We’re treated to two final showdowns before the curtains are drawn on Gameweek 31. The Manchester clubs clash at the Etihad as the battle for the Champions League places intensifies, while title-chasing Tottenham Hotspur are visited by a Bournemouth side that’s recorded three successive wins.

Both City and United have flattered to deceive from an attacking perspective across their last four matches: United netted five goals and accrued the joint-fourth-fewest attempts (40), while the Sky Blues placed in the bottom seven for shot-conversion rate (8.3%). At the other end of the pitch, City allowed the fewest shots inside the box (11) of any side but still retrieved the ball from the net on as many occasions (five) as United.

Spurs tallied 16 more attempts (88) and 10 more shots on target (36) than any team across their previous quartet of league encounters, yet they suffered from a 6.8% shot-conversion rate. In contrast, Bournemouth produced some clinical finishing over their last four and subsequently placed joint-third for shot-conversion (16.7%). The Cherries have also shown improved defensive form with just three goals conceded in their last five road trips. However, Tottenham can perhaps take comfort from the fact that only Norwich City have conceded more big chances away from home than Eddie Howe’s side.

  13. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Demichelis is a liability

    At fault for every United chance and now gets Hart injured

    Please take him off

  14. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Demichelis has given a goal away and now injured his keeper. What a man.

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      What a moron

  15. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hart broken

  16. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bring on Caballero for Demichelis and put Hart at CB. I'm sure our defense would be better.

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Willy bandwagon for dgw

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      No Hart

  18. Acquafresca

    Is Kasper Schmeichel English?

    1. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No Sir. Born in Denmark but grew up in England

    2. kijsberg
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Huh? He's probably lived there for most his life, but he's danish.

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's played for Denmark.

    4. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Danish.

    5. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      German as far as I know.

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Or Danish, or French, anyone would have his talents for their squad.

    6. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably eligable for both Denmark & England

  19. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs or Leicester are going to be champions. What a season

  20. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Willy to rise for the occasion

    1. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He may flop.

  21. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    This game needs an Alli goal
    The other game needs a Kun goal

  22. Jimmers

    Cue the Willy posts!

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pelle's got his Willy out

  23. Sif
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Really wish Mark had stuck with his no-Aguero tactic all those weeks ago.

  24. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Butland was already ahead of Hart, he certainly is now

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No international experience at all. Huge blow for the national team if it's a long term injury.

      1. RoyaleBlue
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I disagree, I'd like to see the other keepers (Butland, Forster) given a chance to prove their worth. Hart shouldn't just be an auto-pick because he's always the keeper.

  25. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Willy wonka

  26. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best Hart replacement?

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The guy on the other side of the field

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Willy now

  27. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hart off

    Aguero on penos!

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      3-2

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        My way of saying +1, seen as though they've taken away that right.

  28. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Didn't look good

    Hart put pressure on his leg and couldn't support himself

    Wonder if he's torn a ligament

  29. 50 Shades Oshea

    anyone wildcarding this week with internationals and an extra ft in 35 if needed, thoughts?

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years

      Not me

    2. FPLzebub

        Nice, really tempting, just worried by injuries beforehand
