After Sanchez’ delivers a double-figure haul, the day rolls on with five-afternoon kick-offs, with attention switching to Old Trafford as Manchester United host Watford.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic heads into today’s contest once again backed by the majority of Fantasy Premier League managers for the eighth consecutive Gameweek. Over 957,000 (22.1%) opt for the Swede as their skipper for a clash with a Hornets defence that has kept just a single clean sheet since Gameweek 10.

Elsewhere, Everton’s trip to Middlesbrough will be keenly monitored by Romelu Lukaku’s owners. Brought in by more than 186,000 FPL managers ahead of the Teesside trip, they’ll be looking for instant returns from a striker that produced 21-points in Gameweek 24. Lukaku is backed by over 305,000 (7%) managers with the armband.

Sunderland’s Jermain Defoe is the other key asset on show. Brought in by 89,000 ahead of today’s outing, more than 87,000 (2%) have turned to the Black Cats’ veteran for their captain ahead of his meeting with Southampton at the Stadium of Light.

Meanwhile West Ham United, without Andy Carroll, face West Brom at the London Stadium, while Crystal Palace will be seeking a quick recovery following their 4-0 hammering by Sunderland as they make the trip to Stoke City.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Is your West Brom defender the 3rd or 4th defender in your team?

    Phillips over Brunt/McAuley has been a failed approach for me.

    I'm a brunt owner with rivals who have Evans and Mcauley. Those that are saying it'll definitely be taken off Mcauley are deluded. It's not clear either way but there's definitely a possibility it came off Evans then off Mcauley. Mcauley actually runs off to celebrate the goal

    Yes Evans got the header but went in off McAuley. You can see in the celebration with Evans that McAuley is claiming it.
