After Jay Rodriguez guided Southampton to a 3-1 win at the Vitality, weโ€™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 thatโ€™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 Belgianโ€™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

      Depends how much you bought Costa for.

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        10,8 I think.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years

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

      You put Kane's name in that bracket and people will say yes to anything!

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I already have Ibra and don't want Costa yet. Maybe best just holding Kane until Costa is back.
