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

    Aguero has to score there!

  5. ★Kuntheman★
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Stones has been our best playmaker today

    1. walkman666

      He was excellent on that set up to Aguero.

    Damn you City and damn you Pep for dropping Sagna and playing Kolarov. You brought this on yourself.

  9. Vedas
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Benched Koscielny last week, Walker this week. Damn.

    1. Shano23
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Benching ur 6.1 million Arsenal defender wasnt really wise

      1. Vedas
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Arsenal have had bad luck against Chelsea recently, that's why I benched him. Hopefully will get me a cleanie today.

      You should be playing your £5.5+ defenders every single week no matter the fixtures. Unfortunately I have to say this is not bad luck but poor judgement.

      1. Vedas
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm, lesson learned.

  10. Lav
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Shaw to Vertonghen already done

  11. SirStevieG
    10 years, 1 month ago

    THAT WAS YOUR CHANCE KUN FFS

  12. SuperDan
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Should I do:

    Valencia, Antonio > Vertonghen, Son?

  13. Jafooli
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton to save my GW.....

    1. Laurel and Vardy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      May as well concede a couple....:-)

  14. Nicks93
    10 years, 1 month ago

    ML rival benched Chadli, Morgan and VVD

    Feel sorry for him

    1. Third Eye Vision
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Noticed some of my rivals benching their 5.0 and 5.5s too. Just stick with them. That's why you pay extra.

      1. Nicks93
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah and it wasnt really inconceivable than one of them atleast can get a CS

  15. b✪mber
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The good the bad and the ugly... The ugly got last game.

    C'mon Sanchez make my day!!!

  16. Pierce34
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Would you prefer Lloris - Koscielny or Cech - Walker?

    1. Jasoooooooo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I didn't know that you could transfer a goalie for a defender......... 😉

      Nah I'm just kidding. If it's Cech -> Lloris or Kos -> Walker you're asking about I would definitely not do that, Arsenal's fixtures are mint and Spurs fixtures are starting to look tough

      1. Pierce34
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ha, sorry, I mean which combination (Lloris & Kos or Cech & Walker).

  17. Jay_
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Would have been a Stones assist

    1. Fowler23
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nope though he did all the work

  18. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra and Diomande for Lukaku and Wilson for 2FTs a no brainer?

  19. BB-8
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rose a good option if I want a differential? Or just go for Walker?

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Walker

  20. ★Kuntheman★
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Pep played a Pellegrini lineup and got a Pellegrini result

    1. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Has nothing to do with the lineup. This Spurs would beat anyone. Pep teams have a bad record away from home against the top teams anyway.

  21. Jay_
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lloris 11 pointer

  22. Fowler23
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Going to keep stones
    Can see why pep likes him

  23. walkman666

    Spurs so deserved this win. Fantastic plan and they executed it, with some significant injured players, too.

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      city players are still a little unfit like gundogan

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero always scores v spurs they said

    1. Flying Nugget
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero is essential they said

      1. JIM BOB
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He is

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      there was a good hot topic by someone who put that to bed, it was always a silly theory

  25. Les Bleus
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So many CS it's sickening

  26. SirStevieG
    10 years, 1 month ago

    This is a bad day to have no Spurs players and 2 City.

  27. KingNidge

    1. ★Kuntheman★

      Hard to win to good teams on the road. These are two top four teams.
