We have five matches still to savour this Sunday before the third international break of the season is upon us.

First up, there’s the small matter of a north London derby at the Emirates as Arsenal take on goal-shy Tottenham Hotspur.

Alexis Sanchez looks for a fourth double-figure haul of the season after last week’s brace at Sunderland, whilst the Gunners are boosted by the return of Theo Walcott.

Subject to more transfers out than any player last week, Walcott has netted four of his five goals at the Emirates this season.

Spurs, meanwhile, wasted no time in recalling the fit-again Harry Kane to the first XI as they look to improve a recent that’s harvested a mere three goals in their last six in all competitions.

Arsenal have been solid at the back in front of their own fans, though, chalking up five clean sheets in the previous six Emirates fixtures.

Their prospects are boosted further by the return of first-choice full-backs Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal, who, like Walcott, have shrugged off minor injuries in times for today’s derby.

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

    Can't believe how many long balls there are in this game.

      You calling the players old?

    Just realised Friend will come in for Lovren. Lovely wee 7

      Lucky

      Yeah, I have the same thing. Pleasant surprise, especially after I'd benched him in favour of Williams...

      1. southernpacific
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I never get any jammy points off the bench. Ever

        1. fedolefan

          Me neither. Every one in my league gets 10 points for Capoue or 11 for Heaton. I get a 0 when Smith is subbed in or get a 0 like when Williams was subbed in.

      +1

    Got rid of Deeney and Capoue for Allen and Austin. Cue a Watford revival.

    Great no lovren and Williams with a big fat 0 off the bench

    1. Numb

      Same here. Quite a common thing I expect.

      He should have had -5 for that performance yesterday.

  5. The Royal Robin
    • 11 Years

    Monreal's had a solid game.

  6. Jay_

    Monreal with a goal saving challenge on Kane (Rose A) Superb

  7. Kaneyonero

    On this performance, would you sell Son?

  9. Arteta
    • 10 Years

    This game needs Giroud.

  10. Viprin

      Fair to say you want a goal fest today

  13. Sauzée
    • 10 Years

    Ramsey and Giroud in for Iwobi and Coq please

  14. fedolefan
    • 12 Years

    Don't know whom to get in first, Kane or Hazard. Think we'll all be waving goodbye to season keeper Luka soon after Swansea.

  15. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Can see Walcott being subbed soon

  16. Worzel Gummidge
    9 years, 8 months ago

    That Hull team is garbage. They will be relegated.

    1. Gnu

      Noshit Sherlock 🙂

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I am late to the party. It just seems extra crap today for some reason. No Snodgrass probably.

        1. Gnu

          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Their first 3 or 4 games gave a false impression and hope. Don't think a team has started the season as doomed as this bunch.

    Almost Xhaka

  18. devils advocate

    Holebas coming in for Lovren.

    Hope his 0pts are shinier than what Lovren's are. 🙁

    I hope it's a rare willie shrivelling virus.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years

      😆

      I don't think it's a virus at all tbh. Missed all of training this week and reportedly out of international duty?

      Unless it's a severe willie shrivelling virus...

    2. devils advocate
      • 12 Years

      The worst kind.

    3. Bubz

      Rare? I get that all the time

    Another 8 games like this and Sanchez will get close to Hazard's points from last night.
