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

    2 free transfers for this week. Sterling and Tadic to ADM and Hendo. Yes or No?

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

      Not a good time to shift Tadic.

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I also have Pelle. Just a bit scared not owning ADM as he looks to be near essential at the moment.

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years

      knee jerk

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

  12. Debauchy
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Always expected to lose this one. Think Arsenal did ok . Preferred a 2-1 but yeah.

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

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

        Assume that's Fab, ADM, Sterling, Siggy, Costa, Aguero, Ulloa/Pelle + dribs and drabs from defenders.

        1. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Dribs and drabs sums up my defence this week!

  26. Professor Abel X
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    So the Costa vs Aguero (c) debate has ended up irrelevant

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

      Yup, completely.

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

      Good thing i went with Sterling ! 😀

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

    No shame in losing 1-0 at the Lane. We weren't quite on it today but we march on!

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      We really did have an off day today Lucy. I guess it shows how average Spurs are under Poch if they only beat us 1 nil.

  28. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago
