Sunday treats us to four Premier League matches before the second international break of the season is thrust upon us.

First up, we make our way to Old Trafford as United welcome struggling Stoke City.

With a single goal in the last four rounds of fixtures, Zlatan Ibrahimovic ended as runner-up in captain poll with just under 22% of the votes csat.

The big Swede warmed up for this one by netting the Europa League winner against Zorya on Thursday night, though another failure to deliver is likely to spark significant sales over the next fortnight.

Ibra was sold by more Fantasy Premier League managers than any forward last week, in spite of today’s plum fixture.

Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, has been subject to significant transfers in after netting in three of the last four league fixtures.

Up against a Potters defence that shipped 15 goals in their first six, the duo look the men most likely as Jose Mourinho seeks to build on the back of last week’s 4-1 home win over champions Leicester City.

Both sides make no changes from their Gameweek 6 starting XIs this lunchtime, with Wayne Rooney once again warming the Red Devils’ bench.

        I knew stoke would be better l but the chances of stoke winning are slim so i went with a draw. Kinda by default.

        1-1 exactly as well

    What is the difference between Mourinho and van Gaal at United? They are both shocking.

    1. Eden Azzzar
      10 years, 1 month ago

    2. El-Kloppico
      10 years, 1 month ago

        10 years, 1 month ago

        moyes is a horrible manager, achieved nothing in his career and sacked twice in two different championships
