After a subdued Saturday programme, Sunday explodes on us with veritable feast of football featuring five of last season’s top seven sides. While Chelsea’s visit to the Etihad at tea-time is undoubtedly the headline act, we’ve plenty to keep us engaged until the 4pm kick-off.

The day begins with a pair of fixtures, with Leicester looking to continue their impressive start to their campaign against Louis van Gaal’s United redux, whilst at the Lane, Spurs will be seeking to dish out further punishment to a West Brom side that’s faltered out of the blocks so far.

That’s rounded off by the main event in Manchester, with Everton’s Goodison clash with Crystal Palace running alongside it. Fantasy managers look set for a eventful afternoon,then, with the day’s events potential turning Gameweek fortunes on their head.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news and key injury updates as the night draws in and Gameweek 5 draws to a close.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      12 years, 1 month ago

    Mata, stay on the bench - fake an injury. Clynes 8 pts would do nicely.

    1. Deano
      12 years, 1 month ago

      How could you possibly not play Clyne?

        Been discussed on here, many benched in favour of Naylor as did I.
        I'll ask you first next time, shall I? 😉

    This is why I was so p*ssed off with Redknapp and QPR last weekend.

    Utd are great going forward but they're utter sh*te at the back. If we'd have gone at them from the start we could have given ourselves a chance.

    Instead we opened up our legs, gave them a bottle of lube and told them to do whatever they wanted to us.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I thought Hoillet would cause all sorts of problems, but he was basically playing left back...

  10. Top Drawer Jeff
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Genuinely feel sorry for U Mata owners ... Doesn't deserve this 🙁

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus

      The writing was on the wall….

  11. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…

      Need points from hazard today personally. Best case would be a clean sheet for chelsea with hazard goal and no Costa goals 🙂

    12. AlCapwnUK
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Milner, Fernandinho and Toure is a pretty no-nonsense midfield. Same with Ramires, Matic and William.

    13. Paul Psychic Octopus
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Thought Schurrle might have started this one

  22. Vardy Gras PBFC
    12 years, 1 month ago

    1.0m ITB and 1 FT, now looking at making changes to my front 8.

    Siggy // Rodwell // Ramsey // Fab // Sterling // Rooney // Naismith // Diego Costa

    1. Rodwell & Rooney -> Ulloa (fixtures) & ADM (seems like a good player) (-4)
    2. Ramsey -> ADM

    Tempted by 1 as not convinced by Rooney not being a striker, especially if Januzaj is getting in ahead of him.

    1. Birds of Prey
      12 years, 1 month ago

      that was the best example of a so-so book into a great movie. Loved how they had to get a chick director.

  23. Fifa las vegas
