A stalemate at Turf Moor leads us into five afternoon kick-offs with Old Trafford undoubtedly the focus of our attention.

Manchester United host Huddersfield Town with the opportunity to close the gap at the top, as Alexis Sanchez is handed his home debut.

Signed by 56,000 ahead of today’s deadline, the Chilean is captained by 85,000 of his 271,000 owners for the meeting with the Terriers.

The big team news is that both Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial are dropped from Jose Mourinho’s starting line-up. Owned by 911,000 and 297,000 respectively, they were the two most signed United assets ahead of Gameweek 26. Juan Mata is recalled to the XI, while Scott McTominay gets a start.

Elsewhere Callum Wilson goes into his home meeting with Stoke City as the second most signed player having picked up 224,000 new owners. He boasts four goals and two assists from his last six Gameweeks.

Meanwhile, Leicester City – without Riyad Mahrez – face Swansea City at the King Power Stadium and field a very attacking line-up. Claude Puel hands Fousseni Diabaté a Premier League debut, while Kelechi Iheanacho earns a first start since Gameweek 8.

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

          unless youre talking about h2hs the nature of scoring in a gameweek is irrelevant. it is just 4 extra points for 43% people (- whatever your keeper gets)

                It's about ownership. If close to half of the 5.5 million players have a four point advantage I don't really see how that isn't a big deal.

    Just remembered I bought Ulloa yesterday.

    Then realised he's not even playing.

    Do we think he's as good a budget option as any in the future? 4.8 so not that bothered if he doesn't start every week.

    I mentioned it earlier but I was 100% certain I captained Wilson but logged on to see it was Salah (c) Wilson (vc). Looking like a blessing in disguise at the moment but I'll got have gotten extremely jammy if I've walked into a Salah haul. I had 100% decided on Wilson but must not have hit confirm.

    PS - Lingard is on borrowed time
