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).

        Refs are going too far with the whole let the game flow thing, if you don't punish stupid challenges that's the opposite of letting it flow, it means every other player knows they can make at least one similar challenge and get away with it

          To me, letting the game flow is ignoring small niggly half-fouls, not giving people a yellow instead of a red for a reckless lunge like Barnes did.

              Yup exactly, allow contact without people flopping to the ground, but anyone stopping attacks or being dangerous that needs to be punished, an open game allows flair players to express themselves without being chopped down every two seconds

            It’s just luck that someone hasn’t been seriously injured by those three clowns today

            Tarkoski & Mee both on Bamford and Barnes on Dallas, and the Burnley challenges have gotten steadily worse as the game has wore on & Leeds have been more & more in control

        Can relax and enjoy the second half now as even if Son doesn’t do anything else, he probably gets 8-10 points and not punished too much for Antonio VC.

        Or he gets another return and happy days

                He’s just such good value though with the extra 2m going a long way. If injury free will get at least 15 goals / 10 assists. Happy to play him week in week out but can also captain with confidence.

        Relieved with Son's fluke goal. Puts my WC team ahead of my pre-WC team. Looks like he'll outscore Salah this week although I think I'll get Salah back in for him soon.

          It wasn’t a fluke, was Sons skill shining through, left the keeper speechless

          Loving the monstrous start and bold use of chips you’re using.

          Hope Son grabs another return or two to reward it more

            That's very generous of you mate, thanks.
            The bold part is keeping 6.3M in the bank to fund moves for the galacticos. I'm holding back to see which ones to grab. Lukaku and Kane are saying - wait a bit.

          I was considering him as a 5th midf for 5.0 when I watched him at the Euros. Still on my watchlist.

            Different managers definitely have an influence on players' output for sure.

        Lots of talk of how to get Lukaku, Kane, Bruno, Ronaldo & Salah in our teams but surely Son is a must-own still? Can't justify selling him on a WC

          For me Salah, Lukaku and Ronaldo are the 3 I want. Can’t see Spurs scoring too many under Nuno and the goals will be more spread than last year with the likes of Alli and Bergwin being more involved.

          Son is great but prefer premium's from City Pool United Chelsea as they are much better teams than Spurs who have looked awful and scored one fluke goal

            Two fluke goals... Dias should have easily blocked Sons shot and Ederson could have saved it as well.

        International break wildcarders beware. I’ve done it once and had 3/4 players not play.

        With covid now could be an absolute bloodbath.

        GW3 was the one to do it.

          Didn't you mean early transfers? With WC you can do transfers untill deadline.
