Already know how to play? Pick your Fantasy Six-A-Side team here for the chance to win £10,000.

All you have to do is select six players from the two sides, including your Elite Player from the four most valuable players, then sit back and keep track of your team's scores via our dedicated Match Centre, with regular updates powered by Opta, match stats and a live leaderboard.

Unlike other fantasy games, your selected players are rewarded for every save, tackle, pass or shot, and you only have to wait for 90 minutes of action to be completed to see whether you've won the jackpot.

Here's a guide for picking your Fantasy Six-a-Side line-up...

Step 1: Pick your Elite Player

Choose one Elite Player from the pool of four available. An Elite Player is best described as a player that is in-form and likely to have a significant impact on the game. Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Juan Mata and Anthony Martial are this week's selection.

Step 2: Pick five Team Players

The remaining five spots in the team must be filled from all the other Team Players from the two clubs. There are no player values, formations or position requirements.

Step 3: Pick a Power Play period

Your team will score double points during your chosen 15-minute Power Play period.

Step 4: Predict the golden goal & submit your team

In the event that two or more managers are tied on the same number of points at the end of the match, the prize will be awarded to the manager that has made the closest prediction for the minute of the first goal scored.

Once your selection is confirmed, you can make unlimited changes to your team and Power Play period up until the Game Round deadline, which for this weekend is 4pm on Sunday.

Scoring points

Fantasy Six-a-Side offers greater depth and appreciation for performances than any other Fantasy game, rewarding your selections with a more detailed point system.

Fantasy Six-A-Side points scoring breakdown

No longer will you be left pulling you hair out when your players put chances on a plate for their team-mates, only to see them hit row z.

For example, when Manchester United v Arsenal was the Fantasy Six-a-Side game, Marcus Rashford was the top scorer racked up 90 points by scoring twice, setting up another, completing 10 passes, making two clearances and successfully winning a foul and a tackle.
