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.

    Carrick celebrating against old club. Disgrace!

      he's a west ham lad aint he?

      How is it a disgrace?

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

        Tottenham have him a really well paid job and now he's celebrating their downfall. Ungrateful, and overrated.

        1. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          he played really well for them and earned them an overinflated transfer fee.

          I don't think he owes Spurs anything - he was established at WHU before they bought him so its not like they gave him his break

          Simmer down. There's too much of this pish these days, people just looking to get offended. United pay his wages, they're his priority.

          • 14 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          And if anything I'd say he's underrated. One of the best passers of a ball the Premier League's ever had.

    quick! Hazard -> Carrick to beat the rise!

    Going to have to throw Bacuna or Benteke off the bandwagon to make room for Carrick now, 🙂

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

      Aye, you can't have 'em all, Gnu 🙂

      I think I advised you to play Krul . Sorry about that I hope you ignored me 🙂 . I definitely gave someone some bad advice anyway

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

    3. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      i look forward to seeing his effort on goal hit his standing leg, deflect off his arse cheek and find the goalscorer.

  22. BabyB
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Lukaku assist.

    Dreadful goalkeeping.

  24. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Completely forgot there was another match happening.

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

    Tottenham still a soft team really. Will they ever change long term?

  26. AlCapwnUK
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    At least all my players started this week. But that is so far the sum total of their efforts

    Foster/Myhill
    Bertie, Clyne, Reveillere, Naughton, Wasi
    Hazard, Silva, Wally, Eriksen, Boyd
    Aguero, Kane, Austin

    2FT
    Going for Wally --> Siggy; Austin --> Costa

    But also considering doing Rev --> Toby for a -4...madness?

  27. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Is Sanchez still the best arsenal midfield option? Or do people think Ramsay will pick up more points from now till the end if the season? Who is playing in the hole?

        1. Charlie&TheLads
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          What does my age have to do with a factual statement?

    Anyone who didn't see the Everton goal, wait till you see Krul's clanger

  29. Optimus.

    Imagine playing 5.9m for a Spurs defender

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

      I once paid 14m for 2 Everton defenders. Vert sounds like a bargain by contrast
