After Diego Costa fired Chelsea to a 1-0 win over West Brom at Stamford Bridge, we brace ourselves for a couple of 2.15pm encounters.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at Old Trafford, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Harry Kane both in fine form.

The Red Devils frontman has scored four times in his previous three Premier League outings and, with the fixtures turning in his favour next week, has the chance to stake a claim for consideration.

Sergio Aguero’s suspension has seen many turn to Kane in their droves – the Spurs man was the top transfer target up front last week.

With six goals in five in all competitions since returning from injury, he looks poised for more investment with back-to-back home clashes against Hull and Burnley to follow.

In midfield, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is also on our radars. After netting in the Europ League on Thursday, the summer signing from Dortmund retains his place in Jose Mourinho’s XI.

We’re also keeping an eye on Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli after both impressed in the midweek Champions League win over CSKA Moscow.

In the other match, Southampton and Middlesbrough square up at St Mary’s.

Charlie Austin was the most popular FPL pick on offer prior to sustaining a shoulder injury on Europa League duties last Thursday.

His absence allows Shane Long the chance to stake a claim ahead of a very favourable run of fixtures, with the likes of Sofiane Boufal and Dusan Tadic also vying for our attentions.

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