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.

    How nailed is Darwin now? Is it worth doing Kane to Darwin (frees up funds!)

      I dont think he's nailed, even with all the injuries, but he will get mins. Don't like him as option though as even if he starts, he's not a 90min man

      I'm tempted by that move. Will Kane play as hard with 4 weeks until WC, he's not going to want to get injured.

      Here is what Arteta said- so should be OK …….

        Oh just seen he has been flagged.

        Not sure if there is an arsenal presser tomorrow.

        Classic case here where I'll buy martinelli instead of saka.

        And saka will be fine and score heavily

          I know! I am still getting Saka as have Martinelli and Foden already and Andreas off bench v Leeds not the worst outcome- then will have in place for Forest game. I do think he will be OK as looked fine at the end and Arteta didn’t say he would need to be assessed and was fairly relaxed about it

    I always knew this GW was gonna be horrible for me and got spanked with a 170k red arrow points, should have gone through with my initial choice and put the armband on Trippier but bottled it in the end 🙁

    So grateful I didn't go for the -8

    This is the second GW in a row with 10 clean sheets in a GW. Can't wait for GW13 gonna be a big one for so many...

    Good luck everyone, and let's get those arrows green!

    Considering the hit to replace Maddison, Coufal benching leaving my team with 10 players, plus all those cheapskates being rewarded from Ward and Neco - getting a tiny green arrow and sneaking into top 200k this week is an enormous relief.

    On Saka...

    About 5 mins before he came off, he made a run through the middle & got a kick to the back of his calf. He continued his run, got passed another player and took a shot.

    He then went down, physio on, but got up very quick. He looked okay after, didn't signal to come off & walked off fine.

    Looked like an impact injury, just a kick, I'm sure his pain has already passed!
