After United and Everton got Sunday’s events underway earlier, we now have three more matches to focus on before another international break is thrust upon us. First up, the league’s last two unbeaten teams go head-to-head at the Bridge, as Chelsea take on Arsenal in one of a couple of 2.05pm kick-offs.

All eyes will be on Cesc Fabregas as he plays host to his former club but from a Fantasy perspective, we’ll be looking for Diego Costa to continue a record that has seen him score in every home appearance so far. Danny Welbeck will also be on many a radar as the Gunners prepare for an outstanding run of fixtures from Gameweek 8 onwards.

Elsewhere, Mauricio Pochettino faces a tough task to derail the Southampton bandwagon as his former club roll up to the Lane. Spurs have failed to score in each of their last two home matches and face the top-flight’s meanest backline – the likes of Ryan Bertrand, Dusan Tadic and Graziano Pelle all carry strong form into this one and have the upcoming fixtures to flourish further.

Later in the day, The Hammers welcome QPR to Upton Park in the final match of the Gameweek. Big Sam’s side have impressed in the final third in recent weeks, with Stewart Downing’s new central role and Diafra Sakho’s clinical finishing making them the standout options for the hosts right now.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Wonder what Wenger said to Mourinho this time?

    1. Djerbil

      "get a shower , U stink"

  2. fedolefan

    Shocking two matches for me so far with Costa, Cesc, Clyne and Pelle in play.

      Same here.

      On 26 points. Needing a miracle. Or a Downing 20pointer

        "Needing a miracle. Or a Downing 20pointer"

        I think if you look up "miracle" in the dictionary, it'll say "a Downing 20 pointer"

          Good job getting sarcasm bro

              Amazing thing is, it is genuinely difficult to tell with Downing this season.

              Especially ahead of a game home to QPR!

  3. rickardinho

    If chambers gets sent off here do his 4 yellows still go away as well?

    1. Pigvig
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Doesn't he get an additional match ban I.e. 2

  4. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Which def to get now as Chambers is out and double Southampton doesn't look a good idea anymore?

    1. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'd play double Soton against Sunderland.

    2. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      We don't look good because we've conceded one goal at Whitehart Lane? If that's enough to put you off, you probably shouldn't have doubled in the first place.

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Or thought about doubling.

      2. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Haven't doubled yet, but considering to. Have Forster and bringing in a def for max 6.3 this week.

    3. AlCapwnUK
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Soton look great

    4. Wax
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      How's double Southampton not a good idea

    5. Kip
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      i'm considering Mangala

      City gets a good run and he will get a few goals on set pieces imo

      1. floydy_floyd
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Rotation risk wiv demich

      2. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Mangala defensive gawd

    6. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'd keep him.

      1. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        This^

        Why would you get rid for 1 week??

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Was considering to get in Chambers or Bertrand

          1. Daniel Exeter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Ah I see, depending on what your team is I'd still consider chambers. After his match ban he has some good fixtures, guaranteed starter and a budget price.

            1. RamaJama
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years

              Thanks!

  5. FPL Daniel

    Downing to save the day IMO> Goal and assist combo upcoming

    1. Kip

      Indeed, better start practicing the shouts 😉

  8. Willis.

    Ozil useless

  9. sully29

  13. Wouter

    @neilashton_: Wenger now rowing with Rui Faria. Steve Bould then tells Mourinho's assistant to 'shut your f****** gob'.

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Bould would knock ten barrels out of all those Chelsea boys.

      Line them up.

  14. VougieDipond

    Specialist in failure really needs to sit down

  15. cheeky_ash
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    If I were wenger...I'd sub chambers off at half time. Otherwise he will walk in the 2nd half.

    1. Xhaka Kahn't
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      yep

  16. Cak Juris

    Will Dier got clean sheet if he played until 90+3 minutes?

    1. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Na

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      good question. I'm sure the answer will be 'no'

  17. Lucy.
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else think Schurrle looks poor?

    1. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Not watching this match but he does tend to blow hot and cold a bit.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      We should have gone for ADM instead of Schurrle

    3. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      His haircut isn't the greatest...but I'd say he looks middle classish

    4. Willis.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      He's a bit like Mueller. Not really a technical or skilful player but reads the game well and often pops up with a goal due to good positioning

    5. Prime
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Even more than usual

    6. Thick Of It
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yup, feeling bad for the 4k that brought in willian this week

    7. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

      I'm sure he gets a very reasonable wage, even for a Londoner.

  18. RyanC
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I didn't see the United game. Eating my ADM words a bit. Does he look like a good option even going into the tough fixtures?

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Best outfield player.

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Terrible option. Dunno why people keep crowing on about him

    3. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Fantasy gold 🙂 check out the stats..

  19. Proggy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Costa (C) looking like a mistake

  20. GunsnRoses
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Play ozil as center half and play kosc up front. Better chances to get a goal at least

  21. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone has a gif for Wenger vs Jose ?

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Or an mp3?

  22. The Light Knight

    Demel = The Guy

  23. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Dat guy

  24. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Chambers can't be earning much, he is about 12.

    How can he afford all these YCs? 😆

  25. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Time to sell Costa

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      casualeus maximus

    2. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Could do for Aguero.

    3. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Costa -> Cisse (-4)?

  26. Lingardium Leviosa.
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Soton have scored 8 of their 11 goals this season in the second half... enter Pelle 😎

  27. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Come on Tadic and Pelle now!

    1. conan_hn
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I am with you

  28. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I can't believe that I'll very likely pay 7M next week for a defender from the team that hasn't kept a CS yet and is near the relegation area 😯

  29. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Cant believe Cahill didnt get sent off... disgusting tackle.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Kosc and Chambers should also be off

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Chambers off for when he touched Schurrle? Not even a bloody foul! And Hazard was going wide. But if that means its okay to fly in with leg breakers to you, then fine.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Which bit of 'also' don't you understand?

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Yeh, and youre saying well it's okay because other player should also be off. What part of the english language are you struggle with?

            1. 7shadesofsmoke
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 7 months ago

              😆

    2. Willis.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      And Kosc and Chambers?

  30. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Wanted to get chambers for Wilson, what would be bed alternative now?
