Derby matches are some of the most intensely exciting fixtures in world sports, and we've got two of the biggest in the Premier League bookending the action today as we begin with Tottenham Hotspur taking on Arsenal at White Hart Lane and end with Liverpool walking across Stanley Park to take on Everton at Goodison.
The big shock from the lineups in the early kickoff match between Spurs and the Gunners is that there's no place in the starting lineup for either Alexis Sanchez or Theo Walcott, who were both popular options for teams this week as it was believed one or the other would get the nod from the off. Instead, it's Danny Welbeck who returns from injury to claim his place in the starting eleven. Not too many surprises in the Tottenham squad, though Eric Dier's return to center back ahead of Federico Fazio is worth noting. How do you think this match will finish?
Following the North London Derby, there will also be matches between Aston Villa and Chelsea, Leicester City and Crystal Palace, Manchester City and Hull City, Queens Park Rangers and Southampton, and Swansea City and Sunderland before the aforementioned Merseyside Derby.
How did your fantasy team end up? Post your lineup in the comments and follow along with all of the day's action, both in the Premier League and in Fantasy. As always, good luck, and let's chat!
