After Stoke’s narrow win at Vicarage Road, we now make our way to the Emirates as Arsenal entertain Bournemouth at 2.15pm.

Having led the line against PSG in midweek, Olivier Giroud drops back to the bench, despite netting five times in his last five appearances across all competitions.

Alexis Sanchez is stationed up front, then, with his 22% FPL owners looking for an improvement on the form that has seen him score in just one of the previous six Gameweeks.

Certainly, we need the Chilean to step up in a weekend where Liverpool pair Philipp Coutinho and Roberto Firmino, along with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, failed to deliver the goods.

Utilised off the bench against PSG, Theo Walcott returns to the starting XI, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also finding a place in the hosts line-up.

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

    I changed captain from Sanchez to Kun. Sadness. Next I'll be forced to watch Lukaku score two.

    Awful

      I sold Lukaku last week so he's due to punish me

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

    3. Sims
      • 9 Years

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Apply lubrication to your bottom if you don't own Alexis Sanchez.. a haul is going to feel like something getting put in there without permission

  7. Kermit Special
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

  8. Mark-O
    • 10 Years

      1. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Outside the area. Definite foul though

    • Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

    • Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Took the armband off Sanchez just before deadline in GW8. Stuck it on Coutinho instead.

      Gutted 😕

      1. Kroosin'
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Switched it from Kun to Cout before deadline.

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

    • Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez plays so much better without the gloves

    • Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No penalty

    • Kroosin'
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sancheeeeezzz! I am into the 30s.

    • justmatt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That goal just sums up the luck I've had in the last 2 GW's... I don't own Sanchez.

    • ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Walcott is defo getting a goal in this!

      Just my luck to get hazard in for 2 weeks and alexis has already got more in that span 🙁

      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I did say that if you could get past the United and Spurs games where points were unlikely, keeping Sanchez over buying Hazard may be a shrewd move 🙂

      He's in my team all season bar injury, love watching him play

      1. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Agree. I can't judge him objectively because I like him as a player so much

    • Jay_
        9 years, 4 months ago

          Was Firmino just a knock - I presume he'll be good to start? (I've already sold Coutinho for Firmino :|)
