Burnley v Leicester team news: Cornet returns, Maddison and Vardy on bench

The final match of Gameweek 27 sees Burnley play host to Leicester City at Turf Moor.

Kick-off is at 19:45 GMT.

A lot of captaincy hopes will be pinned on Wout Weghorst tonight, who once again leads the line in Sean Dyche’s 4-4-1-1 formation.

Elsewhere, there are three changes from the side that drew 1-1 at Crystal Palace on Saturday, with Charlie Taylor, Ashley Westwood and Maxwel Cornet coming in for the injured Erik Pieters, plus Jack Cork and Jay Rodriguez, both of whom drop to the bench.

The big news for Leicester is the return of Jamie Vardy as a substitute, which manager Brendan Rodgers addressed before kick-off.

“Hopefully he will get an appearance at some point. It was just too early for a start. He is there for the last 15-20 minutes if we need him.”

Harvey Barnes, meanwhile, replaces Ademola Lookman, who is benched alongside James Maddison and Kelechi Iheanacho.

GAMEWEEK 27 LINE-UPS

Burnley XI: Pope, Roberts, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Lennon, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Cornet, Weghorst

Subs: Hennessey, Lowton, Collins, Bardsley, Long, Cork, Barnes, Rodriguez, Richardson

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Amartey, Soyuncu, Thomas, Ndidi, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Albrighton, Barnes, Daka

Subs: Ward, Vestergaard, Choudhury, Mendy, Lookman, Perez, Maddison, Iheanacho, Vardy

    Would have got 19 points (probably would have done Fernandes to son, maybe a Burnley defender for dalot and king to Weghorst for a -8.

    I’m very happy with 56 points even though the week was poor.

      Not as nailed but still seems likely to play most particularly if Azpi is injured and Christensen injured/leaving. Shame the saving isn't that much over Rudi.

    51pts, no FH. Dropped 2k places from 60k to 62k.

    Boring week. Hopefully I can use my FH to my advantage in GW30.

    Happy to have another game to choose from but still don't have to worry about carrying players from those teams.

    Really struggling here? Zero funds and 1FT

    Pope
    Laporte, Walker- peters, Mee
    Son, Bruno, Sterling, Bowen
    Kane, Broja, Weghorst(c)

    Butland, Burn, Dendonca, Williams

    I'm think Bruno to Salah but need to downgrade elsewhere for that?!?

      I'd get rid of Sterling and use the funds to get Salah and a Chelsea defender. Maybe Raphinha, Rudiger and Salah in.

    Bowen is currently the most sold player ahead of GW28 but if Soton win tomorrow as the bookies are suggesting is more likely, then you can just bench him for 28 and then has has a pretty good run of: AVL, TOT (in a BGW), EVE, BRE, BUR.

      I'm going to keep him. City minutes per xG conceded is 140. Next best is Liverpool with 104 and Chelsea with 100. And he has the attacking potential.

      Problem is the Tuchel comments yesterday on James weren't ideal for DGW28 (as he's probably the most exciting replacement for Cancelo):

      "Reece James has a huge overload on his shoulders, the recommendation was to play him for 20 minutes and he played over 70 minutes. We were in good shape for the final, now we have a lot of players in overload, it is too much to talk about."

    WC28 or save for 31-32 (feel it might be easier to navigate through the next 3 weeks and then wildcard)

    Currently, I can take 1 hit GW28 and none after to get:

    5 doubles 28
    7/8 doubles 29
    Should also get 9 players 30*

    Ramsdale
    TAA | Robertson | Cancelo | Rudi/Kilman* | Livra*

    I have a feeling that I will soon run out of luck. My hit cost has been -24 pts during last two weeks (only one FH and BB left) and I have managed to get two tiny green arrows. Now I am in strange situation again, I can't decide whether to take -12 and force BB or just roll. Usually good planning has helped, but this season has been crazy.
