One-stop Kop: Supercoach EPL, everything you need to know Matchweek 20


<p>We&#8217;ve hit the halfway point of the Supercoach EPL season, and the fixtures continue to fly by.</p>



<p>At this stage of the season coaches should have generated plenty of cash, to the point that we&#8217;re sitting genuine gun assets outside are starting line up each week.</p>



<p>The only difficulty in that regard is the growing injury toll that will continue to hit hard.</p>



<p>This will only increase as the season goes deeper, while restings will be more prevalent as a result, so ensure you&#8217;re banking a few trades for the run home as they&#8217;ll be essential late in the season.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>EPL MATCHWEEK 20 PREVIEW</strong></h3>



<p>We have a quick turnaround with matchweek 20 kicking off at <strong><strong>11:30pm AEDT, </strong>Saturday, the 3rd of January</strong>, so make sure you have made your trades and set your team by then.</p>



<p>The game of the week has to be Manchester City v Chelsea, with the visitors to the Etihad sporting a new manager since the shock split between Enzo Maresca and the club.</p>



<p>While enticing for EPL fans, it&#8217;ll prove a tricky way to close out the Supercoach round with a tough fixture for many popular assets.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>KEY AVAILABILITY WATCH</strong></h3>



<p><strong>Declan Rice (ASN)</strong>: Knee swelling, remains in major doubt to face Bournemouth</p>



<p><strong>Riccardo Calafiori (ASN)</strong>: Remains in major doubt with a muscular injury and looks unlikely at this stage</p>



<p><strong>Yankuba Minteh (BRI)</strong>: Cleared of major injury, will need to pass a fitness test to face Burnley</p>



<p><strong>Lewis Hall (NEW): </strong>Likely to be cleared to face Palace</p>



<p><strong>Michael Keane (EVT):</strong> Strong chance to return to face Brentford</p>



<p><strong>Daniel Ballard (SUN):</strong> &#8216;Unlikely&#8217; to feature this week due to an ankle injury</p>



<p><strong>AFCON players</strong>: African players representing their nations at AFCON could be out until 18/01</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>EPL SUPERCOACH BREAKEVENS</strong></h3>



<p>Breakevens are the score required for the player to either make money or lose money.</p>



<p>When looking at who to trade in this week, heavily consider the players with low breakevens, as they will help make your team money.</p>



<p>Similarly, if you have some players with high breakevens in your team, maybe it’s time to consider cutting ties to ensure your team doesn’t lose too much value.</p>
