Gameweek 12 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) reaches its conclusion tonight, with Fulham v Aston Villa getting us underway at 19:30 BST. Leicester City v Leeds United follows at 20:15 BST.

During the second half of the match at the King Power Stadium, Andy and Mark will be live over on our YouTube channel for their weekly Members’ video – and you can watch it via the embedded video below:

As for the team news, Fulham boss Marco Silva makes just one change from the side that drew 2-2 with Bournemouth in Gameweek 11, as Willian replaces Daniel James.

That means Andreas Pereira and Aleksandar Mitrovic start, with their FPL ownerships sitting at 25.2% and 24.8% respectively.

Steven Gerrard also makes one alteration for the visitors, with Jan Bednarek handed a full debut. Matty Cash is the player who drops to the bench, with Ezri Konsa potentially filling the vacated right-back role.

Philippe Coutinho and Emiliano Buendia are substitutes for the second week in a row.

In the later kick-off, Brendan Rodgers makes two changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace in Gameweek 11.

Dennis Praet comes in for the suspended James Maddison, while Jamie Vardy is preferred to Patson Daka.

As for Leeds, Patrick Bamford starts after coming off the bench at half-time against Arsenal. Diego Llorente, Junior Firpo and Crysencio Summerville also make the XI, with Jack Harrison and Rodrigo among those who drop to the bench.

Pascal Struijk was carrying a knock and misses out.

    Q: How’s Saka? Because he looked injured.
    A: Yeah, he got a kick, he was limping a little bit, but hopefully, he will be alright.

    Q: Saka has been playing a lot of minutes this season. Were you tempted to rest him?
    A: Look at the top players in the world. They play 70 matches every three days and make the difference and win the game. You want to be at the top, you have to be able to do that. And if we start to put something different in the mind of a young player, I think we are making a huge mistake because then [he would] be like, ‘no, I don’t play now, on astroturf I don’t play’. I don’t want that. I want them to be ruthless every three days. I want them knocking on my door [saying] I want to play, I want to win the game.

      The annoying thing is that Arteta (not you) inevitably won't give us anything clear in the GW13 presser (it'll be "We have another training session and we will know more tomorrow")

            I think so, yeah. Better goalscorer for a much better attacking team that likes to thrash opponents. The minutes aren't ideal, but when he's on the pitch he's there to score goals. Mitro's penalty was pants today.

      @BigManBakar
      Q) Saka or Foden?

      Foden has to be a priority transfer if you don’t own him this week.

      Manchester City will be seething after last week - having had a week's rest I fully expect a big reaction.

      His ceiling against Brighton in GW13 is too high to ignore - he is yet to blank in a home game this season and in terms of underlying numbers, he is only behind Salah and De Bruyne for non-penalty expected goal involvement among midfielders.

      Saka is a solid pick but I don’t think his ceiling is as high as Foden this week – Arsenal’s xG numbers away from home aren’t as solid as they are at home this season.

      [On Zaha] I would not buy Saka for him but if I did not have any other route to Foden, I’d sell since Foden has hat-trick potential in him in the coming weeks.
