    "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

    Yeah, that last entry has just reminded a lot of people that they forgot to update their fantasy team before 11.

    Never mind about the actual Premier League managers, the latest international break has been a nightmare for fantasy football managers - meticulously planned long-term strategies have gone up in smoke due to injuries and Covid-19.

    So do you hold on to Mohamed Salah and rely on your bench players to fill in for a couple of weeks? Do you hope that Marcus Rashford and James Ward-Prowse are going to be fit to start at the weekend? Or do you just rip the whole thing up and start again?

    Find out what Alistair Bruce-Ball's advice is for game week nine.

    Newcastle v Chelsea (12:30 GMT)

    Newcastle forward Callum Wilson could make a swift return from a hamstring injury, while Jonjo Shelvey and Matt Ritchie haven't been ruled out.

    Ryan Fraser isn't fit and Miguel Almiron only arrived back in England late on Thursday and is being assessed.

    Chelsea will again be without the injured Christian Pulisic, while Frank Lampard says Thiago Silva is unlikely to play following international duty.

    Kai Havertz is back in training after a period of self-isolation.

    It is a bit of a battle for who can finish the day top of the table this Saturday.

    Chelsea get the ball rolling, knowing a win at Newcastle will send them to the summit of the division. Villa then host Brighton, knowing that bettering Chelsea's result or scoring two more than them in victory would have them top.

    And then we have Spurs, who will trump all and decisively lead at the end of the day if they beat Manchester City.

    Manchester United also host West Brom.

    Do you remember where you were the last time a Premier League game was played?

    Don't worry, though, we're back on the good stuff today.

    Welcome to our coverage of Saturday's English top-flight fixtures. Yay.
