Competition is fierce with Lucas Digne the current first team regular, but against Fleetwood Town this week, he should start ahead of his compatriot, who is due a rest.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Luke Thomas (Leicester City)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The 19-year-old picked up a healthy dose of Premier League action towards the backend of last season, and Brendan Rodgers could renew those first team opportunities later this week. With Ricardo Pereira still out injured, and Ben Chilwell no longer a fixture at the King Power, Rodgers may be tempted to shuffle his full-back pack and that could mean an appearance for the highly-regarded Thomas. It is against Arsenal, though, so don&#8217;t be surprised to see Rodgers stick with the fruitful partnership of Justin James and Timothy Castagne, but Thomas will certainly be on Rodgers&#8217; mind.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1086653\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/forgotten-pfa-team-of-the-year-players-premier-league-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1086653\" class=\"wp-image-1086653 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/04\/30095953\/obscure-toty-featured-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/04\/30095953\/obscure-toty-featured-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/04\/30095953\/obscure-toty-featured-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/04\/30095953\/obscure-toty-featured-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/04\/30095953\/obscure-toty-featured-66x37.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/04\/30095953\/obscure-toty-featured-620x350.jpg 620w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/04\/30095953\/obscure-toty-featured-940x530.jpg 940w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/04\/30095953\/obscure-toty-featured.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1086653\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/forgotten-pfa-team-of-the-year-players-premier-league-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A combined XI of forgotten PFA Team of the Year entrants from Premier League history<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Jacob Ramsey (Aston Villa)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A promising first ever start for Villa in the previous round against Burton, but will Dean Smith stick or twist with Jacob Ramsey?

This could be where\u00a0Harrison Ashby steps into the frame. A promising 18-year-old full-back, the Scot made his senior bow against Charlton in the previous round, coming on for Ben Johnson with six minutes from the end and immediately caught the eye, which is no small feat with such little time to impress.
