Dugout Discussion – Saturday

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.

          • 12 Years

          Yeah fair enough, he's done well. Just thought everyone had two up top with either Firmino or Aguero with Kane

        2. CrouchDown
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah he's been good last few weeks, just thinking back a couple of months ago when he had a run of 2s
