After a 1-1 stalemate at the Emirates earlier this afternoon, we now focus our attentions on a trio of fixtures that get underway within the next hour.

There are a couple of kick-offs to keep us ticking over at 2.15pm.

Liverpool’s free-scoring attack are heavily fancied at home to Watford. Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane have both produced two sets of double-figures at Anfield already, whilst Roberto Firmino – with a goal or assist in three of the last four – has stepped up in consistency of late.

Walter Mazzarri’s men have chalked up three successive clean sheets prior to today’s visit to Merseyside, though Fantasy managers who chose to start the Hornets’ wing-back Jose Holebas may have to rely on his ability to serve up attacking returns this time around.

Southampton’s trip to Hull offers Charlie Austin to justify the steady stream of investment that’s led to a price rise in five successive Gameweeks.

Up against the league’s most porous defence, Austin will trigger further transfers in if he adds to a run of four goals in six. Club-record signing Sofiane Boufal, however, is named amongst the subs once again by Claude Puel.

Man United and Swansea don’t have their troubles to seek ahead of their 3pm head-to-head at the Liberty.

Worryingly for Jose Mourinho, his side have won just one of their last six road trips in all competitions – a 3-1 victory at Northampton Town in the EFL Cup back in September.

Nonetheless, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s loyal band of owners will be hoping he can banish his goal drought and notched against a defence that has conceded at least twice in all but one of their five home matches in the top-flight.

For the Swans, the form of Gylfi Sigurdsson offers hope of clinching a vital three points.

The Icelandic international has scored or assisted in four of the last seven Gameweeks, producing points against Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal as well as an assist away to Stoke on Monday.

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