After Chelsea’s 3-0 canter over champions Leicester at Stamford Bridge, we now face five 3pm kick-offs.

Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott will be looking to deal the damage as Swansea roll up to the Emirates in their first match under new manager Bob Bradley.

Man City welcome Everton to the Etihad, where Pep Guardiola has listed Sergio Aguero on the bench ahead of the midweek trip to Barcelona. Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling both recover from injury to be named in the first XI.

Heung-Min Son’s growing band of owners have also been left disappointed after he was named amongst the subs for Spurs’ trip to West Brom. The South Korean international was drafted in by more FPL managers (334,000) than any player in the previous Gameweek.

Hull roll up to Bournemouth ahead of some fine upcoming fixtures that could see Robert Snodgrass emerge as a value option for our five-man midfields.

Elsewhere, Stoke welcome Sunderland to the bet365, allowing us the chance to scout Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri as the Potters prepare for some fine fixtures.

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

      Sterling did little

      But that was because Coleman almost broke his ankle as a frightener

      It worked (shoulda been a red, ref didn't even give a free kick)

    The week so far courtesy of SmartyPants:
    Top 10k Average = 29.8 , Overall = 22.8
    Players played 10k = 7.9, Overall = 6.8
    Captains played 10k = 90.6, Overall = 63.2

    Don't stress with poor scores people. It's a low one all around.
