In the final match of Gameweek 5, Tottenham Hotspur entertain Chelsea.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

The big news for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers is that Son Heung-min (£10.0m) returns from injury and starts for Spurs, as does team-mate Eric Dier (£4.6m).

Cristian Romero (£4.9m) and Giovani Lo Celso (£5.9m) also feature in the XI having returned from quarantine, while the injuries sustained by Lucas Moura (£6.5m) and Steven Bergwijn (£6.0m) in the Europa Conference League keep them out.

Japhet Tanganga (£4.6m) is suspended after his red card in Gameweek 4.

As for Chelsea, goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga (£4.9m) suprisingly starts with Edouard Mendy (£6.0m) absent from the squad.

Andreas Christensen (£5.0m) also gets the nod, which means Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.0m) will be deployed as a wing-back with Reece James (£5.6m) on the bench.

N’Golo Kante (£4.9m) returns from injury but Jorginho (£5.9m) and Mateo Kovacic (£5.1m) are preferred in central midfield, with Kai Havertz (£8.3m) and Mason Mount (£7.4m) supporting Romelu Lukaku (£11.6m)

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Royal, Romero, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Ndombele, Alli, Lo Celso, Son, Kane

    Need advice. Currently on Dias+Lukaku. For next gameweek,

    A) Lukaku> Vardy for a week punt
    B) Dias> Digne/Shaw/R.Perriera
    C. Stick

    Going into the late game with Lukaku(C) and James and coming out with 4pts from a 3-0 win feels painful but ah well, will teach me not to take risks with captaincy when I have someone like Salah v Palace as an option.

    What an enjoyable day of football both fantasy & reality. After a slow start & poor first half a 0 3 away win at Spurs, with no Lukaku GI (non owner until GW 7) Held my overall rank after taking a hit & beat my main mini league rival who played his wildcard & I've still got mine to play. Happy days!

    Congrats to all Chelsea DF owners who went early before GW 7.
