Last week before another International break 🙁
Our Gameweek 12 kicks off tonight with Everton hosting Coventry, with David Moyes’ side favourites. Coventry may be without Bobby Thomas and Frank Onyeka, who are both 50-50.
Saturday begins at Elland Road, where Leeds host Tottenham with with Okafor and Stach both doubts, while Spurs have a long list of absentees including Mudryk, Simons and Odobert. Arsenal then host Hull in the afternoon without Saka, Dowman is suspended, and Konsa is a doubt, though the Gunners are very heavy favourites against a Hull side who’ve drawn six of their last ten. Will Saliba return? Fulham take on Newcastle, and the evening game sees Nottingham Forest host a Manchester City side who are without Semenyo and licking their wounds after last weekend’s surprise loss to Brighton.
Sunday has four 2pm kick-offs. Crystal Palace host a Liverpool side in need of a reaction, having lost 1-0 at Arsenal last weekend and 3-2 to Fenerbahçe in midweek, with Gravenberch out with a heel problem and go Ekitike still sidelined. Brighton welcome Brentford, Ipswich host Bournemouth, and Chelsea travel to Sunderland without Pedro, James and Martínez, though Palmer is back. The weekend finishes with Manchester United against Aston Villa at 4:30pm, a game with plenty of absentees on both sides. United are without the suspended Martínez, Shaw and Sesko, with Rashford a possible return, while Villa are without the suspended Cash. Villa’s Nicolas Jackson, meanwhile, has scored seven goals in eight games, so Carrick’s side will have their work cut out.

League Forfeits
Time to confess your forfeits! On our podcast, #inadifferentleague, Jessy’s brother had to endure 24 hours in a McDonald’s. A full day. Surrounded by the smell of fries. He never wants to hear the words “would you like fries with that?” ever again.

So now we want to hear yours. What awful fate awaits the loser of your league this season, and is it worse than last year’s? The more cruel and unusual, the better. Get in touch at managers support, or drop us a tweet, or message on FB.
