With an international break looming, we need to cherish this weekend’s action. Fortunately, on paper, the Gameweek looks to have plenty to offer us – beginning at Anfield for Liverpool’s clash with Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho’s side draw up on Merseyside sitting on the Premier League summit to find a faltering Liverpool outfit struggling for a foothold.

Brendan Rodgers men have just two wins in their last seven – a run that has prompted Fantasy managers to turn their backs on the men in red: even Raheem Sterling’s star has faded badly in recent weeks.

Sterling will have the opportunity to show his worth, going up against Chelsea’s cast of midfield heavyweights – Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Oscar. Meanwhile, up front, Fantasy managers will be monitoring Diego Costa’s sharpness. Once an “essential” asset, Costa’s recent injury woes have seen enthusiasm dampened – goals today would quickly reverse that.

The early kick-off is followed by a quartet of matches, before Chelsea’s title rivals, City, pay visit to Loftus Road.

Stick around to discuss the day’s action as it unfolds and keep one eye on our Twitter feed for all the lineup news.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Pass it Hazard, your team mates were in acres of space

    Willian on Ramires off

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Ramires off
    willian on

  4. Make United Great Again

    The way Hazard skipped passed Johnson there. Brilliant.

  5. vanishing spray
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Johnson missed Hazard by a country mile 😀

  6. Willis.
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    As if Ramires is off... Put Ramires next to Matic and move Fab up in the hole

  7. Gimli son of Gloin
    • 13 Years

    Very tempted to get in Hazard and catch those hauls.
    Definitely on the way.

      Ditto...

      as an owner i want to sell him now
      just run around, no end product

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        😮

      2. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        You'd be mad. He could have had three today.

    3. Darth

      indeed

      1. Sanket
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        No its really frustrating owning Haz. He doesn't come up with points his displays show.

  8. Werkself

    FPL aside, Sterling is enormously exciting to watch. Playing wonderful football.

      He runs funny though. No thanks.

  10. Randy_Marsh
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard is so frightening, Liverpool are giving him so much space

  11. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Christ I want Hazard. But is he worth losing Di Maria for? Not yet.

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      not from today's display

    2. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Snap. Think the only way I can realistically get him is if I sell Costa

    3. Ser Football 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Di Maria over Hazard any day

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard will score more goals imo. It's tough to weigh it up.

    4. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I want some points from him...

    5. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Think I need to find the cash to go Fab -> Haz.

      1. Would an idiot do that?
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Noooo

        1. Lucy.
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          4 YCs.

          1. Would an idiot do that?
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Think of all he's done for you!

      2. Red Devil Swede
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe both.

    6. Darth
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Is Fabregas worth losing for him?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Not if you got him at 9m

    7. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I have both with Downing and Sanchez

    8. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Think I'd rather have Haz. But maybe I'm a little biased because I do.

  12. Lucy.
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Listening to 5live as I'm on the way to see friends. Chris Waddle really needs to stop pronouncing Moreno as Mourinho. It's very confusing!

    1. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      If he stopped speaking altogether it would be fine...

    2. Rats Ass
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      At least you don't have to put up with Michael Owen and Steve 'the genius' Macmanaman.

  13. AH 🙂
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    🙂 Just out £5 on hazard next goal

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Penalty maybe!

  14. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Demi time approaching

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years

      this

  15. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Jeez imagine what an actual Hazard goal will do to this site.

    *cue penalty

    1. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I will love it if he scores, love it.

  16. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Anywhere else on the pitch and that is a foul

  17. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you rather ship to get Haz in?

    A) Sanchez
    B) AdM

    1. Pigvig
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Neither. Prefer both of them

    2. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Neither of them

    3. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I went Hazard over ADM

    4. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      ADM of the two. But ideally all three in your team... if possible.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Could be if I go Ivan > Jagielka instead of Ivan > Baines. Then do Fab > Haz.

    5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks for the replies! Prefer those two as well.

  18. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
