The world expects the 2014/15 Premier League champions to be crowned this afternoon, as Chelsea host Crystal Palace at lunchtime, requiring a win to seal the title. Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur locks horns with Manchester City in the tea-time kick off as firm underdogs, given that the Sky Blues emerged victorious in seven of their previous eight meetings.

For Fantasy managers, the day is all about the clash of the captaincy candidates, as Eden Hazard and Sergio Aguero go head-to-head: the outcome could well have a significant impact on the Gameweek.

Having drawn successive blanks in the Blues’ double, Hazard will look to end the campaign on a high note when the Eagles pay a visit to Stamford Bridge – the Belgian has scored in his last two home outings. Cesc Fabregas fared slightly better in Gameweek 34, notching his 18th assist of the campaign, while Chelsea’s high-ownership defenders will be favoured to deliver a fourth clean sheet in five.

Spurs will not be relishing the clash with Manuel Pellegrini’s men, considering the North London club have shipped 15 goals in their previous three meetings. A fit and firing Aguero (four goals in three) tops the list of Mauricio Pochettino’s concerns, particularly when the Argentine frontman bagging seven of those 15 goals. Nacer Chadli (two goals in as many matches) is the hosts’ form player, with Harry Kane registering a solitary goal in his last four starts. Kane’s owners will be hoping that his quest for the Golden Boot will inspire an upturn in fortunes today.

      • 11 Years

  11. Forest4Life

    Congrats to Chelsea- far and away the best team in the league this year and anyone against their style is clearly jealous. Fair play to them 🙂

    1. Bolivian Seaman

  12. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Azpi is such a bonus magnet

  13. CHANCING PUNT
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Hazard likely to boosted beyond 1 BAP through winning goal?

    1. Pedram
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      nope, more likely to lose bap than gain

  14. Nickofoz

    • 11 Years

    Awkward if Palace score now

  15. Jairzinho

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      That can't be made up

      1. RoysCallerAnne

      Good. Now you begin your road to recovery. Just admit that your life has become unmanageable . . .

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Well played 😉 Ireland get Albrighton off the bench though! 🙂

    4. Gnu

    6. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Nice, that dents Ireland's Aguero advantage 😀

      1. Reedy
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        We'll take Albrighton's 11pts instead 😉

        1. Lawrø
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 days ago

          🙁

  25. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Surely Chelsea will rest their best players now?

    Hazard -> Sanchez a crazy move?

    1. Towsor44
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Rest for what though? 6 - 8 weeks off?

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        They won the league already so they can play a few of their youth

  26. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Very flexible Chelsea line-up, when Palace have the ball they revert to a flat back 9 with Drogba holding in front.

    1. Zombie
      • 13 Years
