2pm kick-off team news as Burnley v Spurs is postponed

Sunday’s match between Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions, but there are still three Premier League matches kicking off at 14:00 BST – Brentford v Everton, Leicester City v Watford and Manchester City v West Ham United.

For Man City, Phil Foden (£8.2m) and Jack Grealish (£7.6m) are both missing from the matchday squad, with Riyad Mahrez (£8.6m), Raheem Sterling (£10.6m) and Gabriel Jesus (£8.7m) leading the line in Pep Guardiola’s 4-3-3 formation.

Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) remains sidelined following his positive Covid-19 test.

David Moyes makes just the one change from Gameweek 12, as Jarrod Bowen (£6.4m) drops to the bench, with Arthur Masuaku (£4.4m) coming into the starting XI.

Meanwhile, Thomas Frank makes two changes from last weekend’s 3-3 draw at Newcastle United, as Charlie Goode (£3.9m) and Frank Onyeka (£4.9m) replace Mads Roerslev (£4.3m) and Saman Ghoddos (£5.3m), who are both benched.

Everton, who are winless since Gameweek 6, make three changes as Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.4m) returns from injury and starts ahead of Fabian Delph (£4.4m), while Alex Iwobi (£5.8m) and Salomon Rondon (£6.0m) also feature from the off.

Notably, Demarai Gray (£5.6m) returns from injury and starts on the bench.

Elsewhere, Leicester’s starting XI features Jonny Evans (£5.4m) and Jamie Vardy (£10.6m), while Ben Foster (£4.1m) misses out for Watford, with Daniel Bachmann (£4.2m) in goal.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        It was between Foden, Raph &Saka

  2. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Another 12 point Cancelo haul will sooth the absence of Kane

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think I’d retire from this game for the year if that happens

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      It won't. Everyone has him, not Kane

  3. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    City clean sheet and Brentford goals is all I ask

  4. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Benrahma wasting Antonio chance

  5. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Who’s the priority transfer?

    A. Jota

    B. James

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      If James plays 90 today worries will grow massively for midweek.

      Jota this GW, James overall.

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        This

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      A. While Firmino out lasts.

    3. Tcheco
      • 6 Years

      Thank you

    Did anybody simply consider asking the snow to cease falling?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Great Thunberg. But she captained Kane and VC Trent.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Damn you, Greta. I knew there was something off about her!

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Someone could have asked the Zambian witch doctor to put a cease and desist spell on the skies.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe even ask him for a cheeky little Salah goal drought spell to make the season interesting

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          That too.

  7. Eh, just one more thing ...
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I know it’s mean but … my mini league leader played his bench boost … Kane, Son, Hobjberg and Foster no shows …. Oops.

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Wow....now that's bad luck.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      If you're not laughing at him I'd be disappointed!

    3. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      It’s not mean bask in the glory of his failure

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Is Foster dropped?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Not in squad. Could have sore old bones.

    5. _Ninja_

      The amazing thing is that someone with triple spurs is leading your ML.

      2. Eh, just one more thing ...
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        What’s more amazing is was he was around 7k OR until two weeks ago when he brought them in … down to 45k ish now … I love it.

    6. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

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

      haha, what is their starting 11 though if they benched Kane and Son?

      1. fusen
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        As in, it sounds like they did bench wonkery, which would make it even worse.

  8. Horlicks esq.

    Harry Pain.

  9. tbos83

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      That's a bad move even for free.

  10. Monster Muppets
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Soooo glad to have Son , Reguilon and Cornet today.
    There goes my season :/

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Sucks but it's just 1 GW.

  11. HD7
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I have Kane Dier and Cornet... great

    Cant they just play the match later?

    By the way can someone remind when was the last time when a Premiership match was postponed because of the snow?

    1. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Ooo. Probably 2019 I think? Normally because of safe travel etc. Although today was a late late call.

      It’s not the first, it won’t be the last.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Southampton vs Arsenal? Morning of the match.

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

    West Ham battering City here

  13. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Heave snow at etihad, could be postponed too

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I’d be down to 7 players then

    2. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Nah, not now it’s started. It’ll finish. But could be anybody’s game

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No, David Moyes has a stare that could melt snow by just looking at it

  14. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Can we now say that B. Johnson is nailed?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Coufal probably features in the Xmas congestion.

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yes,I agree

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking of using up one of my FTs to get him for Manquillo.

      Though Manquillo lost his place as soon as I put him in lol

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I've been saying this weekly

    4. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Will be rotated with Coufal over the Christmas period

    5. One More Hit
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I got him as an enabler for Raphinha > Jota. Won't play every game but West Ham's fixture congestion is insane, so he'll surely feature. Safe choice as 5th defender anyway

  15. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Bowen off the bench for Son for me. Oh

  16. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    With Son no show, two weeks in a row where my team has come down to needing a saving from Mbeumo. this season has been rough, to say the least.

  17. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Bissouma 2 pointer coming in for Kane. So no loss of points there.

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Next year is likely.

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        So do I get their points when it’s rearranged? Got Kane and Son, typical of my season really

        1. _Ninja_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

      Potential assist?

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

        I think it would be nobody, Fabianski error
