After Arsenal swept aside Everton at Goodison Park, we turn our attentions to Wembley Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool bring the curtain down on Gameweek 9.
All eyes are on Harry Kane, who is still seeking his first league goal at Spurs’ temporary home.
Despite that record, he is second only to Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Gameweek 9 captaincy – 18.4% of FPL managers have handed him the armband.
Given that only two of the top 10 captains have scored so far, a haul from Kane could have a major impact on the overall standings.
Elsewhere for the hosts, Ben Davies is passed fit to return but surprisingly has to settle for a spot on the bench along with Danny Rose.
Sold by over 195,000+ FPL managers last week, the Welshman has started just two of the last five Gameweeks and next faces a weekend trip to Old Trafford.
For the visitors, Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino have the chance to play their way into our plans as the fixtures turn in Liverpool’s favour from Gameweek 10.
And James Milner – listed as a defender in FPL – could also be one to watch as an out of position option, with Jurgen Klopp naming him in midfield this afternoon.

So much crap spoken about the Liverpool defence. How can Lovren and Fonte go from being top defenders for Southampton to crap defenders for Liverpool and West Ham? Same with Clyne.
Sometimes they make individual mistakes, but most of the time it is that they are left exposed by their midfields. Defensive shape and organisation is an important part of being a good defence - far more than just have great defenders. How do Southampton and WBA keep clean sheets then? Their defenders are average.
