The first of four remaining Double Gameweek 34 fixtures gets underway at 7.45pm as Brighton welcome Spurs to the Amex Stadium.

After a hugely underwhelming start to his pair of fixtures in Saturday’s home loss to Man City, Harry Kane has the chance to atone against a Seagulls’ defence without a clean sheet in their last 12 attempts.

The Spurs striker was second only to Mohamed Salah by the narrowest of margins (18.28% vs 18.32%) for the armband, while over 71,000+ have played their Triple Captain chip as he looks to chase down the Liverpool winger in the race for the Golden Boot.

Kane starts this evening along with Christian Eriksen, while Son Heung-min returns to the teamsheet after featuring off the bench at the weekend.

Boasting a 17% ownership, the South Korean has four goals and an assist in his last four league starts. Along with another of tonight’s starters, Serge Aurier, he was on the scoresheet in a 2-0 win at Wembley when the two sides last met in Gameweek 17.

But Dele Alli owners are left with just a two-point haul from Double Gameweek 34, as the midfielder is left out altogether ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final against Man United.

Lucas Moura earns a rare start for the visitors out wide, as does Toby Alderweireld in defence, with Davinson Sanchez the man to make way.

They’ll look to rein in the Seagulls’ Glenn Murray, who was on the scoresheet in Saturday’s loss at Crystal Palace.

The veteran is in fine form in front of his own fans, firing five goals in his last six starts at the Amex Stadium.

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

    A lot of build up play through the midfield, lacking in the final 3rd on both sides...

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Beehive yourself

      1. Bees4Lyf

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Coincidently, most goals are scored in the final third.

    Will Kane ever score again? Probably when I don't captain him he will

    1. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Yeah in fa cup

  3. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Kane(c) can just equal Salah single game this week. What a shame.

    1. LÖrKingMuch
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Match not over yet, stay positive

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Seeing him play, i just cant find any positive

    2. Kanga roo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Stop being so dramatic and grow a pair

  4. Delhidynamo
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Murray Masterclass incoming

  5. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Kane can score out of nothing though

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      No. He always needs service.

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Just got to get it within range of his shoulder

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Exactly. Doesn't even need to touch it.

  6. Weasel51
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Aurier and Sissoko are awful, awful footballers

  7. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Kane has blanked in 17 or the 33 (52%) matches he has played.

    8 of the 16 matches he did play he score 10 or more points (50%)

    That means you are only getting a score worthy or a captaincy a quarter of the time.

    Surely these are the stats we should be focusing on?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Well give us something to compare it too. What about Lukaku or Sterling ?

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        I’ll do Sterling and Salah

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      of* my god damn phone tonight!!!!!

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      You catch Kane at the right time and he is gold ...

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        25% of the time isn’t great though

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          That’s the skill of the game - captain him when you hauls

  8. Richd
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Kane isn’t Messi. He needs chances created for him. They’ll come. But he plods about.

    Nobody seen him play before ?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      See above

  9. Setpiecemad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Kane does not like scoring goals in months starting with "A"

  10. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Son & Moura sre so wasteful. Reason why there are sooo little chances up front.

  11. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Mods out in force tonight 😮

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Ville Ronkas blushes saved

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Rockers will win this one.

  12. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Brighton play some nice stuff, hope they stay up.

    Gross is a lovely player too. Brighton doing well to have him

  13. Numb
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    Harry Kane's movement has been quite good so far but he hasn't quite had the service to make an impact.

    When you're struggling for goals, as he has been recently with only one in his last six, it can effect you and I think he is struggling with a bit of fatigue.

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Need Delol Allol on the pitch

  14. @fpl_phenom
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    if Alonso appeals the ban might the delay in the process result in him being eligible for the FA cup match?

  15. HNI
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

    If we have fa semi of this Spurs vs Brighton vs that Manutd from WBA match its gonna be a poor day in football

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Man U are playing so go in with low expectations

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Haha okay.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      Both sides will set up against better opposition

  16. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

  17. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 17 days ago

  18. Je suis le chat

    Spurs are starting to look poor on paper, even Lloris has regressed.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 17 days ago

      On paper?

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 17 days ago

        Not much quality, Walkers loss very apparent.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          Like, the players aren't good?

    2. @fpl_phenom

      8 years, 17 days ago

        This is no longer a clever comment. It's outdated. It's been retired. It's defunct. just like IDSN. Please desist.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 17 days ago

          It's not clever from the second time it's ever been used.

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 17 days ago

            Yeah, but they keep wheeling it out. Yawn.
