A drab derby day on Merseyside, devoid of significant Fantasy talent and points, is at least followed by a batch of six afternoon kick-offs.

What’s more, the encounter at the bet365 Stadium looks to be hugely significant for our Gameweeks and the season run-in as a whole, with Harry Kane returning to the Spurs starting line-up at Stoke City.

The striker shrugged off his recent ankle injury to make a 16-minute appearance at Chelsea on Sunday but starts today as Erik Lamela makes way for Son Heung-min’s return to the flank.

Kane went into today’s deadline as the most signed player for Gameweek 33, with 327,000 managers swooping ahead of the Potters visit. He is also backed by 933,000 with the armband, with 21 of the top 100 managers also placing their faith in his return.

He boasts an enviable record against them, with eight goals in his last four meetings. Spurs have also won this fixture 4-0 in both their previous seasons, with Son and Dele Alli among the goals and points in those fixtures.

Son was second most signed midfielder ahead of this match, claiming 157,000+ new owners. Meanwhile, Alli only just trails that figure, with 141,000+ swooping following his three goals and two assists in his last three Gameweeks.

Elsewhere today, Leicester City are likely to be the other major point of interest ahead of a home meeting with Newcastle United.

Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy go into this match backed by 13.8% and 23.6% ownership respectively. The latter was the third most signed forward behind Kane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with 127,000 managers moving for the Foxes striker.
