Wednesday evening brings another six Premier League matches our way as Gameweek 25 comes to its conclusion. Four of those fixtures get underway at 7.45pm, with league leaders Chelsea looking to strengthen their position at the summit as Everton roll up to the Bridge.

The Blues have conceded just once in their last six home matches and have dropped just two points in front of their own fans this season, with Branislav Ivanovic and Eden Hazard looking to continue the form that sees the duo sit at the top of the defender and midfielder rankings respectively in the Fantasy Premier league (FPL) game.

United have failed to convince in recent matches yet sit just one point off third spot. The fact that David de Gea is their top-scoring player in the FPL game highlights the lack of legitimate options amongst Louis van Gaal’s squad ahead of a home clash with Burnley, though with 15% and 18% ownership respectively, Angel di Maria and Wayne Rooney remain in many managers’ plans.

Southampton and West Ham go head-to-head at St Mary’s, with Sadio Mane’s new owners looking for a big performance. Having scored in each of his last four starts, the wide man was acquired by over 32,000 FPL managers prior to yesterday’s deadline. With the Hammers still hampered by a number of injury concerns, Ronald Koeman’s side will be looking to improve upon a defensive record that has seen them concede in four of their last six at St Mary’s.

Champions City head to the Britannia with Sergio Aguero in worrying form. Without a goal in his last four league outings, the Argentine has failed to convince without Yaya Toure on board, whilst last week’s shift to 4-4-2 has David Silva owners thinking twice after he was moved out wide.

At 8pm, Alan Pardew looks to get one over former club Newcastle at Selhurst Park. After raking in the points in their first two under the new man in charge, Dwight Gayle and Jason Puncheon have blanked in each of the last two, whilst Jack Colback rolls up as the Magpies’ form player after producing three goals and two assists in his last six outings.

The final match of the Gameweek sees West Brom entertain Swansea at the Hawthorns. Faith in Tony Pulis’ defence has slipped in recent matches, with Andre Wisdom owners preparing to bail out if he’s benched again. With Gylfi Sigurdsson serving the last of a three-match suspension and Wilfried Bony off to City, Garry Monk’s side may struggle to improve a record that’s seen them fail to score more than once in the last ten Gameweeks.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      They don't play with a formation. LVG says they do but watch them...it's a mess...

    We're so poor at Burnley we made our 3rd kit from tin foil.

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years

      You'll be worth more than Ajax with this new TV money apparently

      1. Sif
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        we won't get it, unless we stay up...

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I think they prefer to link it to a knight in shining armour...

  12. Chelskimagi
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Everton are such cheats. No skills

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          lol. Got multiple browsers open, was looking at the Newcastle game time

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Ok...fitting in well.

    3. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Just dived when he probably should have passed

      So fitting in well

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Looks impressive so far, involved a lot in Chelsea's attacking plays

  14. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Which one is united? Silver? They're good...

  15. Declan
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    City still no shot on target 😕

  16. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Ings is looking a real option again, why did I plump for Defoe??!

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Watch ndoye on the weekend. His next 4 fixtures are nice and could be a good differential.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Hull have enough about them to warrant N'Doye?

  17. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Really poor decision from Fernandinho, should have squared it for Aguero to finish.

  18. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Rooney touches it in places that don't matter.

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      You been talking to Coleen?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        My grandmother told me.

    2. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Would you like it more to the right or left? Or higher up?

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Deeper

  19. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Fernandinho having a mare

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Disgusting.

  20. LOCO ABREU
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    What a great chance for Craig Dawson (West Brom). He times his jump excellently when he leaps high to meet a precise cross from the corner, putting his towering header inside the left post, but the goalkeeper denies him with a miraculous save.

  21. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Oh my Kun...

  22. Chelskimagi
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hazard is a god with the ball

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Until its a world cup or champions league knockout stage game

  23. Raddy
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Only 1 shot so far from West Ham..Saints CS looking good so far.

  24. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    It really is terrifying not owning Ivanovic

  25. Barrier Freeman
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    *finger hovering over the Kun out button*

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not now

    2. Barrier Freeman
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      *Cancels finger*

  26. JayBomb
    • 14 Years

    Ivan playing super up front for Chelsea tonight!

  27. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Ivan struggling

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He'll be fine

  28. MBK 42
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hazard close again!

  29. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Tekkers from Howard to gather that ball. Chelsea goal imminent me thinks.
