After Mohamed Salah’s late winner for Liverpool at Selhurst Park, a further six matches get underway at 3pm as the Gameweek 32 action ramps up.

Plenty of attention will be focused on Romelu Lukaku as Man United welcome Swansea to Old Trafford.

The top transfer target for Gameweek 32 and second most popular captain (13.4%), the Red Devils’ frontman has produced eight goals and two assist in his last 11 club outings across all competitions.

At the back, Chris Smalling – the most bought defender over the break – retains his place, with Victor Lindelof surprisingly partnering him at centre-half as Eric Bailly warms the bench.

A popular pair for our Wildcards, Brighton’s Pascal Gross and Leicester wide man Riyad Mahrez go head-to-head at the Amex Stadium.

Gross has averaged 6.2 points per home match for the Seagulls, while the Algerian has returned a goal or assist in 11 of his last 14 league starts.

Elsewhere, Charlie Austin makes a welcome return for Southampton’s trip to West Ham.

With a pair of expected Double Gameweeks to follow, many will be keen to scout the Saints’ striker – despite failing to feature since Gameweek 19, he remains their top scorer, with six efforts to his name.

Three goals from Marko Arnautovic over the international break underlines his goal threat ahead of this proverbial six-pointer.

Meanwhile, Newcastle’s Kenedy has another chance to stake a claim as our budget midfielder of choice ahead of an expected Double Gameweek to follow.

The on-loan wide man bagged 16 points in his previous home outing and entertains Huddersfield’s travel-sick defence at St James’ Park.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Hows Mahrez playing?

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years

      He's playing?

    Bailly rotated instead of Smalling... Interesting

      Jose expecting Utd to win comfortably? Bailly is by far utd's best defender.

      1. Magic Bean
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Far from best defender? Explain

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Should read that again.

          1. Magic Bean
            • 10 Years

            😆 my bad

        2. UshFPL
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          He's the best centre back anyway, by a distance

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It’s not interesting, it’s inevitable that Bailly starts and Jones soon replaces Smalling

    Benched Barnes. 😎

      Against West Brom... Who did you play instead?

  4. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years

    come on someone from my team, score please

  5. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So Lukaku being the 5th youngest to 100 PL goals getting the 26th goal in his debut United season... not too shabby for a flop eh?

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Oh god who called him a flop? Pretty much no one?

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      All good and well scoring lots of goals but pointless if barely any vs top 6

    3. Chirsbom
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I would not call him a flop, rather an underperforming considering the teammates he is playing with. United does not seem to bring out the best of their star players. Just look at Pogba and Sanchez. We all had higher expectations..

  6. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Has Vardy the penalty merchant scored yet?

  7. HNI
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Wow sanchez truly back to his best. Tracking back lost ball like a crazed defender

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Scores a goal against Swansea and back to his best apparently.

      2. UshFPL

        You mean that team that beat Liverpool?

      3. HNI
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Well I dint say anything about scoring. Lukaku handles most of that weightage at Manutd which no one did at arsenal for Sanchez. In case of Sanchez getting that workrate, dribbling and aggression back signifies his best.

          And its the same thorny Swansea side who won against Liv this year. Granted you may consider liverpool as a small team but I think its decent enough to gauge improving form for most

  8. Richd
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Murray close.

  9. Gobigorgohome

    Leicester is playing very poorly..

  10. semiconductor
    • 11 Years

    I'm already having in my current team
    2 Arsenal
    3 Liverpool
    1 Burnely
    1 Man city
    2 Everton

    All playing with good fixtures gw35. My plan was WCing this gw but now I have 9 players from those playing gw35 already. Can bring another 2 city players. What do you think? Should I FH on gw34 instead of BB and save WC and BB for gw36 and gw37?

    Brighton Leicester shouldn’t be a low scoring game, should it?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Woeful so far

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No Brighton should score easily.

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years

      According to predictions, it should

  13. Gobigorgohome

    MURRAY MISSES OPEN GOAL

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
