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).

      Play better. He's been poor when he's played.

      Tbf I don't think he suits United's style. He keeps trying to play short safe passes like the total football he was brought up with at Ajax. It doesn't work.

          It's not about superiority. You can win in many different ways. I mean Leicester won woth a direct passing style.

    Excited to see today’s Man Utd line up.

    Had been saying that Pogba will go deeper and Greenwood will play winger once CR7 starts as striker. Atleast till Rashford is back.

    Looks Greenwood will keep his place in current form. He will give up striker role and take James position from today.
