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

    They just showed the Son/Lamela peno-off......one of them is gonna get his butt kicked.

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

      Probably not the one who did NOT miss the penalty.

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

        Which one's that? Can't work your sentence out 😀

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Lamela. But what happened exactly?

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

            Lamela picked up the ball, walked towards spot. Son blocked him and tried to take ball. Chit chat for a bit and then Lamela walks of with ball.

            1. Pierce34
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Hmm ok. Sounds like Lamela was the designated taker then.

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

          Son. Who will probably not have his ass kicked. Lamela, if you're looking for the one who may.

          Imo, on the basis that the coach usually rather gets mad at those players who miss the penalties than to those who didn't take them in the first place.

  2. Siva Mohan

    Lamela is the designated penalty taker for Spurs today.

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

      And most likely won't be after this.

    2. The Donald

      This Spurs defence is solid.

      Just noticed - Walker on 3 BAPs now, this CS is now worth keeping (Kun and Sterling owner though)

      Spurs defending like gods.

      Wanyama dier mid looks impregnable

      1. The Donald

        9 years, 6 months ago

        muh Dembele effect

    • KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Son down

    • BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Are either of the big two premium strikers essential after today? Money better spent in midfield

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Kun of course

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

        Ibra isn't but Ageuro still is, can't drop him after 1 poor game

      3. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Zlatan was nowhere near essential, most people were selling.

        Kun is a season keeper.

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

        just sell them both

    • Jafooli
