After Aaron Mooy fired Huddersfield to victory over Newcastle, we make our way to Wembley as Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea go head-to-head in Sunday’s final fixture.

A victory for Spurs today would set a new club record of 15 successive home league wins, yet their record in competitive matches at Wembley – two wins, one draw and seven losses – is anything but convincing.

Subject to over 164,000 transfers out last week, Harry Kane has now gone 11 Premier League matches in August without finding the net.

Yet Kane was still the second most captained player for Gameweek 2, handed the armband by 526,000+ FPL managers as he looks to recover from last Sunday’s blank at Newcastle.

Both Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli plundered the points at St James’ Park to put Kane in the shade.

They also combined for both goals in the corresponding fixture last season, with Eriksen supplying assists for Alli’s pair of strikes in a 2-0 home win over the champions.

For Chelsea, Alvaro Morata is handed his first start after emerging from the bench to bag a goal and assist in last week’s shock home loss to Burnley.

But there’s no Eden Hazard as he fails to recover from an ankle injury in time for the Wembley encounter.

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

      Nothing he could do tbh, if lloris was anymore the the right, Alonso could easily of put it the other way, hence the wall being there. The whole wall jumped too

    Chelski parking the bus since the first second. Disgraceful tactics by the bald one.

      Nearly everything coming down Davies side though.

    anyone sees more value in davies over trippier? is davies nailed?

    1. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not when Rose is back

    2. Turbolag

      Rose will take his spot once he stops whining.

        that's right, forgot bout rose.

        davies seems to be playing well these 1.5 games.. goal threat too - nice shot earlier

      As soon as rose comes back, im swapping Davies for Trippier. Good thing his price dropped too

    C Kane next week and hatty coming.

        Sorry, I didnt. Now I do.

      2. Rover
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I don't think anyone was honestly expecting much against Chelsea. Cahill red may have added some smoke but be honest, all the expectations were always for next week.

    2. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years

      Same here. Got him captain today. Always a whisker away from a goal. That eriksen free kick, he was gazza's-laces away from touching that in

    3. Rover
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm actually hoping he blanks and drops by 0.1 before I get him in for next week!

    Spurs look really good. Gonna be handing out a few thumpings this year.

    Should've played Pickford over Lloris 🙁

        Draft doesn't exist?

        it's his sister's team that he is referring to.

        1. Grounderz
          • 14 Years

          I thought you'd be the one who looks after his sister's team?

      3. Rover
        • 9 Years

        Which team are you looking at?

    2. In FPHell

      You have 10.5m tied up in keepers?

    Tactical masterclass from Conte.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

      what, put 7 men behind the ball?

      1. Shirokov(c)

        Yes and be winning at half time, duh lol

    2. Turbolag
      • 9 Years

      Don't know why people thought he wouldn't be able to figure out a way to stop the Spurs trio.

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years

      ?....clinging on master class in the end...

    4. Rover
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't call it tactical masterclass, after all they're being distinctly outplayed out there

    5. Karan_G14

      Lol Mourinho does this every game.

      Not sure I would say it is working. I guess results-wise, it is, but there have been so many close calls for Spurs, they could have a few goals.

  15. Rainer

    HT coming at a great time for Chelsea

  16. Jolly Good

    Kane defo worth 2.5 over morata

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sure, and I own Kane....yet, I imagine Chelsea attack would be improved with Hazard and Fabregas involved. They are short-handed compared to Spurs.

  17. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Watching this game, makes me nervous just owning 1 Spurs attacker. Kane Alli Eriksen triple up will have to happen soon

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, hoping for those three titans to not deliver match after match is just never going to work.

  18. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Half time hot topic!

    which of these things do you think is the most pressing issue?

    A) Bring in a Man United Midfield, it is essential to have Pogba or Mhki, or possibly even both!

    B) Grab Hegazi before he rises more, WBA and Pulis look to be back to their defensive strength

    C) Bring in Trippier, although Spurs conceded just now, hes gonna be great, grab him whilst hes 5.4!

    D) something else! let me know your thoughts.

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Pork Pie Sausage Roll

    3. Nicks93

      A

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

      Alonso is essential!

    5. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years

      A

    6. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      a and c essential

        are you suggesting this is a troll post? or commenting about other posts?

          Na, not this one. This is a good post. Talking about a certain Rooney grav.

          1. Gazpilicueta
            • 11 Years

            oh ok. yeh i know what you mean.....

    8. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Get trippier! Would get davies as well (looks more threatening) but just don't know if rose will take his place back.

      This match was always gonna ne difficult - he will get many points in the near future

    9. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      A. Only because i have Hegazi and Bavies.

  19. borat

    unlucky bavies owners.

  20. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Exciting match for sure. As a Davies owner, and Kane (c), oh so close to getting some points. Game of inches. Courtois has been very good. Great free kick by Alonso. I hope the second half is as exciting.

  21. Waxys
    • 8 Years

    Lol @kane owners justifying their 12.5 August blank machine

    Soon to be 12.4 by the time he's against Burnley

      stop jinxing it you goon

      1. Waxys
        • 8 Years

        I really couldn't care if he scores or blanks tbh just enjoying the banter

      2. Sánchez

        This

    2. Debauchy

      Well , kinda hoping for that tbh

    3. X Trapnel
      • 8 Years

      I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown every time he hits the post.

      It's all a good laugh though.

      There's the second half to break this ball-breaking stat...

      Otherwise, yes.

  23. Gooner97
    • 12 Years

    Monreal to Trippier or Jones/Blind?

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Trippier

  24. R Whites
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Straight swap JWP >> Mooy or wider changes..? (0 in bank)

    Foster - Elliot
    Luiz - Cedric - Mee - Simpson - Rangel
    Mhki - KdB - Mane - JWP - Carroll
    Lukaku - Kane - Mounie

  25. The Yorkshire Pirlo

    Kane cap for second gwk running, could've have us so many points 🙁

    1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
      • 9 Years

      Had us*

    2. X Trapnel
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Still the second half. Here's confidence for you: one goal in open play, one penalty.

    3. BananaNose Maldonado

      Just bad luck, really.

    Gotta love Breitbart and their picture of Podolski.

  27. Red Dagger ✪

    How many times has Kane hit the woodwork now..? 4? More carpentry than Jesus....

  28. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Tempted to double up on Spurs wing backs

    Stephens,Kolasinac > Trippier,Davies

    1. X Trapnel
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not a bad idea at all.

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      But that limits you to only one attacker. I still think two are/will be essential.

  29. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Need this Chelsea clean sheet gone. Spurs should let Rose go - Davies is good at LWB and takes corners.

  30. laplana
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Don't get Trippier yet...

    Aurier to Spurs confirmed???
