Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Following on from Southampton’s 1-0 defeat of Palace at Selhurst Park, we focus our attentions on five 3pm kick-offs.

Liverpool and Man City both supply two of the top 10 captains for the Gameweek.

Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah are backed by 4% and 2% respectively as the Reds’ welcome to Anfield.

Both have already bagged two sets of double-digits in the opening four Gameweeks and were in the goals in Wednesday’s Champions League draw against Sevilla.

Meanwhile, Sergio Aguero (4%) and Gabriel Jesus (2%) were also in scoring form in midweek as Pep Guardiola’s side breezed past Feyenoord.

The Etihad outfit have racked up nine goals in their last two matches in all competitions and travel to Watford looking for a repeat of last season’s 5-0 win at Vicarage Road.

Elsewhere, Jamie Vardy heads to Huddersfield on the back of three goals in his first four Gameweeks – all scored against Arsenal and Chelsea.

Newcastle’s Joselu and Stoke’s Eric Choupo-Moting boast some strong underlying numbers as they square up at St James’ Park. Over 235,000 drafted in the Cameroon international after he bagged a brace in last Saturday’s home draw with Man United.

The Magpies’ Rob Elliot is once again the most benched player in the Gameweek – despite serving up back-to-back clean sheets, over 853,000 owners have named him as a sub.

West Brom and West Ham clash at the Hawthorns after contrasting results last week.

Hauled off just after the hour-mark in the 2-0 win over Huddersfield, Javier Hernandez was subject to over 230,00 transfers out – only Sadio Mane and Paul Pogba were jettisoned by more managers over the previous week.
