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

    Best long term option on WC?

    A) Sanchez + Redmond + 1m
    B) Ozil + Coutinho

    No other Liverpool or Arsenal players.

    Thanks

      Walcott + Coutinho

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. You think Walcott is a better option than Ozil long term?

    Typical

    I ditched Rashford for Austin and Rashford starts upfront.

      Such a waste of a sub

  6. THEBLACKSWORDSMAN
    • 12 Years

    As a Chelsea fan and Ozil owner, I will take this result.

  7. Arteta

  10. fedolefan

    9 years, 5 months ago

    Damn it, why is the game so open. Just be content with the 1-1 you fools.

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  12. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years

    OK that's the end of Son for me!

    Pedro or Bolasie in... Hmm.

      Pedro looked very good yesterday

  13. Ziro

    Need to sub Walcott back on for Ox.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      This, Walcott the closest one to score for Arsenal today.

  14. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I can see Liverpool going for it big time against Watford with today's result in the NLD currently meaning they would be top of the league going into the international break.

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years

      Firmino Brace!

    2. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      They were always gonna go big time it's Klopp!

    3. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Probably Klopps final words as they leave the dressing room... "go for eet big time lads"

  15. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I could do...

    Sanchez -> Hazard
    Firmino/Coutinho -> Ozil

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not for me.

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Only Sanchez to hazard

    3. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No to the second move

    4. JAC THE CAT

      Got 2 FT this break, but sorely tempted to wildcard now to get Chelsea players in.

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        You can only have 3 even on a wc. Why not just get 2 and save a wc?

      2. rjcv177
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        if u have the 2ft use them. Save WC for xmas! and then u have more time to prepare your 2nd WC for DGWs

      3. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, obviously I'd make several other changes too, if I wildcarded.

        Don't want to sell Alexis but can't fund Hazard unless Kun or Sanchez goes.

    9. Ziro
      • 11 Years

      That is the real Giroud. Joke Donkey player.

      5 minutes added time OMG. Where's that come from.

      1. TheSteel

        Rose

    11. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Alexis created so many chances today but others can't finish.

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

        You should hold back some runs. Your going forward too much means Sanchez has to stay back to create. 😉

          I did Payet to Hazard. Feels good man. I'm keeping Sanchez

        3. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 5 months ago

            do it. I want a rank jump.

              Backwards for keeping Sanchez for a barren run? 🙂

                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  If it makes you feel better then ok.

            So Ibra's parting gift to me is a non start and Allen's 1pt if he doesn't come on at all, lol.

            I hope Rashford and Martial both score hat-tricks to end that idiots career.

                I jumped the gun based on some earlier comments and just realised it was based on the worst source possible.

                So many chances for him. Seemed very involved and his scores are usually a streak of hauls or a streak of blanks.
