After Jay Rodriguez guided Southampton to a 3-1 win at the Vitality, we’re treated to a couple of 4pm encounters that may well have a significant impact on the Fantasy Premier League standings.

Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen are heavily backed to get the better of Burnley at the Lane.

The in-form pair have each scored twice in two of their last three home appearances, earning first and third place in our Gameweek 17 Captain Poll respectively.

Frustratingly, our Scout Pick Toby Alderweireld misses out with a minor back problem, though we’ll have an eye on Spot the Differential candidate Danny Rose against a Clarets outfit with a single goal to their name on the road so far.

Man City and Arsenal square up at the Etihad in the other match.

Alexis Sanchez seeks a fifth double-figure away haul against a City defence that’s been far from convincing, with just three clean sheets to their name so far.

With the Gunners now poised for some excellent upcoming fixtures, a big performance from Theo Walcott could persuade some Sanchez owners he is worth a double-up option.

Sergio Aguero remains suspended for City, with Pep Guardiola once again benching the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho and John Stones.

Kevin De Bruyne is the man most likely for the home side, though the Belgian’s run of 10 league appearances without a goal has left him on the Fantasy periphery.

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

    When is Kane due back?

      When Rojo lets him out of his pocket

        Surely Kane would have fallen out when Rojo flung himself into one of his two footed tackles?

      About the same time as Hazard and Payet 🙂

    Exact cash to do Kane to Zlatan. Going to bench Costa one week

    Hows this Dembele theory thingy working out. Finally debunked?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      The theory is that he doesn't score without him not that he always scores with him.

      1. Del Griffith

        Great, now you tell me 😉

  10. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I may be a bit biased, but a Kane peno miss here in the 90th minute would be an absolute sight on here

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Biased against who exactly?

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Not owning Kane

  11. 4. Arsenal FC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Vertonghen assist for Kane goal would be great right now

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Anybody assist for Kane would be great..
      Except Erik :p

  12. Ruth_NZ

    Kane scored 1 goal in his first 13 games for Spurs last season. People were saying he had regressed. He ended up with 28 goals.

    1. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      U dont only look at goals. Eriksen is more threatening than kane right now

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

      Point taken. This isn't last season though.

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

        Agreed. But people can be pretty fickle.

        When I got Zlatan in 7 weeks ago this guy said to me "why do you want a giant static striker playing for a ridiculously defensive team". This week he has been all over getting Zlatan in as if it's some original idea.

        Kane's time will come is all I'm saying.

  13. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    At least poch will learn his lesson and play Kane as an actual striker

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If he learns any lesson it is to bench him

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Where did he play him today

  14. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    On a scale if 1 to Firmino. Kane is 9 on the uninterested scale. Dog mustve died or something

  15. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    is this the same burnley team other teams clobber away from home???

  16. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Kane to Ibra on the cards.

  17. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Can't wait to sell this gormless moron Kane

  18. Sauzée
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Could do with Elneny and Giroud coming on to retain the ball better.

  19. 4. Arsenal FC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Why isn't Alli diving in the box anymore?

  20. Viprin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Get in the box and dive Alli

    1. 4. Arsenal FC
      • 9 Years

  21. Kaneyonero

    Arsenal getting bummed

  23. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Ibra wins this week against all the big hitters

  24. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Spurs a joke - concede at home to Burnley and can't score more than one goal against them.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Full time? My feed must be lagging.

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      They have quite a few chances. Patient

  25. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Iwobi off for Ox

  26. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I think Heaton should get 5pts for saving a Kane shot.
    It rarer than a penalty save these days.

  27. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Oxinho

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

    21 attempts. 1 goal

  29. 4. Arsenal FC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is Pep a genius yet?

  30. Hybrid.power

    Can't believe Pickford is my highest scorer this week!

    1. GreenArrows
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He is mine too, but on my bench :/

    2. 4. Arsenal FC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I benched him!
