The first of two Sunday afternoon matches gets underway at 2.15pm as West Bromwich Albion welcome Manchester United to The Hawthorns.

Back on the scoresheet in the midweek win over Bournemouth, Romelu Lukaku is the second top captain pick for Gameweek 18, handed the armband by 14.9% of Fantasy Premier League managers.

Jesse Lingard continues in the visitors’ starting XI and remains an overlooked midfield option – priced at 5.9 and owned by just 2%, he’s produced 12 and 15 points in his last two on the road.

Although the arrival of Alan Pardew has instilled some resilience to the Baggies’ backline – they’ve conceded just one goal in three – the midlands outfit remain toothless in attack and have yet to find the net under their new manager.

That lack of cutting edge bodes well for David de Gea’s 43% owners, then, as the Spaniard looks to steer his side to an eleventh clean sheet of the season.

Jose Mourinho also retains Phil Jones on the teamsheet today – nine of their 10 clean sheets have came in the 12 matches that the former Blackburn man has started this season.

    Best way to get a United defender in here? (DDG or Jones):

    Foster
    Alonso | Otamendi | Mee
    Hazard | Salah | Sterling | Richarlison
    Kane | Vardy | Austin

    Elliot | RLC | Ogbonna | Mariappa
