Gameweek 21 is upon us with six afternoon kick-offs getting things underway.

Fantasy managers will be fixated on Stamford Bridge and Anfield in particular, with Liverpool and Chelsea backed for big victories and points aplenty.

Mohamed Salah is the most-captained player for the Gameweek and starts against Leicester City having produced a goal or an assist in 11 of his previous 12 Gameweeks.

He sits alongside Roberto Firmino in a Liverpool front three, with the Brazilian having produced three successive double-figure returns. Meanwhile, Philippe Coutinho also starts in a powerful Liverpool line-up. He’s supplied four goals and five assists from his last five Gameweek starts.

But Leicester could provide a stubborn barrier at Anfield, which is perhaps not the case at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea’s opponents Stoke apparently conceding the match from kick-off.

Cursed by injuries at the back and with Kurt Zouma ineligible to face his parent club, Mark Hughes makes the decision to keep key players in reserve.

Antonio Conte has also made changes, resting his own star man – Eden Hazard. The Blues boss brings in Pedro and Willian to flank Alvaro Morata, while Andreas Christensen returns from illness but only makes the bench.

Elsewhere, Richarlison will bid to revive his Fantasy stock after failing to find the net in eight Gameweeks. He faces bottom club Swansea City at Vicarage Road with just three assists to his name over that dry spell.

Clean sheets will be the order of the day across the remaining matches, with Everton, Burnley and Brighton all popular sources of budget defensive signings.

However, with squads stretched, there will doubtless some managers relying on points from Huddersfield strikers Laurent Depoitre and Colin Quaner when they take on the Clarets.

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

        Morata's first half has provided 2 fluffed shots and an offside or 2.
