3pm kick-off team news: Gallagher, Livramento and Pukki miss out

The dust of Gameweek 19 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) has barely settled but we’re already up and running for Gameweek 20, with three matches kicking-off at 15:00 GMT: Crystal Palace v Norwich City, Southampton v Tottenham Hotspur and Watford v West Ham United.

At Selhurst Park, Conor Gallagher is absent for the home side, with Jack Butland, James Tomkins and the suspended Wilfried Zaha also dropping out for Vicente Guaita, Marc Guehi, Jeffrey Schlupp and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Norwich – who have scored just eight league goals all season – have made six changes from their Gameweek 19 defeat to Arsenal, with Sam Byram, Dimitris Giannoulis, Jacob Sorensen, Pierre Lees-Melou, Christos Tzolis and Adam Idah coming in for Max Aarons, Brandon Williams, Ozan Kabak, Kieran Dowell, Joshua Sargent and Teemu Pukki.

Elsewhere, Ralph Hasenhuttl makes six changes, with Shane Long and Adam Armstrong paired up front together. That means Armando Broja is a substitute, while Tino Livramento misses out altogether with fluid in his knee.

For Spurs, they make three changes from their 3-0 Boxing Day win over Palace. In come Ben Davies, Harry Winks and Dele Alli, with Japhet Tanganga, Oliver Skipp and Lucas Moura all dropping to the bench.

Claudio Ranieri, meanwhile, makes three changes for Watford’s first game since December 10th, as Francisco Sierralta, Adam Masina and Ozan Tufan replace William Troost-Ekong, Jeremy Ngakia and Tom Cleverley.

Their opponents, West Ham United, also make changes. Captain Declan Rice is suspended, so Mark Noble makes a rare start in midfield, with Jarrod Bowen, Manuel Lanzini and Said Benrahma lining up behind Michail Antonio in David Moyes’ usual 4-2-3-1 formation.

      Elbows Shane long in face classic non referee decision then lunges in and only gets a yellow.

      Love to see a fair referee

        LOL. It wasn't an elbow. And then he won the ball on the YC challenge. You should be annoyed at Salisu, not the ref.

      Why would you do that?

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

        Because my starting eleven is better options than him

      They weren't great actually.

        Crap, but saints were fouling every 2 seconds and the red was always coming. Kwp will probably get one too

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

        Average

      • Podge
        • 13 Years

        Rubbish

      • F4L
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        alright, looked dangerous on the break with Southampton's high press

      • DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Absolutely carp

      • Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Saints weren't giving them any chance to play. Far more intensity and frustrating possession with fouls.

    9. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years

      Don't know how I ended up picking Edouard this week but it's turned out a decent transfer so far πŸ™‚

      Ronaldo > Eduoard (-4) next, no question what so ever πŸ˜›

      Hughes’s having another great game for us

        Is that sarcasm?

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

      Of course I had exactly the funds forJ ayew only despite knowing that Edouard would haul. How can Ayew be so ineffective

        They should really be singing about their player who got a red.

        • 7 Years

        A lot of teams will have those players anyway without using a FH however.

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

        Small clubs are always good at singing about opposition players and referees.

          Spurs fans haven't sang once though?

      Can't believe I've had Benteke's deadwood instead of Edouard for the longest time

    22. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Moura offers so much more than Alli in this role

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Plank of wood would offer more
