The festive fixture list finally draws to its conclusion this evening as Tottenham Hotspur welcome Chelsea to White Hart Lane at 8pm.

Four of the top seven captains for Gameweek 20 – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexis Sanchez, Sergio Aguero and Romelu Lukaku – have already found the net earlier in the week.

The remaining three, Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Harry Kane, have it all to do, then, with Costa the most popular of that trio – 11.6% have backed the Spain international, compared to Hazard (4.7%) and Kane’s 2.8%.

Costa, certainly, has been the more impressive of the Chelsea pair on his travels – the Spain international has scored eight away goals compared to Hazard’s two.

Yet the league leaders won’t have it easy – Spurs boast the tightest home defence in the top-flight, with just five goals against in front of their own fans.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have been similarly resilient, conceding just one goal in six away matches since Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 set-up.

Nonetheless, many Fantasy managers will be keeping a keen eye on Kane along with Deli Alli and Christian Eriksen, with the fixtures set to smile kindly on Spurs from Gameweek 21 onwards.

      Lallana goes one game without points and you want to sell him.

      1. rivercityransom
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        stats don't look too great

      2. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        I think it's more that he wants the man who has scored 3 consecutive braces from midfield.

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Don't think I'll sell Eriksen.

  13. Yome
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Arsenal out of top 4 lol

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      They'll make the top 4, it's what they do.

      1. The Wizard of Ozil
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Making top is definitely my bag, signed by Arsene Wenger

      2. Yome
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        They could do 5th this year for a change.

      3. You Must Be Jokin Ere
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Think this will be the year they miss out- Pool, Chelsea, Man U and Spurs for me

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      City out of the top 4

    3. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      They'll be back soon enough 🙂

  14. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Pedro to Phillips tonight?

    1. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Think Pedro is the best Chelsea mid option, I'd try and find another way to bring in Phillips

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Really? Don't think he's nailed for a start.

  15. David Brains - OH NO!
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Hazard + Carroll--> Ali + Defoe (-4)

    Yes or no? I have Costa and no other Spurs cover if that makes a difference.

  16. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    How does Walker not get booked in this game, a NL derby? He gets booked in every other game.

    1. greghammer95
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Search for Chelsea on google maps please.

      1. Champione

      2. fedolefan

  17. Elijah's Wood
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    How do we see Chelsea lining up when Victor Moses goes to AFCON?

    Is Alonso expected to drop back to cover while Willian and Pedro play on the wings?

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Moses ain't going, Nigeria not qualified

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 24 days ago

        Well that is worrying, means Pedro still isn't nailed

        1. Yome
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 24 days ago

          William should play ahead of Pedro IMO

          1. Elijah's Wood
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 24 days ago

            Hope was that Pedro and Willian would both play, i want one of them

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Suspect Ivanovic will come back into the team.

  18. Ten Season Wonder
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    WOW! loving this.

  19. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Is getting Alli in now on WC just a knee jerk as he will probably blank for a while again now everyone has missed the boat I feel now!

    1. greghammer95
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      He's a player in form. I wouldn't expect this from him every week but with this form could be a good pick.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      As I said - Alli and Eriksen feel like mean reversion - getting the points they have missed out on from the first 10 weeks in the last 4 weeks.

  20. AbsoluteDON
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Hazard/origi to Alli/Giroud -4 ??!

    1. David Brains - OH NO!
      • 13 Years

  24. Ten Season Wonder
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Kane owner here... DO I switch him out and bring in Dele Alli as my Spurs cover?

    Current front 8;

    Alexis - Hazard - Lallana - Phillips - De Roon
    Ibra - Kane - Negredo

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      No

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      No - team looks good if you could get Lukaku for Negredo.

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

  27. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 24 days ago

    Chelsea won 13 games in a row and only have a 5 point lead to show for it. Leicester/Liverpool away + Arsenal home in their next 4 games.

    1. ONSIDE 9
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 24 days ago

      Yep, as good as they have been it's still pretty close.
