The Boxing Day programme continues in earnest with another six afternoon matches.

Stamford Bridge is likely to be the venue under the microscope for Fantasy managers, as Chelsea play host to Brighton.

The Blues boast two of the top captain selections for Gameweek 20 in Alvaro Morata – backed by 188,000 (3.4%) and Eden Hazard, who has the support of 133,000 (2.4%). Marcos Alonso will also go into this encounter with 93,000+ new owners and in 19.5% of squads, although Chelsea’s most popular signing heading into today’s deadline – Andreas Christensen brought in by 95,000+ – misses out through illness according to the club.

Another of the Gameweek’s big signings – Huddersfield Town’s Laurent Depoitre – also sits out as he makes way for Steve Mounie’s return in attack. The Belgian was signed by 200,000+ ahead of the clash with Stoke City but starts the match on the bench.

At Old Trafford, Zlatan Ibrahimovic starts his first Premier League match of the campaign as Jesse Lingard makes way. Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku – backed by 43,000+ and 752,000+ Gameweek captaincies – are both named in Jose Mourinho’s line-up, as is Phil Jones in defence.

Meanwhile, at Vicarage Road, Richarlison looks likely to be leading the Watford attack against Leicester City. Sold by 90,000+ ahead of Gameweek 20, the Brazilian is in the starting line-up while Andre Gray drops to the bench and Troy Deeney continues his suspension. Marvin Zeegelaar returns for the Hornets at left-back as Jose Holebas drops out.

Finally, Everton take on West Brom at The Hawthorns without Wayne Rooney in the starting XI once again. The veteran striker misses out through illness, with Yannick Bolasie – a 6.4 midfield option – earning a first start of the season.

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

      £4.5m Huddersfield striker. Usually a 3rd sub, but with a week like this he will come off the bench for many.
