Sunday’s football feast continues apace with two main courses. Bournemouth will try to put an end to Tottenham Hotspur’s eight-match unbeaten streak when Mauricio Pochettino’s men pay them a visit, while the Manchester clubs do battle at Old Trafford.

Despite conceding fewer shots (44) than Arsenal (55) across the last four Gameweeks, the Cherries ranked joint-top for big chances conceded (15), promoting investment in Spurs’ attacking recruits. The Lilywhites, however, have established a resolute last line of defence, conceding the fewest goals (three) and big chances (three) since Gameweek 6. In fact, no side has watched their net ripple on fewer occasions (seven) than Tottenham this campaign.

If the form of both sides is anything to go by, the Manchester derby promises to be a high-scoring affair. From Gameweek 5 onwards, Man City (14) and Man United (12), place first and third, respectively, for goals scored, with the former carding a whopping 11 goals in their previous two outings. Notwithstanding their dominance from an attacking perspective, the Sky Blues rank joint-fourth for goals conceded (eight) over the last four Gameweeks, casting doubt over their clean-sheet prospects.

        10 years, 3 months ago

          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          especially for me with darmian on the bench

      • Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Rose booked.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Off then? Already had a yellow

      • OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Kane cross, Boruc punch the ball, which changed the direction, Lamela tap in = no assist
        if that was a Kane shot, it was assist

        1. Root
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          That's what I thought. But I'm not an assist expert.

      • Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Martial is playing deeper than Valencia

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Was just thinking that, apart from a narrow channel in front of him......

      • Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

      • Milner4eva
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        So, which two out of Darmian, Prodl and Muniesa need to go? Got 2ft

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Definitely muniesa. Prodl next

          1. Milner4eva
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah, I agree with Muniesa, completely finished

            Only thing better about selling Darmian than Prodl is the price

      • Alittude

          1. Alittude
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            Yes he eats it at the smackdown hotel

      • Bubz

        10 years, 3 months ago

        Rooney's days have to be numbered in this side

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          You'd think so.. but no

        2. Zizoulicious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Depends how long LvG is there

          • 14 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          You would think so, rooney of old would have tried to curl one in the back of the net

        4. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          LvG needs to strip the captaincy off him first. Won't do that in the middle of the season...

      • fickle
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        that knick knack paddy whack song that United sing makes me cringe every time

        1. Gaz Downright
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          +1

          all of their songs are, to be frank

      • Gaz Downright
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        I want Rose off at half time.

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          No 🙁 No Davies on the bench so 🙂

          1. Gaz Downright
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 3 months ago

            I don't see your point here. Rose is not focused at all. Vertonghen left back or whoever.

        2. Zizoulicious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          No Ben Davies on the bench

      • HammersFan
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Next gw:

        Spurs home to villa
        Everton home to Sunderland

        Lukaku/Barkley
        Kane/Eriksen/lamela

        Tough deciding who I want to take a punt on this time
