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.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not if he plays 90 today

        This

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years

    3. Assisting the assister

      Essential

  2. Isca Extremadura

    • 11 Years

    NO snow in West London ! ( Brentford & Chelsea )

  3. AC Yew
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Started Foster over Sanchez. Since he won't play do I get the Sanchez points?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Y

    2. dabber7

      Of course

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I will allow it

  4. Firmino
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy ruins the gameweek

    1. james 101
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not for everyone…

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Unfortunately so 🙁

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No Vardy no party

    4. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years

  5. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would a take a -4 and do
    Foden + livra—>Gundogan + Reece James (-4)
    Or
    Just foden to Gundogan FT.

  6. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    That Calvert Lewin is an odd one. Wearing a table cloth in his latest advert.

    He’s heading the way of Bellarin and should concentrate on getting fit rather than being the new Jean Paul Gaultier

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You should concentrate on your own life too rather than a footballers. Let him do what he wants. Wearing a table cloth doesn’t affect his football ability

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If I’ve got a problem with men wearing table cloths I shall vent on here

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I'm wearing a tablecloth right now. It's standard over here.

          1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            As long as it has a hole or two

    2. mox81
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Souness, is that you? Don't forget Utd are playing later, good op to take a dig at Pogba too.

  7. JohnnyCroat

    Small mercies... FFS H2H league, opponent and myself are tied currently, but they have double Spurs and only 2 off the bench (to go 2 ahead). We both have James, Dennis, Cancelo, but I have double Hammers and CR7 to get me there probably.

    1. JohnnyCroat
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Narrator: Benrahma came off on '59 (one for the General) and CR7 was booked as the game wound down. Our hero did not win or draw his H2H.

  8. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    And the snow in MadChester is bonkers according to other Hammers on the ground. They'll obviously try play it out. Calling it off now would be extreme.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They've beem cleaning the pitch quite well.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Big disadvantage for Jamaican Antonio 🙁

  9. AC/DC AFC

    Frank Williams dies at 79.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

  12. Super Silva

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dennis can cover him, no problema.

  14. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any rumours, intrigued now!

    @OddsOnFPL
    I've gotten the Man United lineup for the game against Chelsea. Wow. Carrick has some cojones.

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sancho starting. Ronaldo had better be starting

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ronaldo benched

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah that’s what worries me lol

    5. Revival

      Sancho starting hopefully.

    6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years

      Phil Jones comeback time

    7. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      My rumour is Spurs vs Burnley to go ahead this evening please

    8. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      might just go all out attack

  15. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Cancel the City game and get the Spurs and Burnley boys up there to play instead I say

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Delay at Etihad... call it off!

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Please don’t

  17. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Foden —>Sancho for free?
    Might be a really ahead of the curve move which might/might not pay off

  18. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    5 minute delay at City clearing snow

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Fine...get wider snow scoops

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I dunno how they could see the ball - with a blizzard blowing in their faces. Expect loads of mistakes late on.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        All fine now.

        7 mins delay judging by the Brentford game.

  19. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    It might be a bit extreme but I’ve just caught a rabbit and cut its throat, a sacrifice to the god of snow, please, fall!

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      But only over the king power, I want my cancelo CS

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years

  20. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Phil Jones going to start at CB?

    1. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lindelol and Bailey

  21. 420king
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like City game won't be called off. Pitch being cleaned.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Almost clear tbf.

      A bit of elbow grease.

  22. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    People are buying Maddison already 😆

    1. james 101
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not a bad player. Great fixtures.

      But a bit early!

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        The games not over and I fear that one is a trap!

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          He'll have a dgw coming up tho after this one is abandoned

  23. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Was Sean Dyche wearing a vest tho?

    Is he a secret thermals kind of guy.

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Most Sean Dyche thing I’ve seen

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        It's kind of cool.

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  25. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Snow proper heavy at Leicester too now.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The sacrifice worked, let it fall!

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Quick kill another

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks a good flurry.

      They don't have the Manchester shovel man power it seems!

  26. Isca Extremadura
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Leicester have the sprinklers on at the KP !

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Because soaking the pitch is sure to help 🙄

    2. Tigers Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm assuming they feel with a wet ground the snow won't settle - fat chance.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That really doesn't sound like it'll help

      2. TyroneGAA
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

      3. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I must say if it’s called off you should keep their points (non owner)

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
