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.

      Noble grew a larger pair

  7. JBG

    Could have at least let Antonio take it.. you knob.

    1. Rainer

      He's awful at them.

    More, Bowen, more!

    Bowen is such a gem

  12. JONALDINHO

    Bowen > Antonio

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      Bad move 😉

      This may not age well in the next 30 minutes.

  13. Bobby Digital

    Took out Bowen when Whu had that blank... Booo!

  14. King Carlos
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bowen's killing it

  15. Cilly Bonnolly

    Why are we shocked that Antonio didn’t take it? Noble is, and has been, a penalty specialist for years.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      We're not surprised. Even Rice is ahead of Antonio now.

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not shocked, just should have let Antonio take it hehe.

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No one is shocked. They just wanted him to take it

      If you whine loudly enough, the Lizard overlords will hear and grant your wish. Obviously.

  16. NABIL - FPL otai

      Djembo-Djembo?

  18. King Carlos

    Watford's been AWFUL. And soon they'll lose more players to Afcon

  19. Atimis
    • 7 Years

      Feet up, relaxing nicely.

      1. Shark Team
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Thought he was "essential"...

        1. Burger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Never saw that, thankfully.

      Comfy on the bench.

      In the bath

    7. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      A bit short

    8. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Eyes. Bit scowly

  21. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    How’s Sonny(c) performing vs 10 saints?

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Not that good tbh.

  22. Eh, just one more thing ...
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Can we have a SON goal please?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Please NO

  23. Podge
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Moura over Bowen going well

  24. I Must Break You
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Non-Kane owner, but he was robbed on that offside call. Wish they would get rid of the shoulder offsides and just draw the line at the players’ feet. Would greatly simplify things

  25. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    An Antman goal with Bowen assist now would be a thing of beauty.

  26. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Moura coming on soon

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully for Son

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        On fof Alli now

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Good for Son’s scoring chances

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

    Kanes shoulder he swore on his daughters life with, millimeters offside...

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      So, offside then

  28. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Need another goal from Dennis and one from C Son to make up for not having Salah…

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Why? Is Salah going to provide only one goal?

  29. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Had Bowen for about 4 weeks between his good spells and he did nothing. Rubbish. More for Antonio please!

  30. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    That disallowed goal was really really pissing off as a Kane captainer.

    1. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Same here. Class premier league doing premier league things. If it was Man City, there wouldn't even be a VAR check
