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.

      Chelsea don't do goal fests

        It would be nice for the neutral, as a treat.

      Cycling isn't silly 😡

      1. Efan Ekoku Pops
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        No it's great to do, just not much of a spectator sport unless it's on tv!

        don't understand why it's not called 'T yorkshire tour'

      2. Efan Ekoku Pops
        • 14 Years

        Yes it was the Tour De Yorkshire. It was a good field for the race - some top riders in it.

    The one time we captain Hazard he decides to play shite and blank 3 times in a row.

    1. Nabs Kebabs

      "one time" 😯

        Haha lol!

  3. Jonny Sutt

    If kolarov has played so well whilst being in the city squad, surely he'll keep Clichy out?

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

      Isn't it something about Clichy better at defending so he plays against better teams?

    2. Flycroft
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Has he actually been playing well, or has he just been doing well fantasy wise?

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Wouldn't risk it actually, I'm going with Cresswell since I need a Clyne replacement

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        What about jags?

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years

          Everton...

            • 11 Years
            11 years, 5 days ago

            Great fixtures and scores goals! They have been looking a lot more solid recently. Villa a playing very well so ignore the last game!

  8. Davido989

    Last team you want your defenders to have yellow cards is against Palace. The pace they have, ouch.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Terry will be alright but Ivanovic is a worry.

      1. @ocprodigy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        I wouldn't be so sure I reckon Bolasie is gonna have a few runs down the middle now.

  11. pundit of punts

    Would rather watch Villa than Chelsea these days.

    The bore quotient shoots up as Mourinho edges closer to titles.

    1. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years

      If city or arsenal provide a better challenge maybe it would be more interesting

  12. RoysCallerAnne

    Wishing for a Drogba hammy strain is pointless 🙁 he can't even run anymore

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

      LOL

  13. drughi
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Chelsea to get a late penalty and all us Hazard captainers jumping of joy only to be silenced when drogba steps up to take it

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

      yeah, pretty much expect that

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Drogba would never take it, hazard is a very good penalty taker

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        Whooosh

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years

      Or not so late 😉

  14. Heels_Over_Head
    • 12 Years

    would love to see Mourinho's reaction to a second yellow for Terry

  15. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Why don't we all just own Azpilicueta?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      ''risk of rotation'' I heard, still plays every game

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      because Luis is going to steal his minutes....... ; - )

    3. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Because of Luis. It's very annoying when Chelsea keep a clean sheet and Azpi doesn't start.

    4. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Because when the title is won he will be rotated.

    5. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Rotation risk.

    6. SW6
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      The imaginary Luis rotation threat.

      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Hazard initiating contact = dive.

    • @ocprodigy

      I think he's dived into that. Oh dear.
