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.

    Does anyone know if Dembele is likely to be a consistent starter?
    Could he be the Chadli of the second half of the season?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Seems to have replaced Chadli, his move up to behind the strikers is working well

    That not at all awkward moment when you have both main strikers in a 2-2.

    1. Sheep
      • 12 Years

    3. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      His H2H rival benched Kane.

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 26 days ago

        😀

  21. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    What the hell was I thinking benching Harry Kane knowing full well Giroud was on the bench. I'm now done with this game this year.

    1. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      I have no idea what you were thinking benching the most in form striker in the league. He's scoring more points than Aguero was in his purple patch.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Why would you bench Kane 😯

    3. Tony Warner Fan Club
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      That was p. dumb.

  22. KeepCalm
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 26 days ago

    So i dared to bench Kane this GW. Feck this game

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      1. KeepCalm
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 26 days ago

        Wanted to play Defoe and Walters

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 26 days ago

          Lol

        2. Seb Wassell
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 26 days ago

          Fair I suppose, but very surprised you benched arguably the form striker in the league.

          1. KeepCalm
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 26 days ago

            Yeah that is very unlike me...meh, all my lead gone

    1. Sheep
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      Hey Demi. Why did you predict Giroud starting?

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 26 days ago

  26. Mílanista

  27. Scab

  28. Not Irish

    Remember when Harry Kane was a differential...

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 26 days ago

      I got him 2 games before his Chelsea haul and still thought it's too late lol

      1. The Mighty I
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 26 days ago

        To be honest I didn't get on the Kane train until very late, pretty much essential now.
