Iheanacho and Tierney benched as Son and Kane start for Conte in 3-4-3 formation

There are three Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 BST today – Arsenal v Watford, Everton v Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United v Leicester City.

Mikel Arteta makes one change from Gameweek 10, as Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£5.3m) comes in for Thomas Partey (£5.0m), who is out with a tight groin.

That means Nuno Taveres (£4.3m) keep his place at left-back, with Kieran Tierney (£4.8m) on the bench, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.1m) leads the line alongside Alexandre Lacazette (£8.3m), having scored six goals in five Premier League appearances against Watford.

Claudio Ranieri makes five changes, with Kiko Femenia (£4.4m), Danny Rose (£4.2m), Nicolas Nkoulou (£4.5m), Ozan Tufan (£5.0m) and Emmanuel Dennis (£5.2m) all amongst the starting XI.

At Goodison Park, Antonio Conte takes charge of his first Premier League game as Tottenham Hotspur Head Coach, and sticks with the same XI that beat Vitesse on Thursday.

Rafael Benitez, meanwhile, makes three changes from Gameweek 10, with Lucas Digne (£5.2m), Fabian Delph (£4.4m) and Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) replacing Mason Holgate (£4.2m), Jean-Philippe Gbamin (£4.5m) and Alex Iwobi (£5.8m).

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m) and midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.4m) remain on the sidelines. 

Elsewhere, Leeds United make just one change, with Adam Forshaw (£4.5m) coming in for Jamie Shackleton (£4.5m), while Brendan Rodgers has benched Kelechi Iheanacho (£7.0m) and James Maddison (£6.7m), with Ademola Lookman (£6.0m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.5m) flanking Jamie Vardy (£10.8m) up front.

    What’s happened to Kane’s pace

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Needs ankles for pace.

    2. WVA

      Can't lose something you never had

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He wasn’t rapid no but he was much much quicker

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He's really a 45 year old with a fake ID

    4. DARE TO BISCAN

      Kane's pace was a no-season wonder.

    Auba (C)! I surrender

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      🙁

    Aubameyang is quite poor at penalties. Last one he took was bad too. Lava should be on them.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Oops, goal is lava?

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Smith Rowe should take them

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yes. Not Saka for obvious reasons...

    3. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Laca's far better.

      Aubameyang has missed a few important pens for Arsenal.

    4. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ramsdale should take them

  4. Jafooli

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Yes but would never have reasonably considered playing him away to Arsenal when Sanchez had Newcastle - hope keeps it up for next week!

    1. LiamK17
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tbf that’s just a weird move to play Foster over Ramsdale at the emirates (even tho it looks good now)

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, hence that kinda season. Weird moves are being rewarded.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why would you bench a 10m striker against Watford

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

  28. BobB

    • 14 Years

    Ranieri must have something: Watford looked dreadful against Liverpool. Much better now.

  29. borat
    • 8 Years

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
