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

    2. Jedi_Reed

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

      1. southernpacific
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I never get any jammy points off the bench. Ever

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Same here. Quite a common thing I expect.

    2. makaveli123

      He should have had -5 for that performance yesterday.

  5. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Monreal's had a solid game.

  6. Jay_
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

    • Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Redmond and Austin to assist each other in a 10 0 thumping

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years

        Haha This I hope!

    • The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      On this performance, would you sell Son?

    • Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      This game needs Giroud.

    • Viprin
      • 10 Years

      Koscielny with an injury time header ftw

        Fair to say you want a goal fest today

    • Sauzée
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ramsey and Giroud in for Iwobi and Coq please

    • fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      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.

    • Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Can see Walcott being subbed soon

    • Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That Hull team is garbage. They will be relegated.

          Noshit Sherlock 🙂

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 5 months ago

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

                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                9 years, 5 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.

        2. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Almost Xhaka

          • 11 Years

          Holebas coming in for Lovren.

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

          I hope it's a rare willie shrivelling virus.

            9 years, 5 months ago

            😆

            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...

          • More Tragic
            • 10 Years

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

            🙂
