Iheanacho and Vardy lead Leicester line again as changes kept to a mimimum

Two Premier League matches kick-off at 14:00 BST today – Brentford v Leicester City and West Ham United v Tottenham Hotspur.

At Brentford, Thomas Frank names an unchanged XI, with Bryan Mbeumo (£5.6m) and Ivan Toney (£6.5m) paired together up front again.

As expected, Vitaly Janelt (£5.0m), Yoane Wissa (£5.9m), Mads Sorensen (£4.3m), Josh Dasilva (£5.3m) and Shandon Baptiste (£5.0m) all remain out.

As for Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City, Timothy Castagne (£5.3m) features despite missing the midweek win over Spartak Moscow with a tight hamstring.

During that match, Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) was forced off by a back spasm but is fit to start alongside Boubakary Soumare (£4.8m) in the Foxes engine room, with the in-form Jamie Vardy (£10.8m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£7.0m) leading the line again in a 3-5-2 formation.

Meanwhile, West Ham are unchanged from the side that won 1-0 at Everton in Gameweek 8, with Michail Antonio (£8.1m) featuring as expected having been rested in midweek, and Vladimir Coufal (£4.9m) missing out completely.

For Tottenham Hotspur, Nuno Espirito Santo reverts to his strongest XI after making wholesale changes in Europe. That means Son Heung-min (£10.2m) and Harry Kane (£12.1m) both start, along with Tanguy Ndombele (£5.8m) in the no. 10 role.
