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.

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

      Fernandinho brought on to see out the game

      Way to do it: add a goal

      Bye bye Rafa...

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Crazy, he was doing well before the massive injury crisis

          1. Yankee Toffee
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            No DCL = no goals

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                2 years, 4 months ago

                They did okay without him too, it was only when basically every good player everton have got injured, think it's quite frankly idiotic to want him sacked without seeing how he does when they're back again which seems soon enough

          2. Bushwhacker
            • 4 Years

            Nah ; he’ll get time with an actual team

            Blame Rafa for the hospital list and no squad depth

              That's what managers are for...

          Mbuemo has to be one of the funniest bandwagons in recent FPL history.

          Some of the pushing from professional pundits was quite bizzare.

          Hopefully he's still blindly backed!

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

            Yep.

            Yup. It was very toxic to push against it.

            Assist?

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

            It was Bilva

            And offside

          3. Assisting the assister

          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Antonio has been terrible. Maybe I’ll downgrade him to Dennis and invest elsewhere

          1. Yankee Toffee
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Didn't Dennis come off injured?

        • Rainer
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Jesus owners deserve that.

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

            Gundogan got touch

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

              Ah damn 🙁

              • 7 Years

              No way

            • 6 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Yes, but it's not enough tbh. Should have benched him and start Dennis.

          Gundo got the assist for the 2nd goal?

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah I think he touched it but one of those could easily stay with Jesus

            • Bushwhacker
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Don’t think it hit him
