All eyes will be on Arsenal this afternoon, with the Gunners travelling to Old Trafford in the first of their double Gameweek fixtures. Meanwhile, Man City look to strengthen their hold on second place when they lock horns with Swansea at the Liberty in the earlier lunchtime kick off.

Swansea face a tough task trying to contain the league’s form forward, Sergio Aguero, when the Sky Blues pay a visit. The Argentinian marksman boasts eight goals in five starts for City, having registered a hat-trick and two assists last time out. David Silva has also delivered strong Fantasy returns in recent weeks, notching one goal and three assists in his last two starts. However, Garry Monk’s may just have an ace of their own up their sleeves, with leading striker Bafetimbi Gomis scoring a dramatic late winner on his return from injury against Arsenal. The former Lyon marksman tallied four goals in as many appearances and will threaten a City defence seeking their fourth shut-out in five Gameweeks.

Manchester United recovered from a three-match losing streak last weekend, recording a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Juan Mata (four goals in seven) and Marouane Fellaini (three goals in eight) account for the Red Devils’ only two goals in the past four Gameweeks, in light of Wayne Rooney failing to net in five. Olivier Giroud is experiencing a similar downturn in form for visitors Arsenal – having drawn blanks in four consecutive matches; Alexis Sanchez has partly compensated for Giroud’s demise, with three goals in five starts. Meanwhile, Aaron Ramsey has been the North Londoners’ most consistent player of late, delivering attacking returns in four of his previous seven outings. The Welshman is a slight injury doubt going into today’s encounter, with Fantasy managers eagerly anticipating Arsene Wenger’s teatime teamsheet.

    Wow..milner goal of his life.

    1. Heels_Over_Head

      10 years, 6 months ago

      Hasn't he been in the Prem since he was 16? Think he's had others of note.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Hames Milner.

    3 games in a row City have scored from the opponents corner. Kolarov deserves an assist for giving it away 😉

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Well placed dive 😉

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Surprised the officials didn't give it. They always do for defenders.

    Such fantastic football by City.

    Superb stuff..!!

    Can't wait for next season already.

    1. Hibbopotamus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Think they're the only real challengers for Chelsea going into next year. If they can get someone to cover for Mangala they'll be set

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Arsenal with a few signings should challenge as well imo.

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          I'm sure people say that every season, but they don't seem to buy the players needed to make it happen.

  4. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    We want 3!

    1. pundit of punts
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      More like 5.

    2. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      How about 6? 😉

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yes please.

        Kun brace.

  5. The Bandit

    Takes a special player to assist Milner two weeks running. 😀

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      One more week and you can make a Cleverly comparison.

    2. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      If Milner had touches like that last week City could have hit double figures

    3. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      😀

  6. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Need Swansea to get a goal before half time or city will prob sit back for the second half

    1. GREENDREAMS11
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      keep it quiet over there please

    2. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      City aren't Chelsea, they just keep attacking.

  7. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    It would really pain me to see Milner leave in the summer. 🙁

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Utd fan?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        🙄

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Why doesn't he ever play in CM for you lot?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        It's his defensive qualities that we need on the wing.

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Wasted on the wing, that's why he'll be leaving for Liverpool/Arsenal

          1. pundit of punts
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            🙁

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Underrated in my opinion, mainly because he can play a few positions. He was good at Villa when given a central midfield place.

  8. BeachBadger
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    SOmetimes I just want SIlva to go himself 😆

  16. Ziro Becomes One
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    There have already been so many transfers made for GW38. Those are the ones not truly 'with it' with the correct strategy imo. Budget considerations are a problem but for a GW38 i guess all bets are off on performance and we can only take care of fitness issues of news comes in.

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Disgruntled Kane/every Liverpool outfield player owners.

  17. Norfolk&Chance
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Should I be nervous not having Hazard this week? Got rid last week which worked out...planning on getting back in for next...

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      All it takes is one hazard goal for a red arrow

      1. Norfolk&Chance
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        True.. only thing I can fall back on slightly is having 5 DGW players which the 77% Haz owners may not...

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah.
