Gameweek 18 continues at 20:00 GMT with a match between Aston Villa and Sheffield United, both of which have provided Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers with interesting team news.

After being in and out of recent lineups, Matty Cash (£4.7m) and Moussa Diaby (£6.7m) are starting. The pair’s owners will be upbeat, as will the 67% of the top 100k managers who have captained Ollie Watkins (£8.7m), knowing that a 16th consecutive home win will put Villa atop the Premier League.

Douglas Luiz (£5.5m) and Lucas Digne (£4.7m) return from suspension, joining Clement Lenglet (£4.5m) in Unai Emery’s four changes. This is the centre-back’s first league appearance of the season. Boubacar Kamara (£5.0m) is serving his own suspension, making way for the benched Diego Carlos (£4.4m) and injured Pau Torres (£4.7m).

Leon Bailey (£5.6m) will replace Alex Moreno (£5.0m) and hopes to make his fifth consecutive attacking appearance.

Meanwhile, Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has made five changes to his squad. Jack Robinson (£4.4m) has replaced George Baldock (£3.9m), Yasser Larouci (£4.3m), Oliver Norwood (£4.8m), and Anis Slimane (£4.7m).

Gustavo Hamer (£5.0m), Max Lowe (£4.3m), James McAtee (£4.4m), and Oliver McBurnie (£5.4m) are all on the bench, but there is no Anel Ahmedhodzic (£4.3m).

Those forced to start cheap forward Cameron Archer (£4.6m) can still revel in seeing him score against his former club, thereby erasing Villa’s clean sheets.

Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Lenglet, Digne; Bailey, McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Ramsey; Diaby, Watkins; Diaby, Watkins
