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

    How's Alli looked?

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

      He scored

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      15.

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years

      1 shot 1 goal or has he been in the action?

    4. KING_ZLATAN

      Looking good. But son is a beast

  5. Jafooli

    Fernandiniho close....

  6. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years

    Thank gosh for that substitution

  7. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling vs Rose. Pep wants Rose sent off.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I do too

    2. Moyeschester
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Rose too dangerous with Kolarov on the field. Makes only sense.

  8. henryleeds
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ibra+Haz>Lukaku+Sanchez for 2FTs?

    1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      no

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

      absolutely

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      yes, although about 3 weeks too late.

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

      Def

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

      Definitely

  9. O Fenomeno
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I have over 2.5 goals in Spurs v Citeh, hope it doesn't play out 2-0. City missing KDB influence

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Let's not forget Spurs are also missing Kane though.

      1. O Fenomeno
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Kane isn't the creative force for Spurs, that KDB is for City

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

          Kane is also overrated

          1. O Fenomeno
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Agreed

        2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          That's true wasn't trying to make a comparison was just alluding to the fact they are both missing key players

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      You betted a game early mate, should have saved it for Citeh/Everton next GW.

      1. O Fenomeno
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'm not barred from betting on that game because I've bet on this one!

  10. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Need that City goal. Please!

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Navas off for sane please

  12. Styles_X
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Rashford to deeney.
    Aye or nay?

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I would personally, you get yourself a penalty taker and know he is nailed on and also has better fixtures.

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Rashford a much better player. Deeney is fat, slow, but has good fixtures and Pens

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

    Exact money for one of these, 2FT (have Sanchez)...

    Antonio and Coleman to...
    A) Walcott and Monreal
    B) Son and Kos
    C) Other

    Also considering Capoue and Antonio to Snodgrass and £7.2 (maybe Lallana if he's passed fit)

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

      Any thoughts?

  14. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    City need to score. Walker's ownership is grotesque.

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

      It is but hopefully most (like me) have benched him

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

        I doubt most have him benched

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

          Hopefully....

          1. O Fenomeno
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Don't try and rationalise with Donald

      2. Laurel and Vardy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Not really, many of us hope for a CS, since Aguero and Sterling play sh*t and attacking returns are less likely

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

      SPURS HOLD! Need that walker cs

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling playing like the sterling we all know

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

      He hasn't been that bad in all honesty

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Tougher opposition is the difference

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

    Sterling YC 😮

  17. Jay_
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Could see that YC coming 30 seconds before

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling 1 pointer

    • Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero and Sanchez to blank too much to hope for?

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

        how can you possibly not have one of them? Points are overrated?

        1. Nicks93
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Have both but captained Ibra

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

        Aguero blank but Sanchez have to score.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago
