Just two days after the previous Gameweek came to its conclusion, the domestic action rumbles on again as Fantasy managers brace themselves for another quick turnaround in fixtures. Gameweek 25 gets underway this evening with a quartet of matches to attract our attention, with Alexis Sanchez’ return for Arsenal at the top of many agendas.

After tasting defeat to bitter rivals Spurs at the weekend, the Gunners are looking for home comforts to bounce back immediately. Arsene Wenger’s side have won each of their last five at the Emirates and Sanchez, with four goals and as many assists in his last four home appearances, leads the way in this week’s Captain Poll, though Olivier Giroud owners have been dealt a blow after the Frenchman dropped to the bench.

Four of the bottom seven do battle in the other two 7.45pm matches. Hull will be buoyed by their battling draw away to City last time out, whilst visitors Villa will be looking to kick on after finally ending their six-match drought with a goal at home to Chelsea on Saturday afternoon.

Sunderland will fancy their chances of getting one over QPR at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats kept chalked up a 2-0 win over Burnley in their last home match and with the likes of Charlie Austin sidelined through injury, Costel Pantilimon and Patrick van Aanholt’s owners will be confident of getting amongst the points. Jermain Defoe’s two goals and an assist in three for the Wearsiders has earned him almost 130,000 new owners as Gus Poyet’s side look to take advantage of their visitors’ injury-hit rearguard.

Liverpool and Spurs go head-to-head at Anfield in the evening’s only 8pm kick-off. Raheem Sterling has failed to recover from a knock, though Daniel Sturridge starts for the home side after a handful of recent sub appearances. For the unchanged visitors, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen tasked with breaching a backline that’s chalked up four straight shut-outs after the goalless draw at Goodison on Saturday evening.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Caz > Ozil is looking tempting

    1. Barrier Freeman
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      You just know next game Caz will get the points, and Özil will fall into quicksand.

  11. rdamjan

    Is this Ozil assist? But goalkeeper saved...

  12. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Giroud will come on for Sanchez at half time

    1. Nabs Kebabs

        And everyone owns Kane so nothing happened in the last two pages.

    What is happening with Caz and Sanchez, anyone going to say what is actually happening

    1. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez seems okay now. So does Caz.

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        over hype or what? so annoying

        1. AIRMILES
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          He did look in trouble. I thought he was going off, but he's jogged it off I think.

    2. deathorglory
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      They haven't scored or assisted...

    3. Sif
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Both playing ok. Sanchez taken a bit of a knock.

      Ozil & Wally playing sharpest and taking the points though.

  15. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Kane (C) permanently?

  16. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Cazorla is a terrible pick. Get out of my team you f**king clown.

    1. deathorglory

    Some people on here were advising to get Defoe instead of Kane, the amount of crap being told here is incredible

    1. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Por que ne las dos? 😀

    2. Owd Big 'Ed
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Most are clueless. Choose wisely and make your own decisions.

    3. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Shut up

    4. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Think Defoe will score too. But longterm it has to be Kane

    5. Rasping Drive

      Buggu, is that you?

    Sanchez moving better now.. still think it's his last 2 mins though 🙁 .. kept him for 2 weeks and captained him for this 🙁
    Main rivals ignored him and bough Theo(c) and Ozil(c) 🙁

  28. Davros
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Thank you scout pickets. Would have gone sterling to Cazorla but took your advice and did ozil.
    Looks like he'll be on for at least 12 points 🙂

    Anyone else have the armband on Walcott as soon as GW24 was done updating then move it to Sanchez after seeing the lineup with him up front?

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      no, mine was always on Sanchez

      still at least Theo is a massive differential
