3pm kick-off team news: Gallagher, Livramento and Pukki miss out

The dust of Gameweek 19 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) has barely settled but we’re already up and running for Gameweek 20, with three matches kicking-off at 15:00 GMT: Crystal Palace v Norwich City, Southampton v Tottenham Hotspur and Watford v West Ham United.

At Selhurst Park, Conor Gallagher is absent for the home side, with Jack Butland, James Tomkins and the suspended Wilfried Zaha also dropping out for Vicente Guaita, Marc Guehi, Jeffrey Schlupp and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Norwich – who have scored just eight league goals all season – have made six changes from their Gameweek 19 defeat to Arsenal, with Sam Byram, Dimitris Giannoulis, Jacob Sorensen, Pierre Lees-Melou, Christos Tzolis and Adam Idah coming in for Max Aarons, Brandon Williams, Ozan Kabak, Kieran Dowell, Joshua Sargent and Teemu Pukki.

Elsewhere, Ralph Hasenhuttl makes six changes, with Shane Long and Adam Armstrong paired up front together. That means Armando Broja is a substitute, while Tino Livramento misses out altogether with fluid in his knee.

For Spurs, they make three changes from their 3-0 Boxing Day win over Palace. In come Ben Davies, Harry Winks and Dele Alli, with Japhet Tanganga, Oliver Skipp and Lucas Moura all dropping to the bench.

Claudio Ranieri, meanwhile, makes three changes for Watford’s first game since December 10th, as Francisco Sierralta, Adam Masina and Ozan Tufan replace William Troost-Ekong, Jeremy Ngakia and Tom Cleverley.

Their opponents, West Ham United, also make changes. Captain Declan Rice is suspended, so Mark Noble makes a rare start in midfield, with Jarrod Bowen, Manuel Lanzini and Said Benrahma lining up behind Michail Antonio in David Moyes’ usual 4-2-3-1 formation.

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It was but saints never get these decisions

    Pen

  20. Scots Gooner

    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    2nd half should be interesting at least.

  21. AIRMILES
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Salisu second yellow

  22. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Anthony Taylor was waiting for that red card and penalty.

    Damn it

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It was offside though?

      Where’s VAR?

  23. Bubz
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Hakuna Mateta

  24. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Salisu gets what he wanted...

  25. fricky_
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Here we go then, Son

  26. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Red card, let’s go big sonny haul

  27. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I’m thankful I held off on the hit after all for Son, however was considering Soucek as part of a hit for him.
    Did the boring move of Ramsdale > DDG

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Timing

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        It’s an assist, and would have been for a hit

  28. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Son and Kane owners can stop moaning now.

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
