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.

      trying to get a record for first team to get relegated after winning a title in previous season. 😉

      1. Siggy in the Middle

        9 years, 3 days ago

        Apparently Man City did that before. I think it was around 1938 or so.

    Is that a Fuchs ban? Not good for non-Fuchs owners. Fuchs owners will now buy a Chelsea defender 🙁

    Bloody hell ref booking all Leicester s players.
    Someone else will walk in a moment. Could be a right thrashing here.

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      He got every on of them right. Awesome ref!

    2. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      To be fair, outside of the red most of the cards were deserved. The dissent ones are usually questionable but we don't know what the players said.

      1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Well, had he gotten a yellow many would have said that was lucky. I totally understand the red card. Lunging in with both feet.

        1. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

          These guys on TSN just explained it perfectly. I think you have to accept the call either way, there's valid evidence for a yellow or a red. It looks like his intention wasn't to lunge in, but Johnson nudged him off his feet. What sealed it was once he was in the air, instead of pulling out he committed and both his feet happened to be out front.
