3 weeks agoLatest NewsComments Off on Transfer recommendations for Gameweek 20: Morgan Rogers & Phil Foden among smart options
THE return of the Champions League and Europa League means six clubs are set to pull double duty in Gameweek 20.
Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Manchester United will also play twice in Gameweek 21 so Dream Team managers would be wise to focus on this sextet for the remainder of January.
You don’t need us to tell you that the likes of Mohamed Salah (£8.1m), Erling Haaland (£8m) and Bruno Fernandes (£6.2m) are well placed to provide points but allows us to present some transfer recommendations that aren’t quite as obvious.

Phil Foden (£6.2m)
Manchester City’s No47 might be the biggest name who currently features in fewer than 10% of teams.
Pep Guardiola’s side still have problems in defence but their attack once again looks difficult to resist.
Foden has banked 60 points in his last six games via four goals and two assists; he’s not shy of a bonus point either.
City are due to face Ipswich and PSG this coming Gameweek and they can’t afford to ease up in the Champions League with their spot in the knockout stage at serious risk.
The England international is very expensive and so some Dream Team bosses might consider Savinho (£4.3m) a more realistic avenue into City’s midfield.
Spurs Stars
ReutersLook at their points, not the league table[/caption]
It might sound counterproductive to heavily rely on a team currently 13th in the table, fresh off an unconvincing FA win over non-league Tamworth and defeat in the North London derby, but hear us out.
Ange Postecoglou’s side are far from the complete package but several players have made waves in Dream Team this season.
Pedro Porro (£4.2m) and Dominic Solanke (£4.6m) rank fourth in their respective positions while Brennan Johnson (£3.7m), James Maddison (£4.1m) and Dejan Kulusevski (£4.3m) are all among the top seven midfielders.
Antonin Kinsky (£2.8m) made fans sweat on a few occasions at the Emirates but the fact is the Czech goalkeeper has been a Dream Team asset for two Gameweeks and racked up 25 points.
Spurs are due to play Everton, Hoffenheim (16th in the Bundesliga), Leicester and Elfsborg before the end of the month.
Morgan Rogers (£3.5m)
Cold celebration, hot formGetty
The Aston Villa midfielder is a class act who has offered excellent value for money since August.
Rogers was the most transferred-out player prior to Gameweek 18 because of a suspension but now that he’s back to playing almost every minute that matters for the Villains, gaffers who ditched him should consider bringing him back into mix.
Managers who wisely recruited the silky 22-year-old prior to Gameweek 19 were rewarded with a 17-point haul.
He scored the winner against West Ham in the cup and brilliantly assisted the game’s only goal at Everton on Wednesday night, finished off by Ollie Watkins (£5m).
Gameweek 20 isn’t all that favourable for Villa as it features away days to Arsenal and Monaco but the broader picture shows Rogers with four fixtures to fulfil at a time when most teams will play just twice – West Ham and Celtic are due in the midlands before the end of the month.
Chris Wood (£3.9m)
ProlificAlamy
We always try to include leftfield option and who better than Nottingham Forest’s talismanic target man for Gameweek 20?
Granted, the New Zealander doesn’t have a midweek fixture but on current form he will back himself against lowly Southampton at the City Ground on Sunday.
Wood has arguably been the most clinical finisher in the Premier League this season with 13 goals from 37 shots.
For comparison, Cole Palmer (£6.1m) has scored 14 league goals from 74 shots.
Assuming high-flying Forest are able to engineer plenty of chances against relegation-bound Saints, Wood could easily overtake several Golden Boot rivals come full time.
Without additional fixtures the 33 year-old striker’s long-term viability is limited but he’s a tempting option for Gameweek 20.
Calling back to last Thursday’s transfer tips, our one-week punt suggestions, Eberechi Eze (£4.9m) and Daniel Munoz (£4.2m), combined for 38 points in Gameweek 19 – proof that there’s more than one way to play this game!

JIMMY Mizen had his whole life ahead of him when he entered a south London bakery in 2008.
But in a fit of rage that was robbed from him by Jake Fahri.
ReutersJake Fahri, known as TEN, was given a life sentence in 2009[/caption]
CollectMillwall fan Jimmy Mizen was attacked by Fahri at a bakery in Lee, South East London[/caption]
PARobert Jenrick says Jimmy’s family deserve so much better[/caption]
I can’t even begin to imagine the pain and suffering his death caused.
The courage of his family to forgive Fahri despite everything is truly remarkable.
I don’t think I could have done so myself. Their positivity and dignity are a lesson to us all.
It makes Fahri’s subsequent behaviour all the more despicable.
I can think of few more sickening things than glorifying the death of an innocent young boy in songs to make money.
But what is more shocking is that our national broadcaster are promoting this music from a murderer.
Not only are they helping him make money from his despicable crime, they are glamourising violence to tens of thousands of impressionable young teenagers who listen.
We currently have a knife crime epidemic and they are helping to fuel it.
Just last week a 14 year-old boy was stabbed to death on bus in broad daylight in south east London.
There were 50,000 knife related offences last year and in the capital it’s completely out of control.
Yes, we need more robust enforcement, but we also need people in positions of responsibility to reject it entirely.
There should be a full investigation into such a poor editorial decision, but shamefully the BBC are in denial.
Jimmy’s poor family deserve a full apology from the BBC and a commitment that the Radio 1 extra will never play music glorifying such abhorrent violence again.
Spotify and YouTube should follow suit too. They should hang their heads in shame they too are monetising music lyrics that so brazenly celebrate murder.
And the probation service need to act fast. It makes a mockery of our justice system if murders can get away with this sick behaviour with impunity.
Jimmy’s family deserve so much better.
Robert Jenrick is the Shadow Secretary of State for Justice.
British public rallies behind Jimmy Mizen's family
THE British public rallied behind Jimmy Mizen’s family in the wake of the Sun’s story about his killer’s drill rap music being played on the BBC – by donating cash to the foundation set up in Jimmy’s name to promote “hope, not hate”.
The Mizen Foundation was founded in 2008 after 16-year-old Jimmy was murdered by Fahri as he queued in a bakery in south-east London.
Fahri was sentenced to life and served 15 years before being released from prison in June 2023 and embarking on music career as a balaclava-wearing rapper called TEN.
Some of his tracks have been played on the BBC’s 1XTRA station and also on its website, with DJ Theo Johnson promoting him as a “stand out” musician.
The Ministry of Justice is now investigating.
In response, well-wishers have rallied around the deeply religious Mizen family, who have spent the years since Jimmy’s murder campaigning for peace and trying to help young people.
On the Foundation’s website, one well wisher wrote: “I saw Margaret on television this morning and she was so moving and inspiring that I wanted to do something positive in response.
“Sending love and support to her, Barry and your family.”
Another added: “The way you have chosen to cherish Jimmy’s memory and celebrate his life is outstanding.
“Your message of forgiveness is a message for everyone today.”
Jimmy’s family created the charity to ensure that something positive came out of their loss.
Parents Margaret and Barry have dedicated their lives to celebrating Jimmy’s life, sharing their story of forgiveness, peace, and hope to effect change in our communities.
The charity aims to support young people across the UK by challenging them to be the change makers and peace makers in their local communities.

JANAINA Prazeres has been dubbed the ‘most beautiful woman in the world’, but has now opened up on the downsides of being so good looking.
Not only is making friends a challenge, but the 35-year-old also got candid on how her good looks limit her job opportunities too.

Jam Press/CO Press OfficeBut she’s now set the record straight on the downsides of her attractive life[/caption]
Jam Press/CO Press OfficeShe claimed that women are jealous of her, which makes it challenging to form friendships[/caption]
Jam Press/CO Press OfficeShe also struggles to get work as a result of her good looks[/caption]
Janaina confessed that her stunning looks are not natural but “paid for.”
The influencer has spent over £760,000 on cosmetic procedures ranging from breast augmentations to butt fillers, Botox and buccal fat removal, and claimed that her beauty makes her feel “powerful.”
The content creator, who boasts 712,000 Instagram followers, has gone to extreme lengths to look beautiful, and has even had a controversial bee venom treatment for her skin.
She told NeedToKnow: “My appearance is the result of significant investment and planning.
“Beauty isn’t just genetics – it’s dedication and investing in yourself.
“I love feeling more beautiful and I always strive to keep my self-esteem high. That’s the secret to a better life.
“If I can invest in it, I won’t hold back, I believe there’s nothing wrong with paying for something that makes me feel powerful.”
The São Paulo native, previously voted the ‘Perfect Woman’ by Playboy due to her body’s proportions, admitted that her good looks often lead to objectification.
She said: “Being too beautiful sometimes makes people view me as an object or a trophy.”
Not only this, but she opened up on the challenges she faces when it comes to making friends and getting jobs, as she confessed: “It is also difficult to maintain female friendships, as I often sense a competitive and envious atmosphere.
“I have learned to stand up for myself and set boundaries so that people respect me beyond my physical appearance.
Being considered ‘perfect’ does not define who I truly am. There’s so much more to me than what people see
Janaina Prazeres
“Some work opportunities have even been limited because my beauty often overshadows my other qualities, which leads people to underestimate my professional skills.”
Janaína has splashed out on various surgeries to perfect her look, including three nose jobs, two nose reconstructions, four liposuctions with BBL, three boob jobs, a facelift and even claimed to have had a rib removed.
What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.

But that’s not all, as she revealed: “I am now getting $100,000 [£81,740] reconstruction surgery for my butt.”
The beauty also regularly invests in maintenance Botox and lip fillers every three months, along with anti-ageing drips.
She emphasised: “People criticise but being named the most perfect woman comes at a price, and I chose to pay it to achieve that standard.”
Despite this, she continued: “Being considered ‘perfect’ does not define who I truly am. There’s so much more to me than what people see.
“I hope that, in the future, women will be recognised not only for their beauty but also for their other qualities and merits.”

KATIE Price has hit out at this year’s Love Island All Stars cast and had some extra scathing words for one of the show’s most popular hunks.
The 46-year-old had her say on the show’s opening line-up in a brand new YouTube video filmed in bed with her sister, Sophie.

RexKate suggested Scott Thomas was too old and insisted she’d never heard of Kaz[/caption]
In the clip, the pair expressed their delight that the ITV2dating show would be making its return but Katie was soon left moaning as she appeared underwhelmed with the choice of Islanders who were being sent back into the villa in South Africa.
One of the cast who did not get the seal of approval from Katie was series two hunk, Scott Thomas.
Whilst she admitted she did “like” him, she swiped at him being too “old” for the programme.
Speaking to her sister, Katie said: “Scott’s doing it! Scott Thomas.”
Sophie could be heard muttering “why” under her breath as Katie pulled a mischievous look and softly said to the camera: “I thought he was too old to do it?”
However, she quickly clarified: “I like Scott, their nice.”
Sophie and Katie then began to reel off the other members of the cast as the mum-of-five’s sister insists she likes Marcel Somerville as he is “funny”.
As Sophie read aloud Nas Majeed‘s name, Katie’s eyes suggested she did not know who he was and she gave a similar reaction to Kaz Crossley too.
Katie said: “I don’t know who that is? Kaz? I don’t know…”
As the sisters continued to look at the screen and let out a few unimpressed groans, Katie then said: “But I’m still gonna watch it, I’ll still watch it.”

NEWLY-single Tasha Ghouri struggled to put on a brave face following her shock split as she was spotted looking miserable at work on the Strictly Come Dancing live tour.

The Sun revealed earlier this week how the star had signed up to a celebrity dating app following her split
Fresh from the fallout, the dancer looked downcast as she sat on the sidelines during a press day to promote the tour.
She was spotted with her head in her hands before being supported by professionals Jowita Przystal and Karen Jones who sat either side of her on the stage steps.
Later, celebrity dancers including Montell Douglas joined a reflective-looking Tasha who then rested her head on the Gladiator star’s shoulder.
Tasha refused to answer questions about her relationship breakdown and instead focused on the tour, which kicks off on Friday night.
“It’s such a crazy feeling standing in the middle of arenas where all these people have come to see you dance,” said Tasha.
“You see what Strictly does to them; you see the smiles and the happy faces and that fuels you.”

It’s been a tough few days for the Strictly star who was the show’s first deaf contestant.
News of her unexpected split from Andrew broke after she was spotted on Raya.
She hurriedly removed her dating app profile as those close to Andrew claim he was blindsided by the move.
Insiders say he believed the couple were “going through a rough patch” – but had no clue Tasha was already moving on.
It also came as a massive surprise for fans after Tasha insisted she and Andrew would not be affected by the Strictly curse.
She reached the final of the BBC dance show last year and is now going on the road with her dance partner Aljaz and their Strictly co-stars for a nationwide live tour.
Prior to the competition starting last autumn, Tasha told The Sun: “Andrew, to me, is the hottest man on this whole planet.
“Me and Andrew trust each other 100 per cent.
“It’s not a make-or-break for us. We’re going to breeze through this because we’re going to marry each other one day, you know?”
Tasha struggled to hide her real feelings amid Andrew split
By Amanda Devlin, Assistant Showbiz Editor (Features)
As the saying goes, “the show must go on” – even if you’ve just broken up with your ex of two and a half years.
But Tasha looked miserable as she emerged from backstage at the Birmingham Utilita Arena ahead of the Strictly Live tour launch.
I was there when the Love Island star walked in with her head down, arm in arm with dance partner Alijaz.
She may have looked incredible, but her face told a different story. Ever the professional, Tasha forced a smile for the cameras, yet sadly you could tell it was an effort.
Who can blame her? Break ups are horrible. Even if like her you’re dressed in a gold sequin dress and in full glam, if you’re not happy on the inside, it shows.
The tired-looking dancer was pale and downcast as she returned to work after her break up.
Forcing a grin as she posed for photographs with her Strictly co-stars, Tasha’s mask slipped when the cameras stopped rolling during the press day to promote the Strictly Live tour.
At events, Tasha is always super smiley, polite and charming. I’ve interviewed her a few times as well as bumped into her on the red carpet at various award shows.
She is usually very relaxed and happy to catch up – but today she isolated herself and wasn’t keen on talking – even if it was about Strictly Come Dancing.
It’s sad to think that behind the glitz and glam of the nationwide tour with its bright lights and entertaining dances, Tasha will be privately battling her relationship breakdown.
There was a sweet moment when she rested her head on Montell Douglas’s shoulders as she looked for comfort from friends.
Although the tour could prove to be the perfect distraction from Andrew, let’s hope her Strictly co-stars are there for her through the highs and the lows.

Tina, 29, appeared in the 2016 series alongside Scott Thomas and is pals with Gabby Allen, so will find some friendly faces in the villa when she joins.
Tina was last on telly as part of E4’s Made in Chelsea cast where she’s dated Sam Thompson’s pal Reza Amiri-Garroussi.
But The Sun can reveal it’s Casey O’Gorman she’s keen to target in Cape Town after they hooked up on holiday.
A source said: “Casey’s already come under fire for his casual approach to dating, so yet another of his flings coming into the villa is only going to make matters worse.
“It’s terrible timing for his growing connection with Gabby too, cos Tina is one of her pals.
“Tina is a perfectly timed bombshell and will be bringing the drama.”
Tina has hinted that Casey did her dirty in her entry chat.
She said: “Dishonesty is a huge one for me – I like people to be straight forward. Trust and communication is key.”
On returning to Love Island eight years on, she added: “I think I’d like to show myself more, I’d like to show my strength as I wasn’t as strong back then so I’d like to show who I am now.
“When I did it, I was 21 and it’s been such a long time, and I’ve learnt so many life lessons.
“It was the best experience that I’ve ever had, it made me learn about myself and grow.
“I was quite a shy person, so to put myself in that environment was very outside of my comfort zone, but I made friends for life.

THE Yakuza series is taking to the high seas for the first time with the upcoming adventure Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
As a Gaiden game it’s part of the mainline series, but is not really a fully-fledged game.
RGG StudiosGoro Majima takes on the role of the protagonist in this story[/caption]
RGG StudiosIn his massive Mad Dog style, dopplegangers will join you in fast-paced battle[/caption]
RGG StudiosBut like any pirate Majima will also roam the high seas[/caption]
Likewise, fan-favourite character Goro Majima’s adventure on the high seas explains the whereabouts between Infinite Wealth and the next mainline entry.
The last game allowed us to play as secret agent Kazuma Kiryu, and Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii lets us become pirate captain Kazuma Kiryu.
Gaiden games focus on the battles and gameplay rather than the story, but there are still touching character moments for fans.
We’ve had the chance to play as Majima before and try out his fast-paced Mad Dog fighting style for ourselves.
Pirate Yakuza adds a new Sea Dog style that is slightly slower, but hits a little stronger.
When Majima is in Sea Dog style he can call up different animals to help in battle by playing different instruments.
It’s goofy, but that’s what the Yakuza series is all about, and more so when you cast your hero as a pirate.
You can sail between the different islands, and while sailing is slow, you’ll see whirlpools, lighting and breaching whales as you go to keep things spicy.
Pirate Yakuza reuses the map from Infinite Wealth, but also adds a few more areas to explore, including Madlantis, a pirate-themed version of the Castle.
Coliseum battles made up a large part of fully completing Like A Dragon Gaiden, and that seems to be the case for Pirate Yakuza too.
The Pirate Coliseum features four battle types, ranging from over a hundred people beating each other up on the beach, to naval battles where you tactically take down the enemy ships before climbing on board to take out the crew.
The beach and deck battles will be familiar to any Yakuza fan, while the naval battles are something completely new.
It’s an entirely different style of fighting to what players are used to, but it’s good that RGG Studios is taking a risk.
It is also filled with more mini-games than you could ever play in your lifetime, with a good number of Sega Master System games thrown in for good measure.
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will undoubtedly attract newcomers to the series thanks to the pirate theme, while also acting as fan service for long-time lovers.
Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will be released on February 21, 2025 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

A SINGING pudding seller in rural Pakistan has been dubbed President-elect Donald Trump’s top lookalike.
At a bustling market in the eastern Punjab province, one vendor with a platinum blonde quiff and white, aged face gets more business than others for obvious reasons.
Saleem Bagga is a spitting image of Donald TrumpReutersEPABagga has been dubbed President-elect Donald Trump’s (pictured) lookalike[/caption]
ReutersThe lookalike often poses for selfies with customers[/caption]
Locals and visitors alike cannot tear their eyes from the Trump doppelganger Saleem Bagga, 53.
The dessert vendor with albinism doesn’t just wow customers with his stark similarities to Trump – but with his singing voice too.
One local resident Mohammad Yaseen said: “We feel as if Trump has come here to sell kheer (pudding).
“When he sings to sell kheer, we come down to him.”
The 53-year-old spends his time pushing his bright, colorful wooden cart along the road delivering the milky pudding to disbelieved locals.
As he sells his pudding, Bagga sings the lyrics to a Punjabi song: “Now you come down to me my love, don’t delay, my eyes are tired of waiting.”
People can’t get enough of the Trump lookalike – or his dessert either.
One local resident Imran Ashraf, a clear fan of Bagga’s, said: “His kheer is really delicious.
“We talk to him and we take selfies with him and we tell our friends that we have taken these pictures with Trump.”
Meanwhile Bagga is unfazed from the sheer volume of attention and cameras that follow him through the marketplace – and even back to his home neighborhood in the district of Sahiwal.

He said: “My face resembles Donald Trump, that is why people take selfies with me.
“I feel very good.
“Donald Trump [sir], you have won the election, now visit here and eat my kheer, you will really enjoy it.”
Trump will officially be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2025, in a historic ceremony in Washington DC.
This event will mark the transfer of power from Joe Biden to Trump, who is returning to the White House for a rare non-consecutive second term.
The inauguration will take place at the iconic US Capitol building, where both the president-elect and vice president-elect will take their oaths of office.
JD Vance, the vice president-elect, will be the first to take his oath, followed by Trump as he embarks on his next chapter in the nation’s highest office.

Getty50 to 52-year-olds are now entitled to a free NHS bowel screening test[/caption]
Everyone aged 50 to 74 in England is now eligible to receive an at-home poo testing kit as part of NHS England’s bowel cancer screening programme.
TheFaecal Immunochemistry Test (FIT), which looks for invisible traces of blood in small poo samples, can help detect bowel cancer before it causes noticeable symptoms.
Since 2021, the NHS in England has gradually been expanding test availability down to people in their 50s.
Those aged 50 to 52 will receive their tests by the end of March.
The bowel cancer screening test is one of a few available on the NHS – but of Brits are failing to make use of them, with only 70 per cent of invitations taken up.
Official figures show around 30 per cent of people invited for free NHS bowel cancer testing do not take up the invitation.
A further 35 per cent of women don’t attend breast screening appointments and 31 per cent snub cervical smear test invitations.
A study revealed a million cancer cases may have been missed worldwide due to Covid lockdowns.
Scientists said diagnosis rates dropped by 23 per cent and treatments by 28 per cent in the pandemic’s first year.
The number of screening tests also fell, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Meanwhile, NHS figures show the number of cancer diagnoses fell from 327,174 in 2019 to 288,753 in 2020.
Many were missed due to a drop in medical appointments and people being less willing to seek NHS help, research has confirmed.
If you’re one of the Brits who missed their test, it might be because you weren’t aware of the options available.
Alongside the bowel cancer test we outline the other cancer checks you can get for free on the NHS in England, and the ages you become eligible for them.
The free NHS cancer screenings you can get in England
1. Breast check
Most women will have been told to check their own breasts for signs of lumps and bumps, but after a certain age you’ll be invited for a free NHS breast cancer screening.
You’ll automatically get your first invite for up to three years after you hit 50, as long as you’re registered to a GP surgery.
After that, you’ll be invited every three years until you turn 71.
If you’re a trans man, trans woman or are non-binary, you may be invited automatically, or you may need to talk to your GP surgery or call the local breast screening service to ask for an appointment.
If you have not been invited for breast screening by the time you are 53 and think you should have been, contact your local breast screening service.
But if you’re experiencing symptoms of breast cancer before you reach screening age, don’t wait to be invited – see a GP.
Do this even if you’ve recently had a breast screening.
During your appointment, you’ll have two breast x-rays, also known as mammograms, on each breast.
Each will only take a few minutes.
You should get your results within two weeks after your appointment, via letter. Your GP surgery will also be sent a copy.
If there’s no signs of breast cancer, that’s it until you’re next invited for a check-up.
If something is spotted in the mammograms, you might need to have a few more tests done, such as a breast examination, ultrasound scans and biopsy.
Most people who need further tests won’t end up diagnosed with breast cancer.
But if there are signs of breast cancer, finding it early means treatment is more likely to be successful.
According to Breast Cancer UK, around 56,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women every year.
Men can also get the disease, with 400 cases picked up each year.
2. Bowel check
Bowel cancer screening can actually be done at home, via a a test called a faecal immunochemical test (FIT), which looks for blood in a sample of your poo.
It’s available to everyone aged 54 to 74, with the programme gradually expanding to those 50-plus after The Sun’sNo Time 2 Lose campaign.
But the screening will soon be available to people aged 50, thanks to the efforts of Sun writer Dame Deborah James.
Currently, those aged 54 to 74 are automatically sent an at-home test kit every two years, so make sure your GP has your correct address.
The at-home test involves providing a small poo sample to be checked for tiny amounts of blood, which could be caused by cancer.
What are the red flag warning signs of bowel cancer?
IT'S the fourth most common cancer in the UK, the second deadliest - yet bowel cancer can be cured, if you catch it early enough.
While screening is one way of ensuring early diagnosis, there are things everyone can do to reduce their risk of the deadly disease.
Being aware of the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer, spotting any changes and checking with your GP can prove a life-saver.
If you notice any of the signs, don’t be embarrassed and don’t ignore them. Doctors are used to seeing lots of patients with bowel problems.
The five red-flag symptoms of bowel cancer include:
Bleeding from the back passage, or blood in your poo
A change in your normal toilet habits – going more frequently for example
Pain or a lump in your tummy
Extreme tiredness
Losing weight
Tumours in the bowel typically bleed, which can cause a shortage of red blood cells, known as anaemia. It can cause tiredness and sometimes breathlessness.
In some cases bowel cancer can block the bowel, this is known as a bowel obstruction.
Other signs include:
Gripping pains in the abdomen
Feeling bloated
Constipation and being unable to pass wind
Being sick
Feeling like you need to strain – like doing a number two – but after you’ve been to the loo
While these are all signs to watch out for, experts warn the most serious is noticing blood in your stools.
But, they warn it can prove tricky for doctors to diagnose the disease, because in most cases these symptoms will be a sign of a less serious disease.
If you’re 75 or over, you can ask for a kit every two years by phoning the free bowel cancer screening helpline on 0800 707 60 60.
To do the FIT kit:
Write the date on the sample bottle.
Use a clean container to catch your poo. Do not let your poo touch the toilet water. This can be a bit difficult, and you may need to try a few times.
Open the sample bottle and remove the lid, which has a sample stick attached.
Gently scrape the end of the sample stick along your poo until all the grooves are covered. Only a small amount is needed.
Put the sample stick back into the sample bottle and close the lid tightly.
Wash your hands.
Check you’ve written the date you did the sample on the sample bottle.
Put the sample bottle in the envelope included in your test kit and seal it.
Post the envelope with your sample as soon as you can. Postage is free and you do not need a stamp.
You’ll usually get your results within two weeks but don’t worry if it takes longer.
If your result says you need further tests, it means blood was found in your poo and needs to be investigated. This could have other causes except cancer, such as an anal fissure or bowel polyps.
You’ll usually need to have a colonoscopy, which is where a camera is used to check inside your bowel.

3. Cervical check
Cervical cancer checks, aka smear tests, are offered to women and people with a cervix every three years between the ages of 25 to 49, and every five years from the age of 50 to 64.
The screening will check the health of your cervix to find any abnormal changes before they turn into cancer.
Specifically, a sample of cells from your cervix will be tested for certain high risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead the development of cancer.
If high risk types of HPV are found during screening, the sample of cells is also checked for abnormal cell changes.
HPV is a super common virus passed on through vaginal, oral and anal sex, sharing sex toys and any skin to skin contact in the genital area.
In most cases your body will get rid of HPV without it causing any problems.
But sometimes HPV can linger body for a long time, causing changes in your cervix why may turn into cancer.
During the appointment, a nurse will insert a speculum in your vagina to see your cervix and remove a small sample of cells using a soft brush.
More cancers than ever are being diagnosed early
A record number of cancers are being diagnosed early when they are more curable, NHS figures show.
Nearly six in ten of the 13 most common tumours were caught at stage one or two, the health service said.
It means they have not spread to other parts of the body and they can usually be destroyed.
Almost 121,000 out of the 206,000 cancers diagnosed in England between September 2023 and August 2024 were found early.
The 59 per cent rate was up from 58 per cent a year earlier and 56 per cent the year before that.
It includes bladder, breast, bowel, kidney, lung, throat, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, stomach and uterine cancers, as well as lymphoma and melanoma.
Together they account for three quarters of all cancer cases.
NHSEngland cancer director Dame Cally Palmer said: “Lives are saved when cancers are caught early. It’s really encouraging to see more people than ever being diagnosed at an earlier stage.
“There is still much more to do to save more lives and we will not let up in our efforts to catch more cancers earlier, where treatment is more likely to be successful.”
About half of people develop cancer at some point in their life and it is the cause of one in four deaths.
