Fantasy managers are treated to three more fixtures this evening as double Gameweek 37 comes to a potentially dramatic conclusion. First up in the earlier kick-offs, Norwich entertain Watford and Sunderland go head-to-head with Everton at the Stadium of Light as the battle to beat the drop intensifies.

After seeing off Chelsea on Saturday, Sam Allardyce’s men are in the driving seat as they look to seal top-flight survival for another season. The Black Cats have scored seven times in their previous four but, like their visitors, sit inside the bottom five for attempts inside the box over that period, with 24 to the Toffees’ mere 16, which is joint-bottom along with Palace.

In terms of defensive data, though, Sunderland have every reason for optimism tonight. Everton have allowed their opponents a massive 63 shots inside the box in the previous four – that’s at least 19 more than any side and almost double their hosts’ 32.

Four points behind the Black Cats with two matches remaining, Norwich are in need of a miracle. The Canaries are the only side that have failed to find the net in their last quartet of league fixtures, though the defensive numbers on offer from visitors Watford afford Alex Neil’s side a degree of hope – the Hornets sit second-bottom for shots conceded inside the box (44).

In the later kick-off, Liverpool and Chelsea go head-to-head at Anfield. Despite making numerous alterations to his recent team sheets as a result of Europa League exertions, Jurgen Klopp’s side still lead the way for attempts on goal over their last four – a total of 80 is some distance ahead of their visitors’ 49. Furthermore, the Merseysiders also better the Blues for efforts in the box (41 to 33) as they look to clinch victory in their final Anfield fixture of the season.

  7. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Vito & Kaboul steam rolling PVA in the bps. Quite annoying

    1. Jones Town

    Was only a few weeks back that Newcastle fans were cheering on Sunderland to beat Norwich.

    Seems amazing to think about that now.

  9. KOLASINA(C)

    PVA winning goal baps to be added?

  10. Bubz

    1. TorresMagic™

    2. Jay_
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Wonder what 3 games Sky will show? City, Arsenal, United probably

      • Del Griffiths
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Nope, pity. Makes team selection even more of a reality.

    3. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years

      Not having PVA really hurts

    4. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      Kane will destroy Newcastle next week then

    5. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      It's amazing how those DWs can turn a below average season to a good one

    6. Crouching Tiger
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Currently on 120 points as things stand... come on Hazard!

    7. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      RAGE ALERT

      Hope Liverpool lose the EL final and miss out on Europe for all of their tinkering.
      Hope Everton get relegated next season.
      Hope United keep Van Gaal.

      Bah Humbug! 😡

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Don't you own Redmond? And you're still angry?

        1. Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Playing for my ML

          Rivals had PVA and Hazard 🙄 just can't catch a break. I make up the points somewhere and then lose them elsewhere. It's infuriating 🙁

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Carp is like a sophisticated Daniel. There I said it.

      3. drughi
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        go away you have 15 points from redmond, stop complaining

        1. Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Means nothing when your ML leader has Hazard and PVA though

          Rank is irrelevant for me at this point, all about the ML

    8. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Can't believe how Hazard has just decided to be insanely good again. That touch 😯

    9. ralfb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Play haz against leicester or get sanchez for -4?

      1. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Play Haz, get Sanchez.

        1. ralfb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Would be ideal, if money allows

          1. VS10_
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Then Sanchez

        Lukaku and studge

      3. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Why sell Defoe?

        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Studge -> DONKEY!

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          To do Lukaku to Kun as well?

      4. Ross Geller
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Lukaku & Studge --> Aguero, Kane, Martial (pick your 2)

        1. Ross Geller
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Sorry forgot about Giroud and Long. Really good options for last gw of the season

    13. Pards Against Humanity

      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

    15. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      On the other hand Rafa got relegated!!! So happy!!

      1. GAMBIT
        • 11 Years

    17. Hammers Select
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      How many points do we say is a safe lead?

      50+ points?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        yeh

      2. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Probably 30 at this stage. Would need an epic captain performance that you don't have.

      3. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Really depends on how similar your teams are. A captain decision can be 40 pts+ on its own

    18. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Cmon Couthino. Late equalizer please

      9 years, 9 months ago

      So kind of follow Liverpool but a Hazard goal or assist will,give me a ton up hmmmm. 3-2 Liv with 5mins to go too much to ask.

    22. KLOPPTOMANIA
