Heres a look at the key credentials of this weeks Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-Side Elite Players as Manchester United host title favourites Arsenal at 2.05pm, live on Sky Sports 1HD. Mesut OzilThe Arsenal playmaker undoubtedly boasts the best stats of those involved at Old Trafford due to his unrivalled creativity. Ozil has fashioned an average of 4.33 chances per game this season to supplement his relatively modest tally of four goals. He also boasts a superior pass completion average of 51.2, ensuring he has a consistently high points tally, including a 92-point haul in his last league outing against Leicester. Olivier GiroudAs the only Elite Player to have consistently operated as a central striker, the Frenchman is comfortably the highest goalscorer with 12 to his name, also averaging the most shot-per-game ratio at 1.38. However, his passing average and chance creation stats are the lowest of the four, while he has failed to score in his last five Premier League games.Juan MataMata has struggled to have the same creative influence for United as Ozil has at the Emirates, making an average of 1.42 chances a game and claiming just four assists. However, he does boast the same goal tally with four and actually averages more shots-per-game than team-mate Martial and Ozil with 0.96.Antony Martial (injury doubt)The 20-year-old has rediscovered some of his early-season promise, with two goals from Uniteds last three league games, and looks set to play a more advanced and central role in Wayne Rooneys absence. Only Giroud is shorter odds in Sky Bets first goalscorer betting but backers will certainly hope he significantly improves his shot-per-game ratio, having attempted just 0.8 per game this season, lower than any of the other Elite Players. The Frenchman is also a doubt after picking up a minor hamstring injury in the warm-up ahead of Uniteds Europa League clash with FC Midtjylland.Pick your Fantasy Six-a-Side line-up here. Troy Aikman Cowboys Jersey . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim. Tony Pollard Youth Jersey .

Charles Haley Youth Jersey . Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations. Charles Haley Cowboys Jersey . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. Carl Frampton has questioned whether the BBCs Sports Personality of the Year is anti-Northern Ireland after he and other stars from the country were omitted from the awards shortlist.The Belfast boxer, who in 2016 unified super bantamweight world titles before moving up a division to win the WBA world featherweight title, claimed he would have been selected on the 16-strong list if he was English.Framptons remarks came as Democratic Unionist MP Ian Paisley vowed to raise concerns around the absence of Northern Ireland nominees at Westminster.As well as a regional basis, Frampton suggested the selection was also potentially anti-boxing.He also asked why two-time world Superbike champion Jonathan Rea from County Antrim and Team GBs most decorated Paralympian at Rio, Bethany Firth, were also omitted.Paralympians who won fewer medals in Brazil than the County Down swimmers haul of three golds and a silver did make the 16.I feel like I should have got on but Johnny Rea also had a shout, Bethany Firth as well also had a shout, said Frampton. And I think maybe what it looks to me is anti-boxing, maybe anti-Northern Ireland, who knows?But listen, I am not going to cry about it and Ill get on with my career.Frampton became the first boxer from Northern Ireland to win world titles at two different weights when he beat previously undefeated Mexican Leo Santa Cruz in New York in the summer.That featherweight victory came after he defeated Englands Scott Quigg in Manchester in February to unify two super bantamweight world titles.In an interview with BBC Radio Ulster, Frampton said he believed Andy Murray, who won nine titles in 2016 and became world number one for the first time, would be the clear winner of the award, but he said he still deserved to be among the nominees.I am slightly disappoointed, I think, especially as they extended the list and there was no space for me, he said.dddddddddddd I unified a title and I moved up and beat a three weight world champion -- both fights on the road as well.But Im not going to complain about that. I didnt get picked for whatever reason. I feel there are people on that list that I deserve to be on in front of.North Antrim MP Paisley has tabled an early day motion on the issue in the Commons.In response to the furore, a BBC spokeswoman said: In what has been an extraordinary year of sport, many contenders were considered and debated by an expert industry panel, who by consensus agreed on the shortlist.The issue was also raised on the floor of the Stormont Assembly.When asked for her thoughts concerning the lack of Northern Irish-born sports stars on the shortlist, the regions First Minister Arlene Foster replied: She is not amused.Foster also said Executive colleagues intended to challenge BBC management, adding that she believed there was a problem with the judging panel.Foster said: I think it is absolutely scandalous that someone of Carl Framptons ability, and indeed a double world champion, should be excluded.Another man who should have been thought of as well is Jonathan Rea, who again is a double world champion. What about Bethany Firth?And, indeed what about Michael McGovern, that man from Fermanagh who did sterling work for the Northern Ireland team during the Euros.I think there is a huge hole in relation to the Sports Personality of the Year, despite the fact that they have increased from 12 to 16, they have managed to leave out some of the very special sporting stars from Northern Ireland.
