Sunday’s Premier League action continues in Birmingham as Aston Villa take on Leicester City in Gameweek 15.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

Steven Gerrard makes two changes to his starting XI, with Ashley Young and Jacob Ramsey coming in for Matt Targett and Leon Bailey, who both picked up injuries in midweek.

That suggests £4.5m midfielder Ramsey will feature in Villa’s front three, alongside Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins.

As for Leicester, Jamie Vardy – who is owned by 26.8% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers – is named as a substitute, as Patson Daka leads the line.

Kieran Dewsbury-Hall also comes in for Boubakary Soumare, who drops to the bench.

GAMEWEEK 15 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Young, Nakamba, McGinn, Luiz, Buendia, Ramsey, Watkins

Subs: Steer, Sanson, Tuanzebe, El Ghazi, Hause, Philogene-Bidace, Chukwuemeka, Davis, Iroegbunam

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Castagne, Evans, Soyuncu, Thomas, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndidi, Maddison, Lookman, Barnes, Daka

Subs: Ward, Vardy, Albrighton, Iheanacho, Perez, Choudhury, Vestergaard, Daley-Campbell, Soumare

      If I don’t captain him for atleast 60% of the weeks I don’t see enough value in bringing him in
      Would rather spread the funds and get the likes of Son Bowen Mount Foden etc. along with jota salah

    So are people buying or selling Jota? I have him but no Man City MF’s. If Firmino not yet fit then may as well keep I think. Playing CF for Liverpool at his price seems no brainier (even though annoying he missed that open goal at the weekend)

      If Jota could finish he’d be an 11mn option
