Sigurdsson’s benching among the headline Gameweek 20 team news

Gameweek 20 kicks off at 15:00 GMT today as five Premier League matches take place, including Spurs v Wolves and Brighton v Everton.

Christian Eriksen, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane are joined by Dele Alli in the Spurs attack, while Kieran Trippier, Ben Davies and Davinson Sanchez return to the home defence.

Wolves meanwhile have made three changes in the midfield/forward positions, with Ruben Neves and Ivan Cavaleiro recalled and Leander Dendoncker making his first Premier League start.

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin drop to the bench for Everton’s trip to Brighton, as Richarlison is recalled up front.

Marco Silva is once again deploying a wing-back system after their 5-1 success at Turf Moor on Boxing Day.

Brighton recall Florin Andone in attack at the expense of Glenn Murray, while David Button is the £4.0m-rated goalkeeper given the nod to deputise for Mathew Ryan.

Jose Holebas, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Troy Deeney are among the substitutes as Javi Gracia makes six changes for the visit of Newcastle, who recall Christian Atsu, Ayoze Perez and Salomon Rondon.

Tom Cairney and Luciano Vietto replace Aboubakar Kamara and Andre Schurrle as Claudio Ranieri again rolls out a 3-4-3. Chris Lowe returns for Huddersfield, meanwhile.

Jamie Vardy and James Maddison both start for Leicester this afternoon, with the Foxes entertaining a Cardiff side who welcome back Callum Paterson from injury up front.

    Son almost scores a better goal than Kane. Just wide

    1. The Train Driver
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      "almost" he has wasted 3 attacking opportunities already

    Son goes from hero to zero, so selfish...

    1. GreennRed

      He's backing himself. Not such a bad thing.

    Kane and Eirksen must be doing a lot of practice on shooting with their left legs these days because some of the shots they are unleashing with their left pegs look to have just as good technique if not better as they have in their right pegs.

    Paul Merson pronouncing Richarlison as Rickardison.

    I say it every week, the man steals a living.

    1. diesel001

      He does steal a living. Le Tissier is much better than him. Le Tissier is a Countdown winner too.

        Le Tissier even worse imo. Charlie Nicholas aside, it's a parade of morons.

    Ffsssssssss no GK clean sheet in months!

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      What’s a clean sheet?

      1. Accio Cup
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        When you don't drop anything on the sheet after having $€X

        1. Burger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          If it's not dripping off the ceiling, it's not technically $€X

  24. Differentiator

    FERK went Troy Donkey but Rondonkey was the real deal

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years

      He will repay you next week

    Son with "Kane shot"

  26. Crouching Tiger

    At the moment it is so crucial your midfielders don't blank. There is no template. There are Son, Eriksen, Salah, Hazard, Pogba, Martial, Richarlison, Fanderson, Siggy, Fraser, Sane and Sterling, to name a few. And maximum of 5 spots to field. The trick is to pick the players in form.
