford (£7.9m) leads the line, with Raphinha (£6.5m), Rodrigo (£6.4m) and Jack Harrison (£5.9m) supporting him.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane (£12.3m) starts his first Premier League match of the season for Tottenham Hotspur following his mid-week European brace, with Lucas Moura (£6.5m) dropping out of the starting XI.

Moussa Sissoko (£4.5m) is straight into the Watford side to face his former club following his move from Spurs last week, along with Joshua King (£5.5m), Francisco Sierralta (£4.4m) and Juraj Kucka (£5.5m).

      The problem with him is when he is not on form, he is really annoying to watch, completely out of the match tempo.

        Talk about formations with rigid managers like Dyche. For the likes of Bielsa, Pep, Tuchel it's kind of a meaningless concept.

      Could be a low scoring game, they may struggle to play against a bus parking team, more favoured to play counter attack.

      If Ronaldo takes penalties from Bruno (which is inevitable) and becomes the central focus from Bruno, he will negate the majority of what makes Bruno a great FPL asset. I can agree about Salah and Kane but if you're saying Ronaldo and Lukaku won't be worthwhile assets in comparison to those 3 then I don't agree. Will be a lot of shifting and changing throughout the season but they will all do well, with the likely exception of Bruno now. (Not that he won't get any points of course.)

        I think the Kane switch can be okay - however Salah went and got 10 points vs Chelsea so there you go.

        It's the people who switched out for Lukaku who I don't get.

      Might be somewhat fortunate his price dropped back to 12.5.

      Think there's a selection of great potential picks who have dropped down in price which could provide some great value.
