Mersons VIRiyad Mahrez - Jamie Vardys goals have dried up and hes been the one that has stepped up. If theres a man to make the difference in a tight game then hes the number one contender.Shane Long - Hes the man that can cause problems with his movement and Robert Huth and Wes Morgan wont enjoy playing against him. Leicester will have to go out and chase the win that will make for space for Long to get in behind.NGolo Kante - Hes having a magnificent season and making a mockery of the fact very few people had even heard of him at the start of the season, even scoring for France - the cheek of him! The way he gets around the park is like having an extra man in midfield. NGolo Kante scored on his France debut against Russia Steven Davis - Im a big fan of his as hes very underrated and always does a good job. Hell complete plenty of passes and create chances.Robert Huth - Leicester have three clean sheets on the bounce but Ive got him in there more for his goals than his clean sheets. A lot of defenders go up for set-pieces because their managers tell them to but this guy always looks a threat. Marc Albrighton - He takes corners and free-kicks so hes going to create plenty of chances and has been another one of the unsung heroes of the season. Its ridiculous to think Aston Villa let him go! Marc Albrighton has flourished at Leicester after struggling at Aston Villa Le Tiss VIGraziano Pelle - Hes rediscover his scoring touch with three goals in his last two games and Im backing him to net again on Sunday.Shinji Okazaki - Im loading my team with attacking players because I think its going to be a high-scoring game. Okazaki obviously has not been as prolific as others but hes still got a few goals this season and creates chances.Virgil van Dijk - Im not expecting us to keep a clean sheet but hes a real threat to score from a set-pieces. With three goals this season, Scott Dann is the only defender to have scored more. Virgil van Dijk has impressed in his first season at Southampton NGolo Kante - Hes one of the stars of the season and hes got to be a solid pick, making plenty of passes, tackles and interceptions.Shane Long - His pace is going to be key to hitting Leicester on the counter-attack, where we know we can really hurt them. He was also on the scoresheet for Ireland so confidence should be high.Danny Drinkwater - Talking of confidence, a man-of-the-match award on his England debut will have done Drinkwaters no harm at all. Hell probably complete more passes than any other player and should create chances as well.Who makes your VI? Pick your Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-Side team here.

Pittsburgh has won six in a row and 11 of its last 12 games to open a big lead atop the Metropolitan Division. With 53 points, the Penguins are 12 points ahead of Washington for the divisions top spot and Pittsburgh also is five points in front of Boston for the Eastern Conference lead. Despite battling a rash of injuries, the Pens posted their two most recent wins on back-to-back nights, beating the New York Rangers on the road in a 4-3 shootout on Wednesday before downing the visiting Minnesota Wild by a 5-2 score on Thursday. The decisive victory over the Wild was the ninth straight win on home ice for the Pens, who are off to a stellar 16-3-0 mark as the host this season. If history is any indication, Pittsburgh has a good chance to make it 10 straight home wins this afternoon. The Pens are 12-1-0 with two ties in their last 15 home games against the Flames, and Calgary has lost eight of 10 overall in this series. Pittsburgh is currently dealing with injuries to star forward Evgeni Malkin and defensemen Kris Letang, Paul Martin, Brooks Orpik and Rob Scuderi.

He came in wide from the right side and snapped a wrister that trickled across the goal line to give Pittsburgh a 5-2 lead. "Ive tried that move in practice a few times. Its the only move I have," Maatta said. "I thought (Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom) got it at first. Then I saw it go in so I was pretty excited." Chris Kunitz had two goals for the Penguins, while Jeff Zatkoff made 24 saves for the win. Malkin is questionable for todays game, while Letang, Martin, Orpik and Scuderi are out. While Pittsburgh aims for its 10th straight home win on Saturday, the Flames will try to halt a three-game road slide. Calgary began a five-game road trip with last Saturdays overtime win in Buffalo, but Bob Hartleys club has gone 0-1-2 since. The Flames played Thursday evening in Detroit and was dealt a 3-2 overtime loss by the Red Wings, who won after Daniel Alfredsson scored his second goal of the game just 63 seconds into the extra session. Detroit got a power play when Calgary defenseman TJ Brodie was whistled for hooking with 42 seconds left in regulation. On the ensuing power play, Pavel Datsyuk fed Alfredsson for a one-timer in the slot and the veteran ripped the shot past Karri Ramo. Mikael Backlund and Mark Giordano both scored for Calgary. Ramo stopped 35 shots in defeat. After closing its road trip on Saturday, Calgary will play its next five games at the Saddledome, beginning with Mondays game against St. Louis.
