Spurs v Leicester team news: Son benched, Kulusevski and Perisic start

The 17:30 BST kick-off between Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City rounds off the day’s Premier League action.

There is more Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest in this fixture than usual, with a combination of widespread Wildcard deployment and a reduced fixture list leading to a small spike in popularity for Spurs players in particular.

Four of the 11 most-bought FPL assets of Gameweek 8 come from Antonio Conte’s squad but one of them, Son Heung-min, doesn’t start tonight.

But the other three, Harry Kane, Ivan Perisic and Dejan Kulusevski, make the hosts’ starting XI this evening.

Son is one of four players who drop out of the line-up from Tuesday’s Champions League defeat at Sporting Lisbon.

Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal are also among the substitutes, while Ben Davies is injured and misses out.

Dejan Kulusevski, Davinson Sanchez, Ryan Sessegnon and Clement Lenglet all come into the starting XI, with Sessegnon’s inclusion presumably meaning that Perisic starts on the right flank – something that Conte hinted at in his pre-match presser.

As for the visitors, Jamie Vardy is benched for the second successive league match as Patson Daka is entrusted with the responsibility of leading the line.

Brendan Rodgers has made three changes from Gameweek 8, with new signing Wout Faes handed a debut and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Timothy Castagne recalled.

Boubakary Soumare, Luke Thomas and Kelechi Iheanacho are benched.

GAMEWEEK 8 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Lenglet, Sessegnon, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Richarlison, Kulusevski, Kane.

Subs: Forster, Doherty, Romero, Royal, Tanganga, Bissouma, Skipp, Gil, Son.

Leicester City XI: Ward, Justin, Faes, Evans, Castagne, Maddison, Ndidi, Tielemans, Barnes, Dewsbury-Hall, Daka.

Subs: Iversen, Thomas, Amartey, Albrighton, Praet, Soumare, Perez, Iheanacho, Vardy.

      Salah.

      Brighton might not be as good without Potter.
      I think United will give City a good game & will probably end up 1-1 or something (a low scoring game)

    All I wanted was a 1 week premium punt before Salah is back.

    KDB did ok, but damn. If Son had shown any form/ no rumours of benching (which were true). Then in past seasons it would have been an easy choice.

    Well done any mad hatters when got him!

      I went on the punt Son(c) after Rodgers comments yesterday that they would attack and the data showing Leicester terrible defence - the 3rd goal was the exact reason i bought son in the hope he would start

      I expected a tonne of goals but the luck worked out in the end

      The reason I did salah to son was his overall threat. The underlying stats were just showing he was unlucky but still “performing”. If salah was playing tho I wouldn’t have done it. Fair play to the captainers but I didn’t go that far

      I was going Salah > KdB/Son for this GW only... Heard rumours that Son was being benched so went with KdB. Not too disappointed though as i was always gonna captain Haaland.

    I call some clear BS now.

    The new top scoring team of the week, as it stands right now, has 102 points today and 102 points in total!!!! Joined in with the perfect week!

    As perfect as it can get.

    With a Son Triple Captain played.

    Absolute rubbish, how do you report these teams?

    Arsenal fan btw too but no Arsenal players in the team.
