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

    Have Evans, Masuaku(injured), Williams(no cs, bad fixtures), Valencia(expensive) and Amat.
    Worst def line ever, not sure which one to change first, and should I do 2 for a hit?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      10 years, 1 month ago

      There has only been 1 cs so far, from Chelsea, who didn't keep one in their last 2 or 3 so can't predict them. Would just get rid of Masuaku

    Hello guys. What would you do with this lot:

    Foster
    Walker, Pieters, Valencia
    Sterling, Mane, Sanchez, Redmond
    Aguero, Lukaku, Rondon

    Subs: Heaton --- Capoue, Evans, Amat --- 2 FT, 0.3 ITB

    A) Valencia & Rondon -> Koscielny & Austin
    B) Foster & Rondon -> Pickford & Deeney
    C) Something else, what?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B if you don't have much value in Foster
