The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

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

                Nice! Clean sheets from Curtis Davies and Gary Cahill the difference then?

                I'm actually surprised that I haven't seen any other scores above 80. My team is hardly full of differentials... maybe Hazard, but the other option Fabregas did well also.

    I want to hold on to Naismith. They have decent fixtures coming up but it depends on Barkley's return. Any concrete update on Barkley's return date? Thanks.
