Sunday’s events continue with both Merseyside teams in action as Everton host Leicester City at Goodison and Liverpool make the testing trip to the south coast to take on Southampton.

It’s four home matches without a win for Everton as they host Nigel Pearson’s Foxes – a team that have lost four on the bounce going into today’s meeting. Leighton Baines, who’d notched assists in two of his last five appearances before succumbing to injury, is back in contention after being passed fit by Roberto Martinez on Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku has registered a solitary goal in the past 11 Gameweeks, but heads into this fixture with momentum, having recorded his first hat-trick for the Toffees in their midweek Europa tie. Likewise, the Belgian’s opposite number, Andrej Kramaric, arrives in fine fettle having netted in the Leicester’s past two matches in all competitions.

Gameweek 26 concludes with a clash between Champions League hopefuls Southampton and Liverpool at St Mary’s Stadium, as Brendan Rodgers’ unit attempt to extend their unbeaten run to 10 league matches. Daniel Sturridge has delivered a goal and two assists in three appearances since recovering from injury, whilst fit-again Raheem Sterling has notched two goals and assists in his previous six league matches. The Reds face a tough task in breaching a Saints backline that has served up a clean sheet in eight of their 13 St Mary’s matches, though, whilst Ronald Koeman will be desperate for Graziano Pelle to get amongst the goals to end an eight-match barren run.

    Thank you God for the goal conceded by Southampton.

    Too many people having their defenders. Too easy decision imo.

    If he didn't dive at the start... He would've got a penalty that time, imo.

    I didn't see who shot originally, just saw it going in and I thought that maybe Sterling had got it but then I remembered he was in my team so that was clearly impossible.

    Coutinho in my Fantrax squad, right where he belongs.

  19. PogChamp

    That Couts goal should take me to 85 points. Finally a good GW after 5 weeks of hell.

    1. tm245

      Wow, great score. Go for the century.

      1. PogChamp
        • 14 Years

        No chance of that. Super happy with score though.

    2. Pasqualinho

      That's not a good GW - that's a great one.

    Liverpool is one of the premier league brands protected by the referees. Enough said.

    1. blauriecon
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      NBA the same way.

    2. Wings of Steel
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      If that was the case they should have won the league last year. To bad decision v chelsea and city cost them enough

        1. Licky
          • 13 Years

          Liverpool have had some terrible refereeing this year against teams not considered 'top'.

        Uh-oh. Has this become a global game?

  21. tm245

    Has Ibe been playing pretty consistently?

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He's been brilliant just about every game.

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

        Agreed, the guy's a workhorse and positions so well of the ball.

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          He's a surprisingly natural defender considering where he normally plays.

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

            Aye, I'm glad BR's giving him a run for this game, kid's class.
            Wouldn't be surprised to see him score this game

      2. tm245
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        That price could enable so much. Looks very promising.

    Dawson(WBA) nailed lads?

    1. davies

      Yep.

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Take him over lescott and keep cash?

        1. davies
          • 11 Years

          Certainly.

    2. Reedy

      1. HVT

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

            I don't think an attack-minded defender is a luxury Sunderland can afford now

            1. HVT
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years

        • 11 Years

        I'll trade Baird for Dawson and keep PvA in my "Baird" role as bench warmer defender guy. I don't have the luxury to trade two cheap defenders...

  23. davies

          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks, but it isn't unlucky, I ruined my team on the wild card.

          Went for Oscar captain as a differential this week, which didn't hurt as badly as it could have. And Baird is my second best defender.

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

            You would've had reasoning behind those, though. I finally shipped Baird and Cameron.

      67, all done. Pretty similar. Disappointed in the lack of big points from either Kane or Baines today. I had high hopes for a huge week to make up for some disasters, but will take the 67 (along with the lack of Solon shutout as I've got no saints defenders).
