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

    I'm now kinda happy I didn't sell Walker last night.

    Sanchez to Hazard looking more appealing by the minute.

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

      Really?

    2. Ravager
      • 11 Years

    Walker common. I need Walker to get some attacking returns so Wally & Sanchez can go nuts.

    Oh cmon I hate derbies where they just defend, what happened to the good aul days of throwing the kitchen sink at each other. this is awful lol

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

      More afraid to lose these days

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

      They would both take a draw now I think

  6. drughi
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Spurs the better team so far

  7. Sillet Bang
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I've chose to embrace the non champions league teams

    Heaton
    Lovern Alonso Pieters
    Hazard Coutinho Firmino Sanchez
    Costa Lukaku Defoe

    Pickford Fletcher Holebas Freind

    0.1 bank and Agueroless!

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

      Nice team but no Aguero is quite risky

      1. Sillet Bang
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Can't bare the minutes after champions league and internationals

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Why you got Sanchez then?

      1. Sillet Bang
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Feels great no Aguero. Chelsea and Liverpool I mean. Picky!

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

    There is goals in this.

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

  10. UshFPL
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Bottomed

    Which is best?
    A) Sanchez to Hazard and Sterling to Firmino/Coutinho/Mane
    B) Walcott to 6.3 and Sterling to Hazard

    Bear in mind I will not get Redmond and would prefer not to get Bolasie

  11. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

  14. drughi
    • 16 Years

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

      😯
      Did you captain Hazard in the end? 😉

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Nope 🙁

        1. Chucky

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

    This game feeling like a 0-0. Noone taking enough risk to score.

  18. Oddjobleff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    It's Sanchez or mane going for Hazard then. Got coutinho. Unless mane hattrick is it obvious to keep Arsenal coverage and lose double Liverpool?

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

      I'm thinking
      Haz - Walcott - firm - cout

  19. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    30 mins gone, give it a rest with the Sanchez to whoever posts

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

    Hazard would have buried that 😉

  21. Jay_
      9 years, 4 months ago

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Hazard is fixture proof

          1. Granville
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            No he isn't. His away form isn't great.

      5. mattk lfc
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Walker hammy?

      6. Js31
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        It's gonna pain me bug Sanchez will have to make way for Hazard now

      7. Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        ffs walker

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

        If you're selling Sanchez you'll only be struggling to get him back in 3 weeks. Madness. Not leaving my team unless he gets injured.

        1. drughi
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Kos has had an awful game, think it's time to sell

      9. Twisted Melon
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        McAuley and hazard or alonso and firmino

      10. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        1. Evasivo
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Sold him for Fuchs, so a divided opinion I'm afraid 😉

          1. Granville
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I own both. I've already had 7 injuries this season which has cost me points

            1. Evasivo
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Ouch! Having a great season mind,
