Saturday’s events continue with a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs.

From a Fantasy Football perspective, interest appears limited to Sunderland’s Stadium of Light encounter with Watford and West Ham’s meeting with Hull City at the London Stadium.

Jermain Defoe’s 25.4% ownership will have high hopes of the Black Cats’ marksman ahead of his collision with the Hornets defence.

Walter Mazzarri’s rearguard have shipped an average of two goals a game on their travels, a statistic that suggests that Defoe will have the opportunity to return to the scoresheet having blanked in his previous two Gameweek outings.

Much is expected of West Ham’s primary attacking asses – Dimitri Payet, Michail Antonio and Andy Carroll – against Hull City.

The Tigers arrive having conceded 20 goals in eight away matches, 35 overall this season – more than any other side on both counts.

Elsewhere, Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson will carry the hopes of his 10.3% ownership into a Riverside Stadium meeting with Middlesbrough.

The home side shipped three goals in midweek to Liverpool, but, to that point, were resolute in defence, conceding seven goals over their seven previous outings on Teesside.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    What do Swans expect when Britton is starting mid? I mean seriously. You can't find anyone on this big arse planet that is better and can take his place? #howsomeoftheseguysmakethePrem?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Me too. But remember he is playing Swansea so maybe a goal!

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Can't get anything right this season. Starting to think this being my last season. Not worth it

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

          Chin up.

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

          I quit midway last season because I was late on the Mahrez Vardy Toby bandwagon. Thought I'll give it another shot this season but I can't do this.

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

      You benched Pieters tho??

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I did and played Friend 😐

      2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        It was him or Friend vs Swansea. Unlucky Friend didn't start. Was toss of the coin

  20. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Payet to Carroll cleared off the line 🙁

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sorry it was Awey not Carroll

    2. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

  21. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    4. greghammer95
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      West Ham look better away, Swansea better at home. If siggy was playing st I'd say so. But better options out here.

  24. Werkself

  27. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Don't know how there hasn't been a goal in the WH Hull game. Chances galore

  28. bobbysmith76
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Costa to Ibra for next week? Then get Costa back once his price drops?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    2. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

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

    4. GreennRed
      • 14 Years

      No chance

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

      How much cash will you loose on that, in addition to the 2 FTs to bring Costa out and in again for one match?

  29. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
