The first of three Sunday afternoon fixtures gets underway at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth entertain Southampton in the 1.30pm kick-off.

Eddie Howe’s side have chalked up four clean sheets in eight matches in front of their own fans, with Charlie Daniels and Steve Cook heading into Gameweek 17 amongst the top seven scoring Fantasy Premier League defenders.

The out of position Adam Smith has also piqued our interest on the right flank, while Nathan Ake budget price tag made him the number one defender for transfers in ahead of the weekend.

Up against a Saints side with three goals in the last seven Gameweeks, Howe’s defence could plunder the points once again.

Bearing in mind that Southampton have served up four clean sheets in the previous five, goals may be hard to come by in this one.

Owners of Cedric Soares will be relieved as the right-back recovers from illness to return to Claude Puel’s starting XI.

    My whole GW hinges on Kane(c) and Eriksen now.

      Similar to me, plus Lallana. Not normally one to say how many points I have but got 23 from 7 and I ain't happy lol. Not been able to get in UTD & Spurs backs coverage quick enough and it's costing me big time against my rivals.

      Clean sheets were supposed to be a thing of the past, they said so on the Scoutcast and they were about a month ago. Suddenly it all changed round and now I'm playing catch up.
