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

      I'm never offended, I just think it perfectly describes the sport. If you didn't know anything about Sport you could see the word football and know it predominately uses a ball and feet to move it.

      If Aliens came down and went to America to watch their football, think they'd wonder why the ball nots very ball shaped and they use their hands.

        lol very true, but by now the game is so far-reaching it don't even matter what it's called. and the aliens will easily wrap their tentacles around the concept, give they were smart enough to fly thru space 😀
