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

    What is all this Mourinho 1-0 stuff. Utd going for it. He'll save the 1-0s for the top 6.

    Mata (wrongly) disallowed goal (off a great saved shot from Lukaku).

    Pogba almost scored just now too.

    Martial now nailed?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Are you serious?

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Never

    3. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      It's his first start - far from nailed.

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not since he left Monaco.

    Mbemba 3 bonus 🙂

    1. diesel001

      Shameful. Should be Clark. Goal and a CS and only 2 BAPS?

  9. TorresMagic™

    Nice save

  10. L'Aeroplanino

    Pogba miss

    1. Tuchap - Lurker
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Should have scored there

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    HOLD!

  12. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Utd look effing lethal this season. They're going to destroy a few more teams this year.

  13. UshFPL
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    What a save! There's a goal on the way

  14. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Utd having a great spell. Could have had 3 goals.

  15. Judeksi
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    well ManU is getting closer and closer now...

  16. SilkySkills
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    amazing save

  17. willl
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Is Blind nailed? good option if so.

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure with Shaw coming back.

    2. Tuchap - Lurker
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not really sure yet. He has struggled to get forward in the past 2 games so attacking points have been limited so far.

  18. Jafooli

    Like father, like Son

  19. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years

    Mata's on fire, isn't he?

    Schmeichel making saves in Old Trafford

  21. dvdguy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Schmeichel! Your old man approves that save

  22. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    I feel like the flood gates are going to open any min now

  23. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Maybe we should be loading up on little Spaniards

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Cazorla (c)

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      Sounds like a HR meeting for a Tapas bar

  24. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Mkhi looks so good this season.

  25. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Just started watching and it appears Leicester look to have picked up on Jermaine Jenas' analysis on Motd, that United don't cross it in enough and every attack is through the middle.

  26. BrutalLogiC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Poggers, time to deliver

  27. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Dave save 😎

  28. Stat Sloth
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero for Kane. Direct swap. Good to go?

  29. BrutalLogiC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    when do they usually add the BPs for the 3pm games?

  30. The Royal Robin

    Jones wins a header and a tackle in 10 seconds. Get in on those BAPS man.
