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

      Walcott owners coming out the woodwork. Lets just remember everyone else has had better options over past 7 or so weeks such as Eriksen, Lallana, Siggy, Zaha to name a few. Sanchez is the pick to have but lets put it into perspective. Well done on the couple of goals recently and I will probably get him in for the coming fixtures but lets not get carried away 🙂

          Getting Kane in for these two home games was a massive mistake. Should have just got in Ibra and been way ahead of the curve.

          Hindsight aye.

            Yeah I know there's still ages to go, but Kane went out my team yesterday.

            9 years, 4 months ago

            Are you joking... Alderweireld last minute injury wasn't a hard enough slap in the face, so Walker gets another assist. Let's just give him 3 bonus too.

              this total bull crap day

                9 years, 4 months ago

                All I need now is an Arsenal clean sheet after dropping Kos for Toby. I might actually break my laptop.

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

              why dont you go for walker? he's essential.

              1. Postman Ty
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                The ML rivals ahead of me have him so it's pointless, and they've had him for ages. I didn't buy him early because of champions league rotation, which was absolute bull sh-- cause he didn't end up getting rotated and they are knocked out now anyways. So Toby was a differential, is more capable of scoring, more secure, and was sensational last season.
