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.

      1. TheTinman
        10 years, 6 months ago

        105 + 15 = 120

      2. TheTinman
        10 years, 6 months ago

        That's going off 5 x 3 = 15 btw

    Otamendi to Ivan -4 meaning I benched Sanchez is a sour end to a great week.

    1. davies
      10 years, 6 months ago

      It made sense - his mystery injury preventing him from a great score.

  7. Milner4eva
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Need something from Firmino to hit a ton, come on man!

  8. davies
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Milner's early sub means he could play GW38?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He could either way.

    2. Evs

      10 years, 6 months ago

      Doubt it very much

    3. Bubz
      10 years, 6 months ago

    4. For Fuchs Sake

      Just get rid!

      1. davies
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Probably bench him and get Giroud instead of Tadic.

    5. Patio Kev

      10 years, 6 months ago

      Why would he play him ? For what purpose ? 11 reserves on Sunday for sure.

  9. Ayew Serious
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Shootout to Mamadou Sakho for falling in price and forcing me to get Pva instead of Reid 😀

  10. For Fuchs Sake
    10 years, 6 months ago

    So PVA scores a goal and a clean sheet. No bonus? Joke

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 6 months ago

      To be fair, the goal points are the bonus.

        Mate. It's a crucial few points for me in my one on one clash with a mate. Not a moan just an honest lament

    3. Clump
      10 years, 6 months ago

    4. Fred54
      10 years, 6 months ago

      The irony is his BPS is usually alot higher compared to his other Sunderland team mates when he hasn't even assisted/scored..I guess everyone at Sunderland turned up today.

    5. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Winning goal bps still to be added, no need for these tears...

  12. Clump
