With the title race back on, we turn to five Premier League encounters to keep the Gameweek rolling, before Manchester City look to maintain the Chelsea chase with three points against Everton at the Etihad.

Fantasy managers will be concentrating their attention on two venues in particular, with QPR hosting fellow strugglers Burnley at Loftus Road, whilst Arsenal and Alexis Sanchez pay visit to the Britannia to take on Stoke.

Sanchez is undoubtedly the most popular asset on show before Sergio Aguero takes to the turf this evening, as the Chilean looks to extend his run of seven goals in as many league outings. The Gunners are also chasing a third straight clean sheet, although Mark Hughes’ Potters are unlikely to give them an easy ride – the big team news from the Britannia is that Olivier Giroud earns a recall, with Danny Welbeck benched.

As for QPR, Charlie Austin will be carrying the hopes of both Harry Redknapp and a horde of Fantasy managers as he looks to continue a rich vein of scoring form when the Clarets pay visit. Danny Ings will be one to watch for the visitors in a battle of the budget strikers down at Shepherds Bush.

Elsewhere this afternoon, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen take increased ownership into the White Hart Lane encounter with Crystal Palace, whilst at Anfield, Liverpool (with Steven Gerrard benched again) will look to build on the 3-1 midweek win over Leicester with another three points against visiting Sunderland. Hull City’s Humberside date with West Brom rounds off the day’s offerings, before we take the trip to Manchester to catch the latest episode of the Aguero show.

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

    5 players between Chelsea (2) and Arsenal (3)

    It was all going so well until this week.
    Only consolation is I have 4.3m and 2ft's

    Need a serious fightback from the Gunners here.
    Not looking like it tho.

    Defence in particular all over the shop.

    Koscielny, monreal, debuchy and szez.
    a lot of players missing there!!

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't go that far, but there are plenty of top managers that can do a better job. Klopp may be available soon.

        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, cus hes having a much better season. Ironic that everybody is screaming for Wengers head and wants the bottom side in the Bundesliga to replace him. The humanity, please.

    2. TeamSteam

      He is an idiot

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I believe he predicted Arsenal to win the league and Giroud for the golden boot this season.

    3. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      whats he done now haha

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

      We're too used to these shite displays we gave up disappearing a long time ago.

      1. mojoindojo
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yep. Worse have we faced

      2. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, you ain't going to the stadium either to pay for these horrible ticket prices

  5. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    don't worry Chambers will score two goals in second half and saves us all

      Look up spellcheck first.

      1. FPLEL

        nah

      2. Zasa

    Come on Wenger, quit that job to leave Pardew as the longest serving PL manager 🙂

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      :facepalm:

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      That would just be weird

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        He's doing a good job to be fair. He's tactically astute.

        1. Alan The Llama
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Graham Carr helps immensely.

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Quit the job and let Pardew take over!

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Then Brendan would be longest serving.

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          😯 Dear oh dear the PL managerial roundabout has really been insane.

  8. Heels_Over_Head
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal look weakest before the Theo dawn.

  9. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    pools problem is too many slow players, thats why they're playing crap

    1. Lloyd Xmas
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      You need Stevie G up front.

      1. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        last person we need he's slower than a tortoise

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

      Problem is absolutely no cohesiveness and no movement. Doesnt matter if youre slow or fast if you stand still most of the time anyway

      1. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        thats because they're slow, movement comes from being fast and able to break from an opponent in this league. in la liga you can get away with slower players because their tempo of their teams are slow.

    Costa > Remy/Drogba

    Then week after, Remy/Drogba > Austin

    Plan.

  11. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Was thinking of Walters as a decent punt a few weeks back after his penalty. Looks good for his price.

  12. Joga Bonito®
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    What the hell is going on today? Any of you captain a CHE player?

    1. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Costa.

      1. Joga Bonito®
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Gutted. Win some you lose some I guess. I have Aguero (C) but he could blank as well.

        1. Wouter
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Yep, disappointing. Really expected him to come out today after having been suspended for the Spurs one, but sadly not. Not a lot of the main captain options are performing so far, it seems..

  13. il Brutto
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Is Pants a safe starter now for S'land?

  14. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    any Sanchez Captainers?

  15. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha and Bolasie wing wizard show so far.... https://vine.co/v/Orax3qKWrnP [vine]Oradq3ia5h7[/vine] - still worried though we didn't capitalise on our play. Eriksen looked dangerous and can see Chadli coming on.

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Been a theme lately though, hasn't it. Very disappointing. Ledley with the best chance of the half with that shot up above the crossbar.

  16. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Did Rooney>>Costa my bad 🙁

  17. Declan
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Stoke have done this to us before against a better Arsenal. Just sayin

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years

      I know why Arsenal bought Pennant then haha

    2. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely better.

      A whole level of Bendtner better.

  18. M4d_H4tt3r
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Why is dawson not playing? Did he lose his spot?

    1. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Probably cos i bought him this week.

  19. Art Vandelay

    Chadlillac is revving up.

    1. Lloyd Xmas
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      How do you say "Chadlillac"? 🙂

  20. Jax
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    there will be goals in all games apart from hull game in 2nd half

  21. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    this could be a veeeeeryyyy low scoring game week

    Can't believe Roy Hodgson is actually at the Brit. He's never been there and was starting to think he didn't know the way! Scribbling down Ryan's name by the end?
