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).

    Leeds suck at defending setpieces

  2. Nate(U)dog(ie)

    Well at least Leeds have to go for it now

    What an awful goal.

    That's some poor, poor goalkeeping. Can't be letting that in.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Wood got a toe in

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      What? Wood completely changed the direction of the ball from a yard out. Someone should be marking him

    Just as 60 minutes is passed, Ayling concedes

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      Absolute joke

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years

      This.. was just about to check my live rank after Ayling CS points.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Never do that, just hurts. Wait for 90 mins

    3. Sim Simma

      I was about to check my team for CS points . oh well

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I checked and they came in...and then the Burnley goal came up. It was good for that minute though 😀

    Lowton assist.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      If there's a magical no-show for Maguire today I'll enjoy it!

  9. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Wow, can’t wait Ben keep Burnley out, Leeds shocking

  10. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    That's what Leeds get for being so wasteful in the first half.

  11. Will Kane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Leeds have been so poor today. Unrecognisable from last season. Absolutely no one on the bench to turn to either. Could be a long season

  12. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Son injured

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

      Back up

    2. chocolove
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Cracked ribs

  13. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Ayling can still score and so can Raph

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Mate, I own them

  14. tambourineman

    It's Cucho time

  15. jia you
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Wildcarded myself into an early FPL grave! Lukaku, James, Kane & triple Leeds 🙁

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      They won’t play Burnley at turf moor every week

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Leeds the graveyard of empires!

    3. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Unlucky.

      Lukaku still a good pick.

      James will be a good pick too. Chelsea defense is unmatched, plus only one game ban.

      Kane -> Ronaldo a simple transfer.

      Leeds will do better, they've got a decent run of fixtures.

      Chin up.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        aye better GWs ahead!

    How are Spurs playing? Thinking about getting Lloris...

  17. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Meslier is not the one

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Lloris is

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Leeds can't defend set pieces. Not just Meslier's fault.

  18. The Knights Template
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Bamford hattie any moment now. Patiently waiting.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Please

  19. sovietrockettes
    • 5 Years

    Great, Toney and Lowton both on my bench

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Fizzzaaahhhhhh!

  20. have you seen cyan

  21. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Alli so clooooose 🙁

  22. MDynamite
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    De Gea
    AWB Varane Maguire Shaw
    Pogba Fred
    James Bruno Sancho
    Greenwood

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Pogba back in more defensive role again?

      1. MDynamite
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Could be:

        Bruno Fred Pogba

  23. Thanos
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    BIG miss Ali.. wastes Kane assist

  24. Steinburg FC
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Now Son is on the left he will get at least one good chance...

  25. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Alli still doing those late runs into the box with Kane back is interesting

  26. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Lowton 1st sub. Hoping greenwood or Shaw don’t start

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      They’re both starting

    2. Thanos
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Not the hope you want to bet on

  27. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Ayling Raphina owner, so so predictable

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Wish they didn't have good fixtures so it would be easier to sell them

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I could sell them so they both haul

    2. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Raph been pretty invisible

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Most of my players normally are

  28. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Did everyone get the missive?

    Simon Stone
    @sistoney67
    FIFA: “We now expect the release of players for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers in South America to occur in accordance with the recent FIFA decision, the legality and legitimacy of which has today been recognised in today’s CAS ruling.”

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Expect to see Raphina go down holding his knee on 89 minutes

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        After assisting Bamf of course.

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Fifa, this is football, no such thing as legality.

  29. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Those Alli runnings into the box remind me of Ramsey 2013/14

  30. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    11 points for Son(c) is decent, would love another return though!

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Don’t jinx it!
