Gameweek 11 serves up a half-dozen early-afternoon kick-offs for Fantasy managers to sink their teeth into. The top four scoring sides this term are all in action, with Manchester City’s home tie against Norwich City shaping up to be a Fantasy goldmine.

Over the last four Gameweeks, Man City ranked second for goals (12), big chances (12) and shots on target (31), despite drawing 0-0 with Manchester United last time out. Moreover, the Sky Blues have tallied six more goals (17) and 10 more shots on target (43) in their home clashes than any other team, highlighting their dominance at the Etihad. Ally this with the fact that Norwich City rank second for goals conceded (13) and first for shots inside the box conceded (58) in road fixtures, and the Canaries could be in for a long afternoon.

Arsenal go in pursuit of their fifth successive win when they lock horns with Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium. The Gunners have dominated the attacking metrics in the last four Gameweeks – ranking top for goals (13), shots inside the box (60) and big chances (14) – and will be encouraged in the knowledge that only five teams conceded more shots inside the box than Swansea (34) over that same period. There’s also scope for the Swans to improve in the final third, given that only Watford (eight) and Aston Villa (10) chalked up fewer attempts on target (12).

The unstoppable force meets the immovable object as Leicester City make the trip to West Bromwich Albion. The Foxes chart third for goals scored (20) this campaign and haven’t drawn a blank in 10 Gameweeks. In addition, only two teams have netted more goals in road fixtures (nine) than Claudio Ranieri’s troops. The Baggies, meanwhile, rank top for clean sheets (five) since Gameweek 4 and only conceded in one of their five home match-ups – so something’s got to give.

Crystal Palace will look to secure just their third win in seven outings when they play host to Manchester United, who’ve notched three shut-outs in four matches. Newcastle look to dispel their derby-day blues as they invite Stoke City to St James’ Park, having put six past Norwich in their last home encounter. Watford’s head-to-head with West Ham United at Vicarage Road caps off the day’s Premier League action, with the visitors striving to extend their seven-game unbeaten streak.

    So taking Ighalo out in GW10 for Vardy isn't exactly paying off.

    I won't hold it against him if purely for his brilliant chant the Watford fans have come up with.
