Fortunes change fast in the premier league; Citeh were meant to have won the league by now weren't they? On the way to the quadruple? Raheem Sterling ballon d'or? The Liverpool goal machine malfunctioned against Mourinho, and Tottenham couldn't beat West Bum or Heung-Min Son rejects Leverkusen. Football eh?
Looking ahead to the fixtures, prediction's always tricky after Europe, but Arsenal looked tasty and have two easy games coming up against M'boro and Sunderland. Liverpool, after their tricky opening fixture list, have a good run until December. So it might be worth looking at Walcott, Sanchez, Coutinho, Firmino and potentially some undervalued Liverpool defenders...
Totally worth it
Captain Marvel
Sergio "always captain Kun" Aguero (£13.1m) vs. Soton (h)
Although it turned out to be a very poor decision last week, as he came on and missed a penalty to achieve a -1 score, doubled to -2 if he was your skipper, this week looks rosier so keep the faith. He only played the last 15 minutes against Barca when they were thumped on Wednesday, so will most likely be restored to the lineup on Sunday. The only worry being that City seem less invincible these days, and Soton's defence has been staunch of late.
The day has finally come to celebrate chicken loving Joe Allen
Buy Low
Restaurant Joe Allen (£4.9m) vs. Hull (a)
Famous for the thespian crowd and the off-menu burger, there's now something new on the menu - goals! He's got four in his last three outings for a largely poor but improving Stokalona team who in the last few years have tended to start the season slowly before cruising to 9th. Wee Joe's been given a more attacking role in a talented midfield, currently keeping Barca boy Bojan out of the team. Plus, you know... Hull.
Puntsville, USA
Loris Karius & Dejan Lovren (£4.9m) vs. West Bum (h)
This seems cray right? But when you look at the other top sides' back lines, where else can you get two starting members of the back five for under £5m each? Can Liverpool defend though? That's another question. The first choice back five have only started a couple of games this season, picking up their first clean sheet on Monday and have an easier run coming up.
