Sunday moves Gameweek 29 towards its conclusion, serving up three more helpings of top-flight action. League leaders Chelsea entertain Southampton in the lunchtime kick-off, while Everton host Newcastle United and Manchester United welcome Tottenham Hotspur in the tea-time match-ups.

Sunday’s early encounter finds Chelsea attempting to recover from Champions League heartache by maintaining their lead at the summit of the Premier League – surely boosted by City’s demise at Burnley. Southampton will look to keep the title race on ice but will drop in at the Bridge having scored just two goals in their last six league outings: without a goal in his last 12, Graziano Pelle is dropped for the first time this term in one of four changes by Ronald Koeman, as Shane Long replaces the misfiring Italian.

Diego Costa’s 38% ownership will want more from the combative frontman after he came up short in his last two starts, while Eden Hazard enters this encounter with two goals in as many appearances in all competitions.

Everton strive to arrest their descent down the league table when they go head-to-head with Newcastle United at Goodison Park. Having drawn a blank in his last five league starts, Toffees’ record signing Romelu Lukaku needs to rediscover his rhythm against a defence that’s shipped 18 goals in their previous six road ties. The Toon must do without top scorer Papiss Cisse following the Senegal international’s seven-match suspension.

Manchester United can ill-afford to drop points this Gameweek as they duel fellow top-four hopefuls Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney is set to retain his lone striker berth following a goalscoring performance against Arsenal on Monday. Meanwhile, with eight goals in his last six outings, the effervescent Harry Kane will be observed keenly by 48% of all Fantasy Premier League managers, particularly after the failings of the big captain candidates – Sergio Aguero and Alexis Sanchez – in yesterday’s fixtures.

    Re-post from the bottom of last page:

    Am now very much regretting my Giroud > Austin (-4) dgw punt - question is do I engineer a reversal, taking a it in the process, or keep Austin playing at home to Everton?

    Michael Carrick. The most underrated player in the PL.

    Was at the heart of that big winning run before Christmas and his injury. 9 mins in to his first start he pulls out that assist.

    Welcome back Carrick!

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      He's called underrated so often that he's overrated.

      1. Ady87
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        This is possibly true.

    2. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Who is he?

    3. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Didn't he win uniteds play of the season award that season

      Also a pva nomination

      In team of the year

      Very underrated. ..

      1. CABAYE4
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Nah, there was just a stage earlier in the season where Spurs went 1 down and won 2-1 with a last min goal every other game.

    4. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago
