The today’s proceedings culminate at Old Trafford now as Manchester United welcome Leicester City in the 5.30pm kick-off.

Jose Mourinho’s side are heavily favoured after serving up back-to-back 4-0 wins over West Ham United and Swansea City.

Three goals in his first two league outings for the Red Devils means that Romelu Lukaku is the top captaincy pick for the third Gameweek running.

Over 1.7m FPL managers have handed the Belgian the armband, up against a Foxes side that have conceded at least two goals in five of their seven road trips since Craig Shakespeare took the helm.

Both Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have also been subject to heavy investment – indeed, the pair have outscored Lukaku’s 19 points, with 23 and 21 respectively.

Meanwhile, Jamie Vardy will be looking to build on his two-goal haul at Arsenal in Gameweek 1 and end United’s run of consecutive shutouts.

Over 161,000 FPL managers sold the Foxes’ frontman after he failed to find the net at home to Brighton last weekend.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Lukaku said it touched his foot so he gets it.

      Mark has so much control.
      He tweaks the game in his favour so he can get a good score and have more validity on his shows

    Not a Jones owner, but he deserves BAPS. Has made some good tackles and interceptions

    Jones, Danilo, Suttner, Ake, 4m
    KDB, Eriksen, Mikhi, Ritchie, Carrol

    On paper, City's team is better than United. Yet the contrast in their play is so obvious at the moment.

    Mou vs Pep has always been an interesting debate...

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      In the PL - Mourinho. Because of the physicality and defensive quality of Mourinho's teams. PL is not La Liga.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No, Real and Barca have been the real debate..
      They still are, even after the 2 are gone.

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You think? United's defence on paper a lot better. City's strikers better on paper, but MF is quite even.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Personally, maybe biased, but:
        De Gea>Ederson
        Valencia

      There is a long long way to go in the title race. Big teams these days don't settle for 0-0s. We have those 6 pointers at the top end of the table too.

      Why managers don't look at Wenger as a template for failure I do not understand. Look at the teams who win this leage and almost every time it's pace and power

  12. TorresMagic™
