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

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years

      Ozil

  7. Gooner97

    Sanchez subbed before the 2nd half imho, he just can't keep going on like this.

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

      Possibly. At 2-0 it seems a daft risk, but he clearly wants to play - I didn't see him look over at the bench. He looked to have shrugged it off for the last 10, but yes, I suspect Wenger will take him off.

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Sadly, captain fail.

  18. Isco Disco

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

      He scores well in almost every game.

  19. Hamstergod

      I captained Cazorla and didn't have a chance to change due to wifi issues. Will he come out for the second half.

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years

      Alexis who? 😆

    3. Coaly
      • 13 Years

      injured and subbed

  27. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Rival bought sold SAnchez last week and bought Wally(c) in this week and ignored Sanchez.. while i kept Sanchez and captained him.
    Thought it would be a season defining moment but not in a bad way like this 🙁 .. surprised if we see Sanchez come out 2nd half tbh

  28. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Dont worry, the 10239 posts that state they dont see Sanchez playing the 2nd half will create a monumental jinx. 90 minutes for Alexis.

  29. Demí
