Saturday’s events draw to a close at the Emirates as two heavyweights collide in the tea-time kick-off.

Arsenal host Antonio Conte’s Chelsea as both sides bid to keep pace with a perfect Manchester City at the top of the table.

The big team news finds Cesc Fabregas back in the Blues line-up following his midweek brace in the EFL Cup – Oscar makes way.

Fantasy managers will be more concerned with the fortunes of Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Alexis Sanchez.

Sanchez heads into the encounter with goals and confidence flowing, although worringly, he has failed to score in his last four league appearances in front of his home fans.

Costa has five goals for the season, notching in four of his five Gameweeks, while Hazard will be looking to break a run of two blanks having been sold by over 350,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 6.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Ibra Hazard Costa Bojan > Kun Firmino Mane Defoe (-12) Paid off!!

      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino didn't do anything though, since you're being all cocky.

    3. Chucky
      • 12 Years

      lol

    4. Hi I'm Jose

    8. Jönny
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Ibra, Zaza, Hazard to Kun, Mane, Rondon for minus four is better... 😉

      1. Jönny
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        (Although admitting I had Zaza pains me...)

  3. Hi I'm Jose

    Do you think Giroud will be nailed next weeks? I dont think Arsenal need him as a lone striker.

      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      It was sad he left, not performing quite the same role at Chelsea. Much better suited to us last season.

  7. Astonvanilla
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Costa+Ibra+Bolasie> Lukaku+Rashford+Sanchez look good?

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

    If Arsenal keep the cleanie, Alexis gets winning goal baps, if they concede he should still be in the clear.

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      win win

    2. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years

    2. Fred54
