After United saw off Middlesbrough at the Riverside, we now make our way to White Hart Lane as Tottenham Hotspur entertain Southampton in the 2.15pm kick-off.

Devoid of the injured Harry Kane, Mauricio Pochettino has turned to Son Heung-Min to lead the line after the South Korean racked up three goals and an assist in last Sunday’s 6-0 FA Cup thrashing of Millwall.

Snapped up by over 132,000 Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of yesterday’s deadline, Dele Alli is the most captained player from this one – 1.5% have handed him the armband on the back of ten goals in the last 11 Gameweeks.

With five double-figure hauls in his last eight home outings, though, Christian Eriksen looks just as vital if the home side are to prevail without their star striker.

With the Saints set to play 11 times in the remaining nine Gameweeks, today’s match gives us an early scouting opportunity.

Up top, Manolo Gabbiadini is a man in demand after firing six goals in four appearances across all competitions since arriving in the winter transfer window.

Despite facing two blanks in the last three Gameweeks, the Italian has still risen 0.4 in price ahead of back-to-back home clashes with Bournemouth and Crystal Palace.

The new striker’s arrival has allowed Dusan Tadic and Nathan Redmond to flourish since Claude Puel switched to a 4-2-3-1 formation, with the pair providing 22 and 17 points respectively over their last two league appearances.

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

    Trippier is a poor Walker

      Trippier is a very good player

      1. Sebbo29
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Confirmed by that excellent pass

      2. Deulofail

        Wasted at Spurs

      Good runner though 🙂 TBH disagree with that statement - not enough pitch time imo.

    Son off with a 2 pointer 🙂

    1. Smurf

    My Son my Son what have you done

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      He was Winked at

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Get a yellow Dembele

  8. Cry Me A River
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Bought Sanchez at 11.0 and have held him since the start partly because of his sheer quality and the fact that I'm an Arsenal fan haha

    However, FPL shouldnt involve sentiment.

    I have the exact cash to do Sanczhe and Llorente to Mane + Vardy, yay or nay?

    1. Deus
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No

    2. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      If Sanchez's injury is serious

    3. mcrayeps
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      What.. Why get rid sanchez?

      1. Cry Me A River
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        While Sanchez may earn me points, I really am tempted to spread the cash around to upgrade other areas.

      2. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Injured.

    4. MTPockets
        8 years, 11 months ago

        If you've waited this long, sure you can hang on for bit longer for news.

        1. Cry Me A River
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Mane and Vardy are due a price rise and Sanchez may fall, hence the need for a decisive move.

      • Caleb's Kitties
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        NO

    5. fedolefan

      1. Deus
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Assist would be just fine

        1. Duffy Dunk
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Nothing involving Dembele please

      2. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Oh please yes!!

        8 years, 11 months ago

        Groin strain.

        He's watching the game from the bench after walking back out.

        Hopefully he will be fine

    7. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years

      Dembele b!tching with Alli baps.

    8. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Wait til break over but if for free i might do that, depending on situation after break

      1. Sebbo29

        Reply fail to Cry me a River

    9. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No..Eriksen off for Jansen

    10. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Looking at the lineups Man City v Liverpool should be a good game. Will Henderson being missing be the difference?

      1. Johqvist
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, not too confident about this one.

    11. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Eriksen off Janssen on

    12. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Eriksen off. Will probably only get 1 BAP

    13. AA33
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I can sense a SOT goal

        1. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          May the force be with you

      • ThatAsianGuy17
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Are people keeping son?

      • Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Who got big baps?

      • Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Umm, why is Stephens so ignored here?

        He is 4.0 starter in one of the better defences in the league and has nice fixtures.

        1. rivercityransom
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          might not be nailed

        2. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Caceres has built up fitness in the u23's lately, he's due a start.

        3. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Holgate, Amat, Kingsley ... been there before ... Caceres casting a shadow

        4. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          2 clean sheets in 11... They are not the same defence without Fonte and Van Dijk.

          When Van Dijk is back, Stephens will be out so not really worth it imo.

      • Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        One can only hope that Dele will get a late YC

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          more likely a goal than YC

        2. Costa Nostra
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          *late goal....fify

      • fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Ok, perfect time now for Alli to get his late goal with Eriksen off.

        1. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          No

        2. Sgt. Schultz
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Please come true

      • Numb
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Can see Janssen starting the next game unless Kane is back

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Hopefully. Would like more Son fails.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          That would not surprise me Son was brutal today

      • L'Aeroplanino
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Both Eriksen and Aili returned while Spurs conceded
