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

  7. Yome
    • 14 Years

    Good chance that an arsenal mid will eventually make way for Giroud in the next game.

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

    Btw who's on penos? Caz or Alexis?

    1. Kurt Zouma
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Cazorla

    2. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Caz

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

      It'll be Cazorla

    4. Monk
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Caz 100%. Sanchez took one and it was terrible.

    5. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Caz. like he is always.

  16. Niz Super X1
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Please Sanchez please score

  17. Kurt Zouma
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Toss up between Alexis and Ozil. Chose Alexis due to panic. Doesn't look to be fairing too well so far.

    1. mouldy_uk
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It's what most people have done, wouldn't beat yourself up about it

      1. Kurt Zouma
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Luckily have the armband on Hazard.

        1. mouldy_uk
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          There you are, something positive 🙂

    2. Baby Cuties
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      same. wish i'd worked through the permutations more thoroughly beforehand.

      preparation eh

      1. Kurt Zouma
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        My advice through the week was that Sanchez's points would drop with Ozil's return. Didn't take it myself though.

        1. Baby Cuties
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          always hard to act contrary to the masses though, isnt it

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

    That was a pen

  19. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Well that's handball :/

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

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

      Prefer SAK.

      My rivals can eat my SAK etc

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

      Probably. Expensive though, so 3-5-2 for me.

    3. womf
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      that's what I have

  21. deathorglory

    1. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

    2. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

    3. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      But I haven't captained him next week. I've captained him this week. #shorttermism

    4. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

  22. Cheggers v2
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Stfu about Sanchez now Christ, going back to my cheggers name to sort this out if it continues

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Oh no please don't, Cheggers was a w@nker

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years

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

    What is Wenger thinking?

    Cue Sanchez popping a knee...

  24. Yome
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Stupid ref, this was a clear pen for Arsenal

  25. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    seems to work out, oezil, walcott(c) and no sanchez

  26. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    No Panti CS, no Defoe goal, nothing from Cazorla, nothing from captain Sanchez. It's going to be a good GW.

    1. Niz Super X1
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Ditto

      1. Cheggers v2
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        It's half time

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

      Caz should have had a pen there. One is coming just need to hope he stays on to take it.

  27. womf
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Glad I went Ozil and Walcott instead of Sanchez

  28. Timtastic03
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez left, Ozil up top?

    1. Timtastic03
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nvm, seem to have switched back

  29. Saniul
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years

    2. Woy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago
