Rounding off the weekend’s entertainment, there are a quartet of teams battling for supremacy at opposite ends of the country. Liverpool search for their first in win three outings when they host Stoke City, while Tottenham Hotspur duel with Manchester United at White Hart Lane.

Liverpool’s attack is in fine fettle ahead of their double next Gameweek, given that they managed the joint-third-most goals (eight) and second-most shots on target (27) over their last four matches. However, prospective investors will be concerned that the Reds possess the joint-third-worst shot-conversion rate (8%) in home matches. As for the Potters, they’ve recorded one clean sheet in 10 matches yet conceded the joint-second-fewest big chances (two) across their previous four fixtures.

Spurs maintained their attacking dominance during the last four Gameweeks, registering the joint-third-most goals (eight), most attempts (80), joint-most big chances (10) and most shots on target (31). As for the Red Devils, they ranked joint-third-bottom for goals (three), third-bottom for attempts (36), second-bottom for shots inside the box (18) and joint-third-bottom for shots on target (10), augmenting the Lilywhites’ clean-sheet prospects.

    7. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Played up front just the other day against Chelsea U21s too, and worked tirelessly.

      van Gaal was in attendance.

  5. Fred54

    DDG owners should be greatful LvG bothers to play him in goal.

    1. Your Man With The Hair
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      You couldn't do any worse up front than Rooney...

  6. tm245

    10 years, 2 months ago

    Four goals from Liverpool and no Firmino involvement is a rough one.

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Reminds me of that 6-1 game...

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yep, I wouldn't have done anything differently.

  7. Ziro Becomes One
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    ANYBODY whose current WC team is outscoring his previous team?

    No one? Thought so.

    Well done non-wildcarders.

    1. 420king
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years

      ML rival brought in Moreno and Iwobi.

      Thanks.

  8. sergioaguero67
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Someone please tell me Origi is a better pick than Firmino for the DGWs!
    2 goals already
    Plus a consistent performer.
    The kid's on fire!

    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Young also played as no.9 in the U21 team. From what I heard he was terrible... But then it's LVG.

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He played thete for Villa a few times back in the day.

    2. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I really hope he gets the boot this summer

  9. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Can Coutinho come on please, will only be annoyed at Lanzinis disallowed goal if he comes on for Coutinho.

  10. Clumsy Sakho
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Was all set Ivan and Bolasie to Smalling and Firmino
    Now considering Ivan Bolasie and Lukaku to Sturridge Smalling and 7.4 mid

  11. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    If Rooney is benched for AVL, Martial (C) could be immense

  12. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    How is Martial looking?

    Worth getting in for a hit?

  13. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    FFS Lucas on, Coutinho not coming on.

  14. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    LvG is off his rocker

  15. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    There we go no Coutinho

  16. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Young TC confirmed.

  17. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    LvG is such a looney tune...

  18. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Lucas on

  19. The Algerian Dream
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Yess Coutinho stays on bench

  20. tm245
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Wow, Young's positioning.

  21. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    So Martial is a striker, Young & Lingaard most effective out wide, Mata delivers best from the no10 position.
    LvG has none of them playing in those positions. Filoshoffee.

  22. Shirokov(c)
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Van Gaal is a tool. Young up top and Martial still out wide?

  23. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    3 Liverpool players today and none of them show up for my team 😀

  24. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Juhuuuuu Vardy off the bench for Coutinho.Sigh 🙂

  25. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Giving Sturridge 90 and Coutinho 0, Lanzini comes off the bench and his disallowed goal now seriously gutting me!

  26. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    3 times Stoke and Liverpool have met this season, all 1-0s.

    4-1 today so far. As ever, the stats that will work for you (cough Lie CS) will also fool you.

    Ashley Young has now played RW, RB, LW, LB, LM, and CF this season.

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Difference between LM and LW? (Genuine question)

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Just going by transfermarkt. I'd imagine the LW might actually be LWB anyway

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I'm guessing LM in 442 or LW in 4231/433

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Ah 🙂

    2. A.T
      • 15 Years
