Hello hello.

Manchester City have just wrapped up a comfortable 2-0 win at Craven Cottage to return to the top of the Premier League table, but it's at the bottom where this afternoon's big news could come.

Huddersfield will be relegated with wins for Burnley and Southampton should they lose to Crystal Palace.

Jan Siewert looks confident, though.

Solskajer has opted for a midfield diamond and a speedy striking duo of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford this afternoon.

Watford are in town, Javi Gracia's side firmly in the mix for seventh place and seeking a first ever league win at Old Trafford.
