After United’s 1-1 draw against Stoke at Old Trafford, we now have a couple of 2.15pm kick-offs to continue a busy Sunday schedule.

Man City’s trip to Spurs is the pick of the two matches as Pep Guardiola’s side seek to maintain their 100% Premier League record.

Sergio Aguero’s performance is eagerly anticipated after Zlatan Ibrahimovic blanked once again earlier today.

Drafted in by more Fantasy Premier League managers than any player last Gameweek, he has served up 13 points in each of his two away appearances so far but faces a tough task against the league’s most resilient rearguard.

Heung-Min Son is the home side’s form player.

The South Korean has bagged four goals and an assist in the previous three and fired a midweek Champions League winner in Moscow. Deliver against Pep Guardiola’s side and we can expect the bandwagon to pick up speed over the international break.

Champions Leicester welcome Southampton to the King Power on the back of a midweek Champions League win over Porto.

The Foxes have only failed to win one of their first three home fixtures – a goalless draw against Arsenal – though face a tough task to break down a stubborn Saints’ rearguard that have racked up five successive clean sheets across all competitions.

Whilst Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez struggle to reprise last season’s form, new boy Islam Slimani has wasted little time in settling into life under Claudio Ranieri. He bagged a brace in his previous league appearance at the King Power and also netted the winner on Tuesday evening.

Charlie Austin was rested for the Saints’ Europa League clash with Hapoel Beer Sheva on Thursday and returns to the starting XI today, having netted five times in his last four across all competitions.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        25 with Heaton and Sanchez (c) to go 🙁

        1. EDEN THE MAN

          58 with Sanchez to go

      Sky saying son maybe put off lamela before the penalty and could be disciplined

      Lamela was the pen taker

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        U wot?

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Stones?

      3. Jasoooooooo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        What???? Wtf???

      4. Count of Monte Hristo

        Spanked bottom by Pochettino

      5. jmcclory123
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Sky didn't know who was on penalties, Pochettino knows who he put on them prior to the game. If Son was assigned to them and Lamela took it, it was selfish and vice versa.

    5. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Lamela owner here. Soon to be Lamela non owner.

      1. Scholes Balls
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I know that feeling

    6. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Walker seems almost like toby last yr. keeps rising and youre like will probably cool off, and just continues to score more pts and rise.

      forced to bring in and pay up anyone?

      1. Jasoooooooo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'd prefer Rose now that they're equal price

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Toby will be worth getting at some point this year, he is a beast. It's only a matter of time before he starts scoring & assisting & colleting baps

      3. Del Griffith
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Nacho should score there

      4. bojack
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

    8. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      So disappointed by Aguero today 🙁

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        No KdB, no party.....

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He could yet finish with a brace of goals

      3. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Aguero had zero service.

        City lost this game in the midfield

        1. Valencia's Left Foot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yep.. Said it during the week. Without KDB City aren't the same machine.

    9. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      What a save by Lloris

    10. Net Gains
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Son or Coutinho?

      Best 4.5 def?

    11. niko mate
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      City needs to score.

    12. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling pls no

    13. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Walker off, Aguero hatty. One time?

    14. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Rose is a massive drama queen....

    15. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sissoko isn't fit enough to play for spurs jmo.

      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Ibra (C) 1
      Valencia 1
      Aguero 2

      To think I had such high hopes.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Ibra (C) = 2

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years

      Give Rose a Tony award for that drama.

    19. sambyy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero is not going to score is he

    20. fusen
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      How often so you see the entire man city team have points like this?

      https://anewpla.net/fpl/live/68/

      Must be pretty rare

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Wow, they've been very poor today.

        Spurs also very good.

    21. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      As disastrous as this week has been...very happy to be a Sanchez captainer!

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Always captain the best last available player.

        That rule rarely fails me

      2. Scholes Balls
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Dont jinx it man...

      3. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Arsenal haven't played yet...but I know what you mean.

      4. KING_ZLATAN
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Hoping Sanchez to at least do something later on

    22. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      will Kun score in this game?

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

        No

    23. Goodricke
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Rough with the rough:
      Dropped walker captained Ibra

      1. Scholes Balls
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        why would you drop walker, sure a city game is not the best fixture, but they are the best def in the league

      2. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Did the same, makes sense when you have other games you think are significantly more likely to get CS, plus playing two MC attackers.

    24. Mike2795647
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Most in my mini league have Aguero or Ibra as captain, glad I went with Sanchez now after a p*ss poor week

    25. C_G
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez(c) score check?

      1. mipola
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        39

      2. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        42

    26. Jasoooooooo

      9 years, 6 months ago

      Southampton looking a 3 CS's in a row 😮

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Exactly when everybody sold their Southampton defence! 😀

        Me included, not bragging here.

    27. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Rose is such a dirty thug.

      1. The Donald
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        racist

        1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Not racist.

          White thugs exist you know

          1. The Donald
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            its a joke you can relax

    28. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Dropped Vert, captained Aguero over Alexis...

    29. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      City growing into the game now

    30. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez must beca massive differential as captain. Stage is set for a hattrick
