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

    Antonio+Kosc->Hazard+4.5def (-4)?

    Walcott off, played better than sanchez tbh

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Agree

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Kind of irrelevant.
      one is Sanchez the other is clearly not.

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie

        Wenger is just scared.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Your confusing Walcott the fantasy punt player with the resl thing.

    Is Sanchez LM now?

    1. Shrimpy
      • 9 Years

    This might be the least enjoyable gameweek I've ever had

    1. Pedram
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It's always like this before international break, players afraid of getting injured so they don't take any risk.

    2. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      You're back.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I almost clicked confirm on these transfers and didnt. Forgive me for being annoyed about it

          Damn that's some rotten luck, Austin probably get a hattie too now. I don't get this -8pt hit is too much, those transfers certainly looked a decent shout.

  7. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    C'mon. Alexis & Walker.

    Let's make it 2-2.

  8. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Disgusting Wally fail

    Bye bye - clown

    1. Sauzée
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Strong.

    2. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Bit much....

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He is disgusting. Anyone who plays in red seems to be 🙂

  9. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Lloris is a great keeper.

  10. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Think that might represent the end of Wally's little run in the starting XI

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He didn't play too bad tbh. If anything its the end for iwobi.

  11. MTPockets
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Walcott was worth the patience then...

    • Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 4 months ago

        This is how it starts. early sub then dropped next GW.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I'll get him when his price goes down..for sanchez

        2. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Then you hold. Tired legs an all

        3. Emp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          i think thats a huge overreaction to a player who has just come back from injury and been on fire , hit the post this game.... he was never gonna make 90 mins.

      • Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Did Wally owners expect a huge return vs one of the best defences in the league?

        1. Sauzée
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Sensible comment

          1. Clump
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            There's no place for sense on here during matches.
            Flagged.

        2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Been saying this too

        3. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          No. Was hoping for a goal though.

        4. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          No, but I expect one against Man U 😉

        5. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Nope, did Sanchez owner?

        cmon alexis

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          for a yellow card

      • The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Kane currently on for 2 BAPS, lol, what?

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Well he scored

      • AnfieldLad
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        A) Sanchez --> Hazard

        B) Walcott + Bellerin --> Hazard + 4.5 (Evans) for a hit

        Leaning toward B

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          A

        2. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          B

        3. Garfield1001
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          B for me. Would be wary of getting rid of Sanchez as would be to difficult to get him back in if required. He is an easy downgrade if required.

      • devils advocate
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        If Arsenal had more than two players that could score goals Sanchez could have had 3 assists by now.

          1. devils advocate
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            You should include the goals they've all scored in juniors in that table too. 😆

      • Kane Train
        • 11 Years

        Nyom nailed??

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Fans been slating him on twitter apparently and playing out of position..who knows

      • ANON.
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Lose Sterling, Walcott or Redmond for Hazard?

        1. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Walcott - worthless

        2. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Walc

        3. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Sterling

        4. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Sterling

        5. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Sterling

        6. Sandy Ravage
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Walcott (cos Ramsey & Giroud are now available)
          Sterling (cos KDB / Gundogan are more effective options)

      • Back on the horse
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        No Lovren. I might be getting Friend's 7pts off 3rd place on my bench at this rate!

      • MattB
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Seems my punt on boufal has backfired

        1. devils advocate
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          😆

          I feel for you as it was easy to get sucked into the rubbish spread on here that he'll start.

      • Sean the Bean
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Got exact cash for Sanchez > Ozil and Sterling > Hazard.

        No other Arsenal or Chelsea coverage. Should it be done?

      • Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        alexis pls

      • Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Pickford
        Evans Vertonghen Pieters
        Antonio Firmino Gundogan Coutinho
        Ibrahimovic Lukaku Aguero

        Heaton Capoue Clyne Amat

        Long way off I know but for next gameweek which transfer(s) should I consider?

        1 FT & 0.0 ITB. Thanks

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          A hit to get costa or hazard?

          1. Scotty B
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah think of need to.
            Which 2 should I ship?

      • Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I hope Mane doesn't punish me for selling him this GW.

      • fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        My two transfers this week for a hit (to replace an injured 4th mid) were going to be either Sterling or Alli. Bullets flying all over the place.

      • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

        I'd play ox over Walcott
