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.

    As an Aguero (C), I feel like I've been cheated out of at least 1 penalty 🙄

    That's curtains for Mata isn't it?

    Already got him out for Di Maria before I get stung even more with the price changes.

      It depends on whether they paid their membership 😉

      1. 4vets

        lol!

  5. Captain Shirokov

    Terry to Baines worked like a charm then. 😉

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years

      It all looks so good on paper...

    2. Yome

      I kept Terry, so happy so far

      everton have defended fine, it's literally 2 goals directly because of tim howard

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        That's annoying.

          shocking keeping in fact

    So no point getting baines then. Everton won't keep CSs even at home against the small teams.

  7. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    lol play Kelly last week and he doesn't play and they get a cs, 3rd bench this week and he gets an assist.... 😕

    I think I would rather Naismith came on for me rather than pick up a Fabregas 3 pointer off the bench. There will be many a good auto sub out there better than that.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      Good point.

  9. Debauchy

    Rocket from Fernandinho

  12. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Thank god for Ramires and Courtouis

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      This!

  13. Debauchy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Chelsea hanging on grimly here

  14. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero should have put that away

  15. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    How many top players will WC this early then?

  16. BeachBadger
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Liverpool, United, Tottenham, Everton* all lose so called easy fixtures

    City* and Chelsea * draw

    What a gameweek.

  17. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard has to be the most fouled player in the league.

  18. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Just not coming off for Aguero. And Pelly will probably take him off and leave Dzeko on, the muppet.

  19. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 16 Years

    Dzeko's snail like reaction when in front of Ramires

  20. palace ash
    • 16 Years

    Palace living on a prayer! Everton onslaught.

  21. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years

    Not the best fpl wise..but as a chelsea fan i will take the 0-0

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Both teams will be happy with a 0-0

      1. Debauchy
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        City wont

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah city at least must avoid defeat. City needs the win more

  22. vice

    Aguero is such a class player, I've never seen him falling and begging for a penalty. He always chooses to continue when it's possible.

  23. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Mangala, will he be a starter now?

  24. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Schurrle finally on.

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Don't understand Mou's fascination with him.

  25. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years

    What an awful freekick

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Even David Luiz was better than that

  26. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Who was on here earlier saying there was no chance Everton were conceding today? 😆

  27. Game of Stones
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Here comes Mirallas and Naismith...

  28. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Mikel for Costa would be a wise move JM.

  29. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years

    To the guy who needed Palace, cash out

  30. Del Griffith
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Palace 2 shots on target and 2 goals, Everton defence nearly as bad as Man U's

    1. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      not at all, completely from howard mistakes
