Fantasy managers are treated to three more fixtures this evening as double Gameweek 37 comes to a potentially dramatic conclusion. First up in the earlier kick-offs, Norwich entertain Watford and Sunderland go head-to-head with Everton at the Stadium of Light as the battle to beat the drop intensifies.

After seeing off Chelsea on Saturday, Sam Allardyce’s men are in the driving seat as they look to seal top-flight survival for another season. The Black Cats have scored seven times in their previous four but, like their visitors, sit inside the bottom five for attempts inside the box over that period, with 24 to the Toffees’ mere 16, which is joint-bottom along with Palace.

In terms of defensive data, though, Sunderland have every reason for optimism tonight. Everton have allowed their opponents a massive 63 shots inside the box in the previous four – that’s at least 19 more than any side and almost double their hosts’ 32.

Four points behind the Black Cats with two matches remaining, Norwich are in need of a miracle. The Canaries are the only side that have failed to find the net in their last quartet of league fixtures, though the defensive numbers on offer from visitors Watford afford Alex Neil’s side a degree of hope – the Hornets sit second-bottom for shots conceded inside the box (44).

In the later kick-off, Liverpool and Chelsea go head-to-head at Anfield. Despite making numerous alterations to his recent team sheets as a result of Europa League exertions, Jurgen Klopp’s side still lead the way for attempts on goal over their last four – a total of 80 is some distance ahead of their visitors’ 49. Furthermore, the Merseysiders also better the Blues for efforts in the box (41 to 33) as they look to clinch victory in their final Anfield fixture of the season.

    Rival has Mannone so cover with PVA?

  7. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Vito & Kaboul steam rolling PVA in the bps. Quite annoying

    1. Jones Town
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

  8. Patio Kev

    Was only a few weeks back that Newcastle fans were cheering on Sunderland to beat Norwich.

    Seems amazing to think about that now.

  9. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years

    PVA winning goal baps to be added?

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

    Not much to play for on the final day then

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Just up the top.

    2. Jay_
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Wonder what 3 games Sky will show? City, Arsenal, United probably

    3. Del Griffiths
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nope, pity. Makes team selection even more of a reality.

  11. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Not having PVA really hurts

  12. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Kane will destroy Newcastle next week then

  13. Big Sum
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    It's amazing how those DWs can turn a below average season to a good one

  14. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Currently on 120 points as things stand... come on Hazard!

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

    RAGE ALERT

    Hope Liverpool lose the EL final and miss out on Europe for all of their tinkering.
    Hope Everton get relegated next season.
    Hope United keep Van Gaal.

    Bah Humbug! 😡

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Don't you own Redmond? And you're still angry?

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

        Playing for my ML

        Rivals had PVA and Hazard 🙄 just can't catch a break. I make up the points somewhere and then lose them elsewhere. It's infuriating 🙁

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

      Carp is like a sophisticated Daniel. There I said it.

    3. drughi
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      go away you have 15 points from redmond, stop complaining

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

        Means nothing when your ML leader has Hazard and PVA though

        Rank is irrelevant for me at this point, all about the ML

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

    Can't believe how Hazard has just decided to be insanely good again. That touch 😯

  17. ralfb
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Play haz against leicester or get sanchez for -4?

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Play Haz, get Sanchez.

      1. ralfb
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Would be ideal, if money allows

        1. VS10_
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Then Sanchez

    Lukaku Studge Defoe

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

      Studge & Lukaku out

      Long & Kun in

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku and studge

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Why sell Defoe?

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Studge -> DONKEY!

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        To do Lukaku to Kun as well?

    4. Ross Geller
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku & Studge --> Aguero, Kane, Martial (pick your 2)

      1. Ross Geller
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry forgot about Giroud and Long. Really good options for last gw of the season

  21. Pards Against Humanity
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years

      Time to lay off those cookies

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

    Sat on Delaney to PVA for a hit and didn't go for it. 🙁

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    On the other hand Rafa got relegated!!! So happy!!

    1. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Didn't he win you the FA Cup and Europa League?

  24. TheTinman
    • 10 Years

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years

      Comeeeee ooonnn!!!

  25. Hammers Select
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    How many points do we say is a safe lead?

    50+ points?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      yeh

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Probably 30 at this stage. Would need an epic captain performance that you don't have.

    3. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Really depends on how similar your teams are. A captain decision can be 40 pts+ on its own

  26. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Cmon Couthino. Late equalizer please

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

    Cmon Firmino

  28. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Scoutcast should be lively tonight at least.........

  29. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    So kind of follow Liverpool but a Hazard goal or assist will,give me a ton up hmmmm. 3-2 Liv with 5mins to go too much to ask.

  30. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 2 months ago

    105 compared to rival's 36. Mini league over 🙂
