RT @5liveSport: "Defensive contributions are going to break the game!" 🛡️⚽️

@alibruceball & @chris_sutton73 are not having it when it comes the DEFCON approach in #FPL 😅

No player has played more minutes for Real Madrid this season than Álvaro Carreras (450).

Manchester United ALWAYS develop better players than they buy as seniors. They should remember that... 🌟

95% pass accuracy
62% ground duels won
69 total touches
10 passes into the final third

An outstanding performance against PL opposition. 🔝

Manchester United haven’t lost a Premier League game at Old Trafford to Chelsea since 2013.

Hopefully that’s still true by Saturday night... 🤞

Anton Stach is the only player in the Premier League to register 10+ shots & 10+ key passes this season. He has played in central midfield.

Could be a bargain to be had if Leeds go down... 💰

No player has been directly involved in more Premier League goals this season than Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo (5).

3 goals & 2 assists in 360 minutes — a goal or assist every 72 minutes on average. 🔥

SIR MARCUS OF RASHFORD.

Unplayable tonight. 🫡

Marcus Rashford has scored more goals against Premier League teams this season as Manchester United’s current squad altogether (2).

Just a reminder that he plays in Spain... 🤯

Marcus Rashford has now scored as many Champions League goals as Ronaldo (14) and more than Carlos Tevez (13), Dimitar Berbatov (13) and Lukas Podolski (13).

PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME. 🤫

⚽️ vs. Serbia
🅰️ vs. Valencia
⚽️⚽️ vs. Newcastle

Marcus Rashford has been directly involved in 4 goals in his last 3 outings for club and country.

Great to see him firing on the big stage! 🤩

How Ruben Amorim can FIX his 3-4-3...

Despite the fact that he has played just 210 minutes, no Manchester United player has had more shots on target than Matheus Cunha (5) in the Premier League this season.

Great to have him back. 👏

Xavi Simons has been directly involved in 8 goals in his last 10 league matches across the Bundesliga & the Premier League — scoring 4 and assisting 4.

A really exciting addition to the PL. 🌟

Bruno Fernandes will make his 200th Premier League appearance tomorrow. He has 51 assists so far, only David Beckham (62) had more PL assists by 200 games for Manchester United.

In elite company. 🤝
