That is not the case this week, but there isn't much time between the end of GW20 and the beginning of GW21 with the deadline coming up on Saturday morning at 11am, an hour and a half before Everton and Newcastle United get the next round of fixtures going.
Fantasy thoughts will be below, but for us Manchester United fans GW20 proved to be something of a reality check after the 1-2 home defeat to Sheffield United.
It is a hugely disappointing result and one that has handed the title initiative back to Manchester City, but this could be the kind of setback that sparks another positive run.
There are two ways for this to go- either Manchester United will show there is a genuine belief they can go on and win some big prizes this year, and that means winning at Arsenal on Saturday and riding the momentum through Southampton and Everton, but the other is that United suffer another couple of poor results and slip away from Manchester City before their rivals face a tough portion of their schedule.
At this stage it is hard to know the direction United will go, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have noted that he can't rely on the squad and it may mean having to play stronger teams than he would like every few days during this busy part of the season.
For me United really missed Luke Shaw on Wednesday, while the likes of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford have run out of chances- I expect one to play every week, but both can't be selected while Mason Greenwood offers a better balance on the right side of the attack and Edinson Cavani is clearly the best Number 9 at the club.
I don't doubt it is hard for players to go without rest, but that is where Manchester United have to prioritise the Premier League over the Cup competitions which are scheduled to be played in February.
Going forward I would like to see a team like this one in most games: David De Gea, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Eric Bailly, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Paul Pogba, Fred, Bruno Fernandes, Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani.
You can rotate Victor Lindelof with Bailly, Scott McTominay with Fred, and Anthony Martial with Rashford to bring in some fresh legs, but that would be my starting eleven for most Premier League games.
In the FA Cup and the Europa League you can make more changes with Dean Henderson, Alex Telles, Axel Tuanzebe, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata, Daniel James and Amad Diallo being given more chances. I would certainly look for the squad to work their way past West Ham United and Real Sociedad while making sure Manchester United remain strong in the Premier League, although the change in priority could occur if a poor run does extend through the next couple of weeks in light of the defeat to Sheffield United.
Saturday is a big test for Manchester United from the manager down to the players and will tell us a lot about where they currently stand in their belief and confidence.
Everton v Newcastle United Pick: The opening game of the Premier League weekend sees Everton and Newcastle United both looking to return to winning ways after setbacks during the week. Both teams may feel they should have gotten more from their latest fixtures, but confidence is clearly with the home team ahead of kick off.
Everton have been playing well under Carlo Ancelotti which has seen them pushing up the Premier League standings as well as progressing in the FA Cup. They could have easily stolen three points against in-form Leicester City during the week, but the draw is not the worst result in the world and Everton have tended to beat those teams they should, especially at home.
This season there have been defeats to teams like West Ham United, Manchester United and Leeds United at Goodison Park, but only one of those are currently below Everton in the table. Everton have managed to beat the other four clubs they have faced who are below them in the Premier League table including wins over two of the current bottom five.
Now they host a Newcastle United team who have lost 5 Premier League games in a row overall as well as their last 5 away League games. Steve Bruce is under pressure from the fans, but the empty stands means there have not been a massive visible movement to have the manager removed and so far he retains the support of Mike Ashley.
The manager was encouraged by what he saw in the 1-2 defeat to Leeds United during the week and Newcastle United look to be getting healthier. They created some really good moments in the loss to Leeds United, but Everton are unlikely to be as open and I think this is a team who will be able to create chances against Newcastle United.
The Newcastle United defensive numbers are not very encouraging and they have been conceding a lot of goals. I expect James Rodriguez, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin to expose those defensive problems and I think Everton will most likely win a fixture which features at least two total goals shared out.
Crystal Palace v Wolves Pick: I didn't think there would be a lot of goals when Crystal Palace and West Ham United met here during the week, but an early one for the home team really changed the complexion of the fixture.
Roy Hodgson's men scored twice in the eventual 2-3 defeat to their London rivals, but Crystal Palace did not create a lot of chances and that remains a big problem for them. In recent weeks that has blighted Crystal Palace who have been reliant on special moments from some of their more creative attacking players to break through and I think that is something that can't be sustained.
The expected goals have underlined the struggles in the final third and they may find it difficult to break down Wolves if the visitors are as strong as they were at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening. While still looking toothless for the most part going the other way, Wolves restricted Chelsea to very few chances despite the huge possession in favour of the hosts.
That result makes it back to back away clean sheets for Wolves who have been struggling in the Premier League ever since Raul Jimenez suffered a terrible injury.
It does have to be said that Wolves have looked a little more dangerous than Crystal Palace, but they could have a difficult day in the final third. While Crystal Palace have not been as consistent at the back as Roy Hodgson would have liked, in recent games they have had some big defensive performances around some of the weaker ones demonstrated.
You can't really tell which Crystal Palace team will turn up, but they have failed to score in both previous games against Wolves this season. Those results mean 5 of the 6 fixtures between these clubs have ended with one of the teams failing to score since Wolves returned to the top flight.
The exception was the 1-1 draw here last season, but Wolves needed an injury time goal to salvage that point and I am looking for this fixture to be much tighter than the Crystal Palace game played here during the week.
An early goal could open up the fixture again, but I think one of these teams will fail to find the net when two sides struggling for attacking consistency go up against relatively decent defences.
Manchester City v Sheffield United Pick: The layers look to have finally understood how well Manchester City have been performing defensively which means that the market for the home team to win with a clean sheet has been priced up significantly shorter than in other games in recent weeks.
Some of that may be down to the struggles of Sheffield United, but Pep Guardiola will be reminding his players to not take this opponent for granted.
The Sheffield United win at Old Trafford on Wednesday will really aid Manchester City here and prevent complacency setting in as they look to take control of the Premier League. There is a big League game coming up at Anfield, but Pep Guardiola will be demanding Manchester City go into it with two more Premier League wins and they should have far too much for Sheffield United on recent form.
Chris Wilder has to be given credit for picking strong teams in the Sheffield United FA Cup ties as he believed that would help turn the Premier League form. Since the Third Round win at Bristol Rovers, The Blades have won 2 of their 3 Premier League games played and Sheffield United might have given themselves a real chance of avoiding the drop.
The form in the first half of the season has left Sheffield United behind the black ball as they look to avoid relegation, but the win at Old Trafford will have given them a huge sense of belief. It also means they can't really afford to overlook any fixture in favour of another, but Sheffield United put in a huge effort to beat Manchester United and it wouldn't be a big surprise if they are already considering how to handle their next game.
On Tuesday Sheffield United host fellow relegation candidates West Brom and that is easily more important than this fixture. It is imperative that Sheffield United win that next game and so I can see the team being set up to make life difficult for Manchester City, but one that perhaps will be selected with the next League game in mind.
Manchester City are in ruthless form at the moment and they have won 11 games in a row so it is no surprise they are big favourites to tick that forward at least one more game. They have not always put teams to the sword, but Manchester City's win over West Brom on Tuesday shows what they can do when at their best and I think they are playing with real momentum.
Another clean sheet won't be a surprise, but this is still a difficult handicap to cover. Manchester City would only have covered this mark in 5 of their 15 home games in all competitions this season and the likes of Fulham, Newcastle United and Brighton have been beaten by two or fewer goals here.
It also has to be said that The Blades have rarely been beaten easily this season as the hard work keeps them competitive, and that is going to be key for them here. Once again the best approach may be backing Manchester City to win this one with a clean sheet even though the layers are getting on top of that market, but this may be the best avenue to go because Sheffield United might be looking to set up deep and just try to limit the damage on the day.
All 3 Manchester City wins over Sheffield United in the last eighteen months have come with clean sheets and I think that is the most likely outcome of this game too.
West Brom v Fulham Pick: Sam Allardyce may well feel his greatest achievement in his managerial career will be keeping West Brom in the Premier League, but another heavy home defeat will not have helped the confidence of the players.
The expert at keeping teams in the Premier League will be really disappointed by the results he has overseen at The Hawthorns as West Brom became the first team in over forty years who have conceded at least three times in five consecutive home top flight games.
Some of the defeats can be forgiven with Aston Villa, Arsenal and Manchester City all winning here, but the heavy loss to Leeds United will have hurt. The other defeat to Crystal Palace will also be hard for the West Brom players to explain and Sam Allardyce has admitted there seems to be some worry about playing here even without the fans in attendance.
West Brom have had some decent results away from home, but Allardyce won't be looking for excuses on Saturday in what is a vital relegation six pointer against 18th placed Fulham.
Scott Parker's team battled to a goalless draw with Brighton during the week, but the manager will know Fulham need to start putting some wins on the board if they have serious ambitions of avoiding the drop. The point is not a bad one at Brighton, but Fulham were very fortunate and it makes it hard to see them as a favourite to win away from home.
Fulham have looked a little stronger over the last couple of months, but they have struggled for the balance between attack and defence. I think Scott Parker would likely take a point, but this is a tough game for his team considering their recent performances.
That isn't saying that West Brom are in very strong form, but I do think this is the kind of match that Allardyce would have targeted for a victory. I think he will be drilling that into his players and his history suggests he will get a reaction, while West Brom are unlikely to be punished in the same way Arsenal and Manchester City have done at The Hawthorns.
The first goal will be absolutely massive on Saturday, but West Brom do look capable of avoiding a defeat as the home underdog.
Arsenal v Manchester United Pick: There is little doubt that a lot of Manchester United fans will have been getting excited not only by the recent results earned by the club, but also the position in the Premier League table.
Being top for the first time after New Year's Day since May 2013 when Sir Alex Ferguson was still in charge is exciting, but we will see how genuine a title contender Manchester United are over the next week.
Losing to Sheffield United at Old Trafford is a huge blow, but Manchester United were going to have a setback at some point and the key is how they respond to that defeat. A loss to the bottom club will be hard to swallow, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will want to see his team dust themselves off ahead of what is a crucial part of the season.
Manchester United could spiral, especially with tough fixtures ahead of them, but playing at the Emirates Stadium may also inspire and motivate the players who have not suffered an away League defeat for over twelve months.
This has been a tough place for Manchester United to play in recent times and they have lost 4 of their last 5 at Arsenal in the Premier League. 3 of the last 4 have ended up in comfortable 2-0 wins for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta's team still believe they can challenge for a Champions League spot having picked up their own recent form.
Inconsistency hasn't been erased completely and Arsenal have struggled to always impose themselves on opponents at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners have won 2 of their last 3 League games here against Chelsea and Newcastle United, but between that they could only draw with Crystal Palace and were perhaps fortunate to earn that point.
Arsenal have looked a little better defensively of late, but that will be tested by Manchester United who have looked good away from Old Trafford. There is naturally more space for Manchester United to exploit and I think they can be very dangerous, while defensively I expect a much better performance with Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof or Eric Bailly back to partner Harry Maguire.
My expectation is that Manchester United will pick a team that is not as open as the one that faced Sheffield United and it has been a selection that makes them harder to beat. Liverpool found that out in the goalless draw at Anfield against Manchester United earlier this month, but the visitors created some big chances in that fixture too which is why I believe Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will approach this game the same way.
The results have been improved, but Arsenal have still looked a little unsure of themselves when getting forward and Manchester United will erode the confidence of their hosts as long as they don't give anything away. Defensively there have been improvements, but Manchester United should be able to create something here and I think the first goal will be crucial.
Games between Arsenal and Manchester United have been tight and competitive in recent seasons, and the last 4 League games have ended with fewer than three goals shared out. I think that will be the case on Saturday with both managers likely to set their teams up to not give too much away early, but there may be one or two chances to win the game in the second half and I think the layers are underestimating the likelihood of goals being at a premium on Saturday afternoon in wet, and potentially windy, conditions in North London.
Southampton v Aston Villa Pick: Two of the 'trendier' teams for the neutrals to get behind meet in the late kick off on Saturday in the Premier League and I do think Southampton and Aston Villa can provide some real entertainment for the fans.
When they met earlier this season at Villa Park the fixture ended 3-4 in favour of Southampton, although Aston Villa will feel they deserved a bit more than they ended up getting.
Now they will be looking for revenge as Aston Villa continue to create chances and play with a very positive attitude and nothing is expected to change here. They will know their hosts are having a few issues at the back and Aston Villa have played a refreshing brand of football which has them chasing European Football.
Southampton are also looking to earn a spot back in Europe and they will feel they could have gotten more out of the 1-3 defeat to Arsenal during the week. They are short of the numbers they would have liked to go in with, but Southampton continue to try and play attacking football and they will believe they can challenge an Aston Villa team who have been conceding plenty of chances and goals away from home.
Another high-scoring game between these two could be the outcome if there is an early strike to get things going, although picking a winner is not easy at all.
Chelsea v Burnley Pick: A new manager might have been in the dugout, but Chelsea did not have the kind of response some may have expected in the goalless draw with Wolves at Stamford Bridge during the week. They dominated the possession, but Chelsea did not create as many chances as Thomas Tuchel may privately have liked, although outwardly he was pretty happy with what he had seen.
More training sessions may mean a different look to the team that takes to the field on Sunday, but Tuchel is a manager who will be demanding more from his players.
They will need more if they are going to be a Burnley team who have won 3 in a row in all competitions and in their last away Premier League game became the first team to win at Anfield since April 2017. Burnley defended really well that day, although they largely rode their luck and had Nick Pope to thank for the 3-2 win over Aston Villa at Turf Moor in their last League game.
Aston Villa created a lot of chances in that game, but I am not sure we can expect Chelsea to show any more composure in the final third as they rebuild their own confidence. It will mean they have to take risks and Burnley will believe they can cause some panic in the home ranks the longer they can stay in the game.
Much will depend if Burnley can show a bit more toughness in their defending- what I mean by that is that in recent games Burnley have struggled to keep teams from creating big chances and I do think it is a problem for Burnley even if they are once again finding big results.
The last couple of times they have faced Chelsea it has been one way traffic against Burnley as they have been punished by the quality that The Blues can call upon.
This will be important for Chelsea- they have to get off to a faster start than they did against Wolves who became comfortable defending, but I expect Thomas Tuchel to have worked on that. I expect the home team to dominate the ball, but they have players who should be able to create enough in the final third to expose Nick Pope as others have and I think Chelsea will find a way to win this game.
In recent times Chelsea have begun to get the better of Burnley and they can extend their run of wins by two goals or more against this opponent to 4 games.
Leicester City v Leeds United Pick: The second game in the Premier League on Sunday has all the makings of a really good watch for the neutrals and that is largely down to the fact that Leeds United will always come out to play their football.
Some will criticise Marcelo Bielsa for that as it leaves his team very open and susceptible to the counter attack and that may especially be the case in this fixture against one of the best at attacking in transition in the League.
The absence of Jamie Vardy is a blow for Leicester City, but they still have pace and quality in the final third and the performance at Everton was more encouraging than the result. Brendan Rodgers has stated that his team have been able to cope in previous Vardy absences and I do think this is a good match for Leicester City who will likely be able to exploit key spaces that Leeds United will leave behind.
For the main part Leicester City have defended really well and in recent weeks that has especially been the case. While it is not easy to defend against this Leeds United team who come forward in numbers, Leicester City won't be worried about bringing them towards the backline and then springing with attacking intent.
That tactical approach saw Leicester City crush Leeds United at Elland Road earlier this season.
And the Leeds United approach has seen them vulnerable when facing some of the better teams in the Premier League, especially away from home. While they have played their part in those fixtures, Leeds United have conceded at least three goals at Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur this season, while Leicester City scored four times at Elland Road.
It would not be a major surprise if Leeds United scored here, but I think they are going to be very vulnerable to the Leicester City counter. Jamie Vardy is missing, but Leicester City have created a lot of chances in their last 2 home Premier League games and I do think they still have enough to win this game in what could be a relatively high-scoring one this weekend.
West Ham United v Liverpool Pick: Two of the top five meet on Sunday afternoon at the London Stadium when West Ham United host Liverpool and this is a very important game for both teams.
David Moyes has had a couple of days more than Jurgen Klopp to prepare his team and West Ham United have been in fine form. The team are creating chances, while they are defending really well too and Moyes has got the players believing and overachieving so far this season.
Finishing in the Champions League spots will be difficult, but any return to European Football would be a bonus for West Ham United. In a strange season where results have been a little wonky, David Moyes will feel there is an opportunity for West Ham United, although he will also know how important it is to take things game by game.
All credit has to be given to West Ham United for their 6 game winning run, but a couple of those wins came against lower League opposition in the FA Cup. Since the win over Everton, The Hammers have beaten three Premier League clubs who are sitting in 14th place or lower and they were beaten 1-3 by Manchester United at the London Stadium earlier this season.
If the match had been played a week ago West Ham United might have felt like Liverpool were there for the taking, but the Champions have not played badly in their last 2 away games. The defeat at Old Trafford would have hurt, but Liverpool dominated Tottenham Hotspur and fully deserved their win in North London, while they should have won at Newcastle United and Southampton on the strength of the chances created.
Liverpool have a very strong record at West Ham United in recent years and that also has to be respected, but they have yet to show the consistency away from home that the manager would have demanded. This team is missing key players in central defence which looks like leaving Liverpool vulnerable to this West Ham United team, although I do think the visitors will cause problems of their own.
The away record overall has to be a concern for Liverpool who look short here, especially if West Ham United defend as well as they have been in recent games. This will be a challenge for The Hammers and really give us a good idea of how far they can go this season, but I would be surprised if Liverpool were able to win comfortably considering the form of both clubs.
They may edge it, but I think West Ham United will push Liverpool all the way as they did at Anfield earlier this season and it should be a really competitive game.
Brighton v Tottenham Hotspur Pick: Both Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur will be disappointed with home results in the Premier League during the week.
Brighton drew with Fulham in a game they dominated, but it has been a trend for them this season. No one should doubt the amount of chances Brighton can create, but they are lacking composure in the final third to convert those which would have them operating much higher up the Premier League table.
Their visitors were beaten by Liverpool on Thursday and Tottenham Hotspur also look set to lose Harry Kane for a few matches. That is a real blow for Jose Mourinho's team who did not defend well and were punished for mistakes at the back, although Liverpool also created some very strong moments against them.
All in all Brighton have to be encouraged about their chances in this one and they did beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 here last season. Graham Potter won't change his style which does leave Brighton open against some of the best teams in the Premier League, but the manager believes it does give Brighton a chance to upset those teams if at their best.
We haven't seen that too often, but Brighton have rarely rolled over for the top teams in the Premier League. They will certainly believe they have nothing to lose if they can get after a Tottenham Hotspur team who have allowed teams to create some significant moments against them in recent weeks.
Defensively there are questions and some will believe there are problems in attack now that Harry Kane is set to miss some time. The striker has been a huge key to the way Tottenham Hotspur have approached games, but Tottenham Hotspur should be able to employ counter attacking tactics in this one with the knowledge that Brighton will look to get forward in numbers to hurt them.
I think there is a real chance Brighton could earn the upset if they are clinical in the final third and games against the top teams have been pretty high scoring over the last eighteen months. That is down to their own defensive shortcomings which tend to be exploited by the better teams in the Division and I do think the layers are underestimating the chance of seeing at least three goals here.
4 of the last 5 between Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur have ended that way and recent games at the Amex Stadium have seen some big chances being created at both ends of the field.
A 1-1 scoreline could scupper things, but I expect at least one more goal to be shared out when Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur meet in the final Premier League game of the weekend.

I made the decision to keep Marcus Rashford in GW20 and it turned out to be the right decision in terms of he wasn't going to be missing through injury- other than that the less said the better.
The transfer to bring in Ilkay Gundogan might have been one that many decided on, but everyone was rewarded when the Manchester City midfielder scored twice. He did miss out on a couple of extra points having been withdrawn before the 60th minute mark, but that almost certainly suggests Gundogan will start on Saturday in what looks like another potentially high-scoring return for Manchester City when they face Sheffield United at the Etihad Stadium.
63 points feels like a decent return, but I am writing this before the Tottenham Hotspur versus Liverpool game and that could be one that damages the overall ranking which is approaching the top 300k.
So where am I at this week? Sergio Reguilon has got to go and I do feel there are some options available to me.
I love the new positioning of Lucas Digne in the Everton team, while you can't ignore the obvious set piece potential he brings. Everton have some decent fixtures coming up and what I feel is going to be a DGW as their fixture is likely going to be played against Manchester City sooner rather than later.
He is appealing, but I am also keen on Antonio Rudiger with Chelsea's fixture list and the feeling he has already overtaken Kurt Zouma as the foremost partner for Thiago Silva. I do think that will be strengthened by the arrival of Rudiger's compatriot as manager of the club and Thomas Tuchel was previously considered keen to bring him to Paris Saint-Germain while in charge in the French capital.
Matt Targett is proving to be valuable for Aston Villa as another defender capable of bringing in attacking returns and they look to be the focus of my interest for that position.
I am a little irritated with the injury to Reguilon as he was likely going to play most weeks through to the end of February, but now I have to make a change. It has prevented me attacking the transfers in the manner I would have wished, as the Kevin De Bruyne injury also did, although I am considering a hit this week having avoided one last week.
Tomas Soucek and myself are not seeing eye to eye despite him largely being a feature in my squad from day one this season- after blanking in his DGW I decided to bench him in GW20 and was duly punished in the worst way meaning I have missed out on two of his hauls this season.
That is pointless from the cheap midfield option and I am looking at Leicester City assets to come in with Leeds United and Fulham next up for them. The injury to Jamie Vardy is a blow, but the fixtures look more appealing than West Ham United's and add to that the fact that Leicester City could soon be involved in a DGW and it makes a lot of sense.
It would mean bringing in Michail Antonio at some point because the West Ham fixtures do improve next week, but in a strange season I feel like I have had to take more hits than I would have liked and have not been able to roll transfers through as I would have liked.
The fixture list over the next month was updated on Friday and that included placing the FA Cup Fifth Round ties in their slots- I am surprised that there hasn't been more of an effort to actually re-arrange the seven games that have definitely needed to be moved from their original slots, especially as two of those involve Manchester City.
With full involvement in all four competitions they began the season with, Manchester City don't have a lot of room in the calendar to avoid having to play three times in six days and so I am surprised the Premier League have not made plans. Perhaps they are waiting for the FA Cup ties to be completed next week before GW24, but is the one where I think their game either at Everton or hosting Southampton should be played.
Both of those teams are playing on Sunday in GW24 so the fixture with Manchester City is most likely to be played around 5:30/6pm on Wednesday regardless of whether it is Everton or Southampton. For us Fantasy players it is irritating as we might not be able to prepare for the upcoming DGW as we normally would, but it is that kind of season after all.
I am also surprised the Premier League are willing to kick so many games down the road- you would think clubs would want to at least have played the same amount of fixtures as those around them as soon as possible. Add in the uncertainty about whether Covid-19 will impact on any more fixtures and I am a little unsure as to why the Premier League have not made firmer decisions right now.
UEFA have already given Leagues permission to schedule games on nights reserved for European Football (although kick off time would prevent a clash) with the belief that that will allow all fixtures to be completed in timely fashion, while the integrity of the League should mean teams will not want to hold onto 'games in hand' for too long.
Some of it may be down to the FA Cup Fifth Round coming up as the Premier League looks to see how many games will need to be re-arranged in GW29 when the Quarter Finals are set to be played, while teams not involved in European Football do have a bit more room for manoeuvre.
All the signs point to GW26 being the biggest double left in the calendar, but there are plenty of additional DGWs which can make the difference as long as we get to find out when those fixtures are going to be played.
I think some of those may be arranged at short notice, while fixtures could be moved around depending on how the FA Cup Quarter Final line up shapes up (for example a Tottenham Hotspur loss at Everton and a Sheffield United win over Bristol City could see the postponed Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur game moved to GW29 rather than offering a DGW later in the season).
This is just something we cannot account for this season, but keep an eye on fixtures and leave transfers as late as possible so you can perhaps take advantage of the situations as they come up.
