With the title race back on, we turn to five Premier League encounters to keep the Gameweek rolling, before Manchester City look to maintain the Chelsea chase with three points against Everton at the Etihad.

Fantasy managers will be concentrating their attention on two venues in particular, with QPR hosting fellow strugglers Burnley at Loftus Road, whilst Arsenal and Alexis Sanchez pay visit to the Britannia to take on Stoke.

Sanchez is undoubtedly the most popular asset on show before Sergio Aguero takes to the turf this evening, as the Chilean looks to extend his run of seven goals in as many league outings. The Gunners are also chasing a third straight clean sheet, although Mark Hughes’ Potters are unlikely to give them an easy ride – the big team news from the Britannia is that Olivier Giroud earns a recall, with Danny Welbeck benched.

As for QPR, Charlie Austin will be carrying the hopes of both Harry Redknapp and a horde of Fantasy managers as he looks to continue a rich vein of scoring form when the Clarets pay visit. Danny Ings will be one to watch for the visitors in a battle of the budget strikers down at Shepherds Bush.

Elsewhere this afternoon, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen take increased ownership into the White Hart Lane encounter with Crystal Palace, whilst at Anfield, Liverpool (with Steven Gerrard benched again) will look to build on the 3-1 midweek win over Leicester with another three points against visiting Sunderland. Hull City’s Humberside date with West Brom rounds off the day’s offerings, before we take the trip to Manchester to catch the latest episode of the Aguero show.

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

    8. Guidinho
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, decided a while ago that he was more than adequate cover for Costa and think so even more. Gutted as Hull could have been a goal fest but the assist and 2bps saved my wrists.

        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Boyd only scores when Costa is benched. So 4 Costa Yellow cards till the next Boyd goal.

    2. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      chadli to come in on 60 min mark score and assist.. he's a lazy player so coming on late is better for him

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

    When are we going to sack Wenger already

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No chance, we'll win 2-1 and he'll have that smug smile on his face again.

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Will be draw

    2. Declan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He'll never get sacked. I do think he'll walk though if we miss out the 3rd/4th place trophy.

    3. slurzy

      You know if it weren't for him, that bloke in your avatar wouldn't be there dragging you up the table...

      1. Debauchy
        • 12 Years

        lol *this

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I find it hilarious how whenever Arsenal go a goal down their fans start moaning about Wenger not being sacked yet

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        indeed

      2. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Wait till it's two goals

      3. Debauchy
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Obviously and mainly the younger fans, so do understand, they have never witnessed Arsenal doing well.
        Im still gratefull for what Wenger has done for the club and like to see him leave with dignity - deserves it.

      Got a 3 year contract. If you want success go support Chelsea

      1. UnderstandablyDistraught
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        there's too much plastic in the world already

    6. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      stupid

  12. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    If you got him @ 9 you should IMO. If there were 2 different goal scorers for Castle today he'd have all 3 bonus for himself.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      should what? sell?

    2. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      This for me? Yeah, got him@ nine

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yes. Keep.

    3. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I got him at 9 but am selling for Haz. Just think Haz has the potential to really hurt non-owners. Remember that hat-trick last year? Hull at home next could be very dangerous.

      Funding the transfer by doing Chambers to Yun

  13. Oz lotto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Coutinho gets into such great areas and fluffs his final pass too often

  14. Purps
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Purps would have scored that.

  15. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Why the f could we not take that quick! Idiotic ref

    How is Lamela starting this game?

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Hes hardly had a touch, Bolasie currently bossing things

    2. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Because Poch is a tool.

  18. Flying Nugget
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Bolasie first sub, feeling very uneasy

  19. RÏɠBY
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    gibbs would have scored that

  20. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Some awesome moves from Bolasie and Eriksen in Spurs-Palace game.

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

    Some of Liverpool's players are fairly bad.
    They really look like a group of mid-table talents trying to be a top 4 side.
    Sterling has potential and Sturridge is great but the rest are very bleh.

    1. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      why are you just now realizing this?

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

        Haven't really watched them this year and watching the game now they all look a bit crap.
        Henderson, Coutinho etc gave off the impression that they were at least tidy enough when Suarez was about but taking the magic out of the team proves that they're just really average players. Suppose the title race last season fooled me into thinking they had more potential than they actually do.

        1. mgilbert86
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          sturridge gerrard sturridge explained that year for me

          1. Jax
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Suarez you mean

    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Triple Chelsea = 5 points today.

    If welbeck plays 2 minutes and benteke smashes in a hat trick tomorrow I might have to quit this game

  25. HVT

    Is Pantilimon keeping Mannone on the bench? Thinking of breaking up Krulliot for him.

    1. Zep
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago
