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

    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.
