The new Premier League champions return to home soil for their coronation as Everton pay a visit. The Foxes are unbeaten in 10 match-ups but might lack a psychological edge following their title triumph, while the Toffees snapped a seven-match winless streak with a victory over Bournemouth last Gameweek.

Leicester’s attack has excelled across their previous four outings, recording nine goals and two more big chances (12) than any other team. Furthermore, only two clubs (Manchester City and Southampton) boast a superior shot-conversion rate (13.1%) in home clashes than the Foxes. Although Claudio Ranieri’s squad have conceded just three goals in four fixtures, the fact they’ve allowed the sixth-most shots inside the box (35) offers some hope to the visitors.

The Toffees are in desperate need of an attacking spark, given that they placed joint-fourth-bottom for goals (three), bottom for attempts (31), bottom for shots inside the box (14) and joint-second-bottom for big chances (two) across their previous quartet of encounters. It’s worth noting, however, that Everton chart joint-third for big chances (39) and joint-fourth-bottom for goals conceded in road ties (19), illuminating their decent away form.

    Hopefully we have the same repeat as the last DGW. We was all ditching points and doing crap in the first game, the second game got us all back in the points again!

    Vardy giving Aguero and Kane extra motivation to score in the race for the golden boot

    Leicester are just taking the piss

  12. ekul the lokonga enthusiast

    im 40 points clear in my ML and ever since my 100 point break in gw 34, iv been complacent and im slipping ever since . i just want the season to be over. last year i was dead last in the same ML!

  13. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years

    a fuchs goal would have made me happy, been my old reliable since jan

  14. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Honestly might just stick £100 on Leicester to win the league again next season. 33/1 is ridiculous odds, they are a way better team than everyone else

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I will take that bet

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        You'd have to offer me a sophisticated cash out option

        1. JJO
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          You give me 100 pounds and I will buy you a half season membership whenever you want 😉

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Pep, mourinho, klopp all improving their teams will have some say I think

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        None of them have the team spirit Leicester have

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          very true, that counts for alot

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Are you sure it's 33/1? should be 1/33!

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      But Leicester will have to play on another front next season. No way they will be able to avoid injuries as they have done this year.

    Are the BPS totals finalised for the three o'clock games? Surprised to be getting five bonus at the moment from Daniels and Azpilicueta.

    1. VS10_

      Yep

        Game of Thrones. Maybe I forgot an apostrophe or something...

  17. Bøwstring The Carp

    Really hope Liverpool don't get Europe next year from an FPL perspective

    Woould lump on them to win the league if that was the case

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      They were supposed to have done that already. Infact Man Utd also had a season without Europe and did poorly in the league.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        One does play well in the league with Louis van Gaal in charge.

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yes but look at what LVG has them playing like at the moment 😕

        Klopp actually plays intense football that gets goals

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'll be okay with loading up on Chelsea assets. 🙂

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Liverpool further away from winning the league than Man City, Arsenal or Spurs next year, regardless of European football, they need a consistent goal scorer, much better keeper, and better wide options in my opinion

  18. JÆKS ⭐

    How good/bad is 27 with 11 players left (and Payet TC which I didn't count)

      It's good. Top 10k average currently 19.5 -4

    2. Kun Tozser

      31 with 18 to play

      -20

  19. RoysCallerAnne

    Were there any comments from VG or Guus regarding Rashford or Pedro?
    I'm hoping both were not on subs bench because of injury.
    Means I could cheer on Sanchez and Ozil tomorrow.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

      Rashford was rested

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

        Manchester United ✔ ‎@ManUtd
        Louis van Gaal says Daley Blind and Marcus Rashford are rested today due to the high number of games they have played lately. #mufc

        Sadly true 😆

          • 12 Years

          Yeah, so much hope for a strong finish, trust we will all be back though

  20. HamezMace

    Has this season made you question all the in depth analysis and logical conclusions we all come to on here.

    Nothing seems to make sense this season!

    Since when did villa stop conceding goals, when did Rondon or Borini become options to consider?

    1. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sort of. back to normal next I think

    Can't imagine life as a footballer gets much better than what the Leicester players are experiencing now.

      Winning the World Cup ?

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Never understood this, surely for the 4/5 people who backed Leicester with £5 there are thousands who backed the usual top 6 with £100-500?
