Paul Pogba (£7.8m) returns to the Manchester United line-up as the Red Devils travel to Cardiff City on Saturday evening.

The Frenchman has been absent for the last three Premier League Gameweeks under Jose Mourinho, but new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has shown faith in him.

There are also starts for Marcus Rashford (£7.0m) and Anthony Martial (£7.3m) with Jesse Lingard (£6.7m) joining them in thr forward line.

Meanwhile, Solskjaer has gone with Luke Shaw (£4.9m), Phil Jones (£5.1m), Victor Lindelöf (£4.8m) and Ashley Young (£5.7m) for his back-four.

Neil Warnock made no surprise selections for Cardiff as Callum Paterson (£5.3m) continues to lead the line, with Victor Camarasa (£4.6m) operating just behind him, Josh Murphy (£4.8m) and Junior Hoilett (£5.0m) on the wings.

Cardiff City XI: Etheridge; Cunningham, Bamba, Morrison, Ecuele Manga; Arter, Gunnarsson; Murphy, Camarasa, Hoilett; Paterson.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Jones, Lindelof, Young; Herrera, Matic, Pogba; Martial, Rashford, Lingard.

    Aguero (x) Aubameyang (haul) Hazard (x) Kane (tbc) Salah (haul) and Sterling (x). Only Kane is left to break the record of more than two big hitters delivering big score in a gameweek this season so far ... interesting!

    Everton-Tottenham 3-3 Richa 17' 38' 87' ; Kane 9' 56' 69'

    Thoughts on Laporte/Fraser/Wilson to:

    A) VVD/Richarlison/Ings
    B) Digne/Richarlison/Jiminez

  5. Yank Revolution

    Balbuena yellow flagged now

  6. Captain Warlock
    • 9 Years

    First Captain fail of the season C on Sterling wots the odds

    Bottomed, but I think it's important.

    A friendly reminder to show patience where in-form premium options are concerned:

    GW14: Aubameyang and Sterling 25 points; Hazard, Kane and Salah totalled 15 points.
    GW15: Kane 12 points; Hazard, Aubamayang, Sterling and Salah totalled 11 points.
    GW16: Salah 21 points; Aubameyang, Hazard, Sterling and Kane totalled 17 points.
    GW17: Hazard 13 points; Salah, Aubameyang, Sterling and Kane totalled 15 points.
    GW18 (so far): Aubameyang and Salah 25 points; Hazard and Sterling 4 points. Kane still to play.

    The moral of the story? If your premium had a bad week… maybe wait before you knee-jerk.

      Preaching to a brick wall mate. Everyone has to dump city defense NOW as well. Then complain when they start keeping a few clean sheets again

    Typical. Cup opponent took a -24 last week and rolled the transfer this week. Advantage, that guy.
