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.

    Who was the most lively player on City? (attacking wise)

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No one lol.

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years

      Otamendi

        Actually, he played pretty much behind the striker much of the match and I played my free in-play bet on Yaya anytime goalscorer score. Got a couple of decent-ish chances as well, so not a bad shout, but honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the level of service, he often was getting to good chances, free of marking, and then KDB played the ball to ManU defence.

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

    2. Essaraba
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Tactics, he ran off, de Bruyne swapped sides like he knew it was the plan.

  5. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who would ow rather have

    A/ Kane and Silva
    B/ KDB and Luk.

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kane and kdb

  6. Billfred
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Exactly 8.4 to replace Martial who while wasted on the wing has to go no matter how good the fixtures. Already got Pelle so Lukaku a no brainer?

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    1. bibon27
      • 10 Years

      Vardy

    2. Harper_

  10. bibon27
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    very frustrating to see a talent like Martial being wasted...

    Martial > ????

    any recommendations?

    1. Billfred
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku, Pelle, Vardy or Kane the obvious options

  11. Harper_

    VVD is tall af
    Probably a foot taller than Pelle and he's 6"4

  12. Danno - Emre Canada

    Yaya or Mane next week?

    1. Billfred
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mane. Yaya doesn't look interested and I can see him being saved for the champions league
