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).

      Getting in the right positions but Spurs are too slow in attack & Watford have no issues defending in numbers.

    Bachmann might be the one to unlock this Watford defense

      My goalie, I have faith in him. As long as it's Son who scores.

  17. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    If Spurs are going to grind out results with an odd goal or two like wolves under nuno Son and Kane are horrible value

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Fortunately there are lots of other premium options.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Defenders/Lloris could be great though...

  18. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Hahahaha Sissoko targeting Nuno

  19. Viprin
    • 8 Years

  20. Thanos
    • 2 Years

    Nuno's style of play is so negative and alike Mourinho.

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Harsh on whisky.

  21. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Pick one from each pair please

    2. Thanos
      • 2 Years

  22. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Bam should have left the ball, would have been a Raph tap in

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He almost died running at the ball... So out of balance.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Hardly a tap in

  23. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Whats the function of dele? Is he attacting mid or cm or cdm. He is doing nothing. And bad positioning

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Full time Rijkaard lookalike.

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I doubt even he knows tbh.

  24. chocolove
    • 13 Years
