Dugout Discussion – Stoke vs Man United

Saturday’s events conclude at the bet365 as Manchester United bid to reclaim the Premier League top spot with a victory at Stoke City.

Jose Mourinho’s side are awash with major Fantasy talent as Romelu Lukuku heads into the match as the top captain pick for a fourth successive Gameweek.

Over 179,000 (37%) back the Belgian with the armband who is under pressure to deliver after goals from the next three most popular picks – Harry Kane, Alexandre Lacazette and Alvaro Morata – earlier in the day.

Paul Pogba also boasts a swell of support. Owned by 1.8 million (37.5%), he wears the armband for over 203,000 managers this evening.

Meanwhile, Henrikh Mkhitaryan goes into the game as the most signed midfielder ahead of Gameweek 4, having claimed another 236,000 owners.

With Ander Herrera recalled to the Man Utd starting XI, it could be that Pogba is shifted up behind Lukaku this evening, with Mkhitaryan starting wide on the right.

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

    Lukaku looking isolated, also looks jaded, possible late night out.

    Foster, Cedric, Salah, Firmino and Alli, 9 points. Today has not gone well. Just one of them weeks I guess. Triple Utd needs to go well or bye bye LMS!

    Mane to Eriksen if I already have Alli and Kane? I don't have too much issue tripling up on spurs, but I'm more wondering whether it will be worth getting a defender from spurs instead.

      Good. I hate Monaco.

      One time they beat my coupon as last team after 3-0 lead and lost 4-3 another time 3-0 lead finished 3-3. To Ajaccio and Bastia I think.

      Never bet on them since. Hate them. And Andy Roddick. He cost me £500 once. I hold a grudge forever
