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.

    I am absolutely gutted for Aguero. Even if he is only out for 2 weeks, he wont get that form back for a long long time

      2 weeks is nothing. I'd be worried if he is out for 4 weeks or more.

    There goes my Baines CS and pretty much any hope of breaking 30 mark this week.

    At least Yaya converts the penalty, surely a big differential in the top 10k

    1. Guidinho
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Quite a bit of luck to get the goal due to Aguero's injury but its all part of the game

    Unbelievable.

  5. Elfozzie 42

    That is the softest penalty I think I've ever seen. No one even appealed.

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

      Yaya appealed 😀

  7. Salfpilgrimlfc

    Wow that's why Aguero will never be best in the world, if he was on football manager his injury proneness would be 20

    1. Elfozzie 42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I think he probably is in Football Manager... 😉

      Called what? That Aguero would get injured and City get awarded a ridicolously cheap penalty?

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

        Check it

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

    Aguero would have scored that penalty

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

      He missed v Everton last season...

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      That's what makes his injury all the more painful from a fantasy perspective
