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.

      LOL. You were saying Butland No.1 earlier in the season. Have been saying for months that Butland is overrated. People let him off because of his injuries, but Lee Grant would do a better job in the Stoke goal.

        Anybody is better than Hart anyway.. I can stand the sight of Hart in goal.
        I said Adrian is better than Hart btw.

    After review, the assist for Burnley’s goal is awarded to Kevin Long as he gets the final touch before Barnes converts

      He is out of the false 9 role now with Morata back. I wouldn’t be so quick to make way.

      Resets in new year. Spurs don’t play until 2018. Man Utd do.

  24. Ravager

    I'm starting to think Vardy ups his game for big sides and sleeps through the rest. His concentration isn't the same in 'easier' matches.

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years

      Would be the perfect partner for Lukaku at Man U

      1. Ravager

        It's true. Balance

    Really I thought I could trust DDG, Jones double up for West Brom, Leicester, Burnley. Sigh....

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years

      They haven't been defending well lately

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sorry my bad.. since I bought Jones, no CS.
      but happy since every1 in my ML doubled up.
