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.

    So it seems unless you owned the right Chelsea players this week has pretty much been a bust.

    Took out Jota for Havertz and Lukaku for Vardy for a -4, so I guess it could have been a lot worse.

    Anyone else contemplating activating the wildcard? Think I’m rated 78% template for now so it can wait, but getting an itchy trigger finger

      Havertz dog poo in a 7-0 victory (possible he doesn’t even start next week too!) & Vardy 1 point and maybe injured for next game.

    If you had said going into this week that Havertz would score more than either Vardy or Kane, Havertz owners would have been buzzing with anticipation

    If you had then said Auba would outscore Kane, Vardy & Havertz combined, Auba owners would have to have been scraped down off the ceiling thinking of the haul it must have taken to do that

    If you had then said Auba would do it despite missing a penalty and getting booked….

    Ah, look you get the picture
