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.

    He's got to be worth 7.0. Better than most midfielders at that price

      You mean like Willian. I was criticised for daring to compare them because they're different positions.

        If you have him you have to never bench

      • Pratik
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        That's also stupid in hindsight, just thought Spurs might be solid at the back

        You benched a 7m defender who plays as an attacking midfielder for the reigning premier league champions. Oops.

        Nobody puts Alonso in the corner.

          Imagine thinking you've been rewarded for patience when one of your defenders scores in GW2.

          Keeping someone after 1 gameweek beeing called patience is really telling of this knee-jerky panic mode that ensued after GW1.

    25. Lone Wolf

      Was Ritchie and Atsu both poor today?

        8 years, 7 months ago

        *Were

        I've got them both and I'm holding for one more game.

        Whoever performs worst is out. If it's even, Ritchie is gone

        1. EWH2020
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Both shocking

      2. Ntchampionees
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I didnt think ritchie looked too bad, in comparison to the rest of his team. Painful to watch, went for a mcflurry instead of watching the last half hour tho. Ritchie was a lot more visable than atsu
