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.

      November does seem a tad early for the game to enter “farce” phase but here we are.

      1. Miniboss
        • 5 Years

        Need to get used to it, climate is changing

          So it's never snowed in Leicester on Nov 28 before today?

    No Cristiano Ronaldo in the Man United starting XI today.

    Donny van de Bench.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years

      Ffs…

    2. Oggle22
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Would top it off If true

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Fernandes time with no Ronaldo. Fernandes has been stifled by Ronaldo.

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

      Honestly I kinda get it.

      We are going to control the ball & United will need pace up top.

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

        (for counters)

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years

      Ronny against tired legs. I'll take it.

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

        Chelsea men just get stronger

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

      Impact sub is how he should have been used from the off.

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

    OMG Carrick

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

    I was hoping owning both Kane and Son would be a great differential until everyone else caught on...

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

      Tbf everyone was banging on about their fixtures since the international break, forgetting their form.

  5. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    Ronaldo to Kane success!!

  6. Isca Extremadura
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  7. HonestBlatter

    Call Leicester game off now. This is not safe anymore

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

      No chance

    2. OptimusBlack

      Stop being like Grandmother

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      This. Will someone please think of the children!

  8. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Curious Vardy is being a flattrack bully today. That isnt his usual style

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      As an owner I’m hoping this kick starts one of those runs of scoring form.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 4 months ago

        He alternates these days there's no real rhyme or reason

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Yep. Minutes are what’d put you off.

        2. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Thats not good in an fpl pick

    3. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Hope they have defibrillators available for the fellas that shuffle snow

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

      Ralph already making the decisions at United if that Ronaldo rumour is true.

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        ??

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

          He'll want hard working pressers in his team not Ronaldo's thing...

          1. Bushwhacker
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Isn’t Carrick in charge? I mean its been obvious from day one Ronaldo should be an impact sub

    5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Sounds like weather has eased at Etihad and worsened at Leicester

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

        I'm watching the Leicester game. Its terrible. Can't even see the ball!

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        It moves in mysterious ways

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

      Surely if the snow continues to chuck down in Leicester, they'd take a time out to clear it up as in the City game at HT?

      Or clutching at straws..?

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

        It's not getting called off surely.

        1. HonestBlatter
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Why..you should get proper snow management equipment there soon

        2. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Vardy brace says otherwise

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

          Would be horribly unfair on Leicester tbh (and us Vardy owners...)

        4. jackruet
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          How do you know

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

          Yeah half an hour played. Christmas schedule. They won't cancel this now. If anything pause, shovel & finish it off ASAP.

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

            *half an hour left

      2. Tigers Time
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yes they could pause the game and get the lines cleared - I can't see it being called off now.

      3. ebb2sparky
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I could be wrong but I think the score stands if a certain number of minutes are played before a game is abandoned. I had in my head that it was 65 minutes but a quick Google suggests 60. Not sure how realiable my Google search result was though.

        Anyone know for sure?

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

      Ah yes. Sterling is on this pitch

    8. Isca Extremadura
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Snow far worse at Leicester now

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

        I have Vardy but also Tomiyasu as first sub so not sure what I want to happen

    9. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      @OddsOnFPL

      Not sure about the formation, but here is the lineup which I have received for today.

      De Gea
      Wan Bissaka - Lindelof - Bailly - Telles
      Matic - Fred - McTominay
      Sancho - Bruno - Rashford

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

        Bruno essential!

      2. I am 42
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        no Ronaldo?

        I brought in Kane because I want Ronaldo for gw16 lol

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

        Bruno false 9 has my attention

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Thought Shaw might be interesting at 5m but if Telles has a good game today probably not!

      4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Well it's interesting, Bruno false 9 or Rashford leading the line?

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

        4-6-0

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

      Knew Ronaldo would be dropped

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Held him since GW4 and now he can't even get in the team

      2. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Hampering the team ; can’t compete in the Prem with a passenger no matter how talented

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

      Safety first, call this Leicester game off!

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

        I agree

      2. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, safety is your first thought and not the Vardy brace. 😀

      3. DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Behavr

      4. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I’ve got 17 points from it currently.

        So kind of hoping it continues…

      5. HTL
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        It looks absolutely awful there (Vardy owner)

    12. Green Arrow
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Moved closer to the tv. Still can't see the ball.

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

      Lei match getting farcical.

    14. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Call it off, it’s to cold to play !

    15. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Call it all off and declare the game week nul and void

    16. SHOWSTOPPERRR
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Can they take a break and clean the snow?

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        They can but then you have slight issues with players calling down, going again, increased Injury risk etc

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

        They need to build a roof at this rate.

      3. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Of course

    17. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      This fella is claiming Ronaldo is benched

    18. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I own Wilson and am now worried about there being big snow in Newcastle in a couple nights

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Only snows once in a blue moon you’ll be fine

      2. HTL
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        So long as SJP took no storm damage you’ll be fine. Plenty of trees fallen over around Heaton when I drove past this morning tho

    19. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Nightmare for some of us.

    20. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      If only mahrez was a regular in this city team..
      At 9m he would probably be one of the best value players in the game
      The number of shots he takes/chances he creates per game is pretty high.

    21. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      So how many minutes do they have to play for result to stand!? Nervous Vardy and Dennis Owner!

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

        Game has to be completed, AFAIK.

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

          Does it not count if its over 75 or 80 mins or somthing? A precedent was a postponed match after 45mins for a pitch 'riot' I've found but I guess thats different circumstances

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

            I think that was the case historically but I’ve been Googling it and it seems it’s now full match or at FA discretion

      2. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        They wont remove your points if that is what you are worried about.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Never been the case. If it's abandoned on 89 mins the result is void, as would FPL points, I'd have thought.

    22. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Odds on Vardy doing a snow angel goal celebration for his hat trick?

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Would be awesome.

        1. AC/DC AFC

          • 8 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Just listening on the radio so don't know.

          Apparently they can't see!

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        1/10. Then it will get abandoned.

    23. AC/DC AFC

        Who got the assist?

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Dennis goal

        VAR check on a foul?

        If they can see...
