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.

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Not watching but was the VAR call at least correct?

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        As a Bowen owner and not watching the game I can confirm that the VAR call was not correct.

        1. Eh, just one more thing ...
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Lol

        As a non-watching AntBow owner, can confirm VAR was wrong

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

      Deflection came off Watford player rather than Antonio assist?

  16. Firmino
    • 8 Years

    Thank god!

  17. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years

  20. Hazz

    Annoying. That was definitely a foul though.

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

    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    My god.

    Got Reguillon as part of a -4.
    No Son, Kane, Bowen, Dennis.

    1. schlupptheweek
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm a Bowen owner but atleast the decision was correct

  24. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Maddison over Bowen was looking bad for a minute there

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      still looks bad!

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I can stomach an assist

  25. Hect.OR 98th
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Couldn't decide between King and Edouard. Wrong choice again. Not made good choices this season.

  26. lewis274
    • 3 Years

    dennis you cheat

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

    Sissoko had a shot on target, I repeat, Sissoko had a SOT.

  28. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Justice for non Bowen owners

  29. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I refreshed for the Bowen goal, just to admire it briefly before it is rescinded.

  30. Ginkapo FPL

    2 years, 4 months ago

    I for one am glad VAR cuts down on these bad calls
