After yesterday’s disappointing start, many Fantasy managers will be looking for some of Sunday’s heavy hitters to come to the rescue.

A couple of 1.30pm kick-offs get us underway. Community Shield winners Arsenal welcome West Ham to the Emirates before Steven McClaren takes charge of Newcastle for the first time in the top-flight as in-form Southampton roll up to St James’ Park.

Stoke play host to big-spending Liverpool in the late kick-off, with Brendan Rodgers’ side looking to immediately avenge their 6-1 mauling at the Britannia in the final league fixture of 2014/15.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Giroud is a donkey. It was only pre-season however Arsenal were looking sharp and Theo was playing up top. Criminal from Wenger to tamper with that and play the lump instead. They deserve what they get

      For weeks i've been saying that West Ham was going to score against Arsenal, although i wanted(and was expecting) my man Sakho to score....hopefully he'll get the second one. Between Manè, Sakho, Cedric getting a yellow card and Theo on the bench this looks disastrous. I've even ditched Pellè for Manè.
