Fantasy managers have three matches to feast their eyes on today before the international break is upon us. Up first, Spurs welcome Liverpool to the Lane as Mauricio Pochettino’s side attempt to pick up a third straight win under the new man in charge.

A host of players from both sides are on the radar this afternoon, with Christian Eriksen, Erik Lamela, Nacer Chadli and Emmanuel Adebayor key to the hosts’ chances of avenging the 5-0 humiliation that led to Andre Villas-Boas’ departure last year. Liverpool are poised for a superb run of fixtures after this match and while Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling are the obvious targets, Mario Balotelli’s display will be eagerly analysed.

Villa and Hull go head-to-head in the other 1.30pm kick-off, with Paul Lambert’s side seeking a third successive shut-out before the fixtures take a real turn for the worse.

In the final match of the Gameweek, Leicester entertain Arsenal at 4pm. Aaron Ramsey rolls up to the King Power Stadium looking to net for the third successive league match, whilst Alexis Sanchez is also finding his form – having scored the winner against Besiktas in midweek, the Chilean’s confidence is on the rise.

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

        11 years, 4 months ago

        I don't care who wins the match really. In fact, I sort of loathe Levy and thus Spurs.

        1. Fray Bentos
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 4 months ago

          fair enough - but shouldn't you be in a bunker somewhere? 😉

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 4 months ago

            No. I won't be intimidated by yous. We're on the up.

    STEVIE. G.

  4. 7shadesofsmoke

    soft one that!

  5. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years

    Gerrard, Balotelli, Lambert

    Got to fancy Liverpool in a shootout 😉

    1. Rödallegabomb á´¿á´®
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Look forward to that I'm the CL

    2. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Possibly the 3 best in the league.. Sturridge is awful at them though

  6. DIegoCosta19
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    do defenders concede points for concedeing penalties

    1. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      yes

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      In UFPL, yes, FPL, no.

  7. Mr_Partridge
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Gerrard to steal Sterlings 3bps now no doubt.

    1. DIegoCosta19
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      no please

  8. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Unbelievable.

    The amount of luck Liverpool get with pens is amazing.

    1. VougieDipond
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      blatant dive but daft defender gave him the chance

    2. The EJJ
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Don't think that's a pen?

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Not for me. It was harder for Allen to go down than stay on his feet

  9. Somalion
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    No penalty for Balo so.

  10. Billy Gilmore
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Very very soft, but stupid from Dier.

  11. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Sorry but that was never a penalty! 😯

    On a side note Gerrard has been immaculate today 😉

  12. Gimli son of Gloin
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Soft penalty.

  13. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Guess my dream was wrong

    1. DIegoCosta19
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      it was pretty close

  14. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Diverpool

  15. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Soft pen, what a surprise.

  16. Jax
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    who was saying LOL at Stevie G? 😉

  17. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    This is why I had Gerrard last season, all season.

  18. UnderstandablyDistraught
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Spuds getting mashed at home. Pretenders again

  19. JWF
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Lovely flop from Allen but Dier shouldn't be putting his hands on him like that in the area. Asking for trouble.

  20. Jack Frost
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Dier back to earth showing his inexperience.

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      No that wasnt a penalty

  21. Costa in Wengerland
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Eric died *

  22. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Liverpool dodgy penalties just keep on coming. Gerrard in

  23. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Allen is essential

  24. Gnu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Dier needs to redeem himself with his obligatory goal as standard.

  25. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Oh DIER!

  26. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Young would have got a YC for a dive for that

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      and he would have deserved it

  27. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Softest penalty I've ever seen

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      *cough* Ashley Young *cough*
      *cough* any given for a foul on Stevie-Me *cough*

  28. Kostja
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    It was a dive and a foul, fair pen IMO

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      +1

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Yup.

  29. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Stevie G punting his name up for a midfield option.

    Now watch Walcott make a 5 minute cameo today and score 😀

    1. DIegoCosta19
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      walcott finally back?

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Probably not yet..

  30. Jax
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Eric's having a Dier game

    1. Fray Bentos
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      hes going to get dropped isnt he?
