<h2>FPL Gameweek 21: The fixtures</h2>
<p>Manchester United top the Hub's fixture <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">ticker</a> this week for their home game against Southampton.</p>
<p>Saints lost 0-5 at home in Gameweek 20 - and although their defensive data is better on the road, they have still conceded an average of two away goals per game.</p>
<p>Ruben Amorim's United are struggling for consistency but their 2-2 draw at Liverpool should have boosted their confidence. Owners of their fantasy players will be hoping for hauls.</p>
<p>United's fixture is one of four green-rated fixtures this week, with Newcastle's home meeting with Wolves in second.</p>
<p>Only Liverpool have a better expected (xG) and actual goals per game record than Newcastle over the last six gameweeks. The Magpies have averaged nearly three goals per game (2.83).</p>
<p>Leicester's home clash against Crystal Palace ranks third, while West Ham's home match against Fulham completes the week's best fixtures.</p>

<h2>FPL Gameweek 21 best players: Predicted points</h2>
<p><strong>Mohamed Salah </strong>was backed by a massive 97% of the top 250,000 managers last week, highlighting his league-leading form.</p>
<p>But the captaincy debate could be much wider this week, with Salah and Liverpool travelling to Nottingham Forest, who have kept more clean sheets than any other team.</p>
<p>Salah is relegated to third place in the Hub AI <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">predicted points</a> chart this week.</p>
<p><strong>Cole Palmer </strong>leads the way as Chelsea host Bournemouth, with <strong>Alexander Isak </strong>in second.</p>
<p>All three players are closely matched however, with Palmer and Salah separated by a mere 0.4 predicted points.</p>
<p><strong>Erling Haaland </strong>and <strong>Bruno Fernandes </strong>complete the top five.</p>
