Sunday delivers a trio of teams tussling for a top-four spot. Arsenal begin proceedings, with Arsene Wengerβs men seeking to recover from a damaging 2-0 reverse at St Maryβs: the Gunners host a dangerously unpredictable Stoke the Emirates.
Following that, itβs a Dutch Maestro face-off, as Man United and Southampton clash at Old Trafford. Louis van Gaalβs side will put their 10-match unbeaten run on the line against Ronald Koemanβs revived Southampton, buoyed by three wins in the last four.
Fantasy managers will be fixated on the returns of Alexis Sanchez against the Potters as he looks to take the opportunity to topple Eden Hazard atop the Fantasy Premier League midfield rankings. With just a single goal in the last six Gameweeks, another big Sanchez haul is overdue. Weβll also have an eye on Olivier Giroud β back from suspension and bidding to come into our Wildcard equation. Equally, Theo Walcottβs pitch time will be of keen interest β returns for the 8.9-priced midfielder could yet disrupt the template currently being formed.
Angel Di Maria is already part of that Wildcard template, with the Argentine expected to be handed a first start since Gameweek 12 when the Saints pay visit. His role and the impact on Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata is likely to occupy our analysis, while Southamptonβs defence will also come under scrutiny against a United attack thatβs fired 22 goals at Old Trafford.
