Rezaa Sait: Of course I used my Fantasy wildcard to add Havertz, Rice and Martinelli in my team, and to add to the pain, Havertz was my captain. That's absolutely fantastic.
There's no Havertz, Rice or Martinelli in Arsenal's starting XI today.

Image source, Getty ImagesI wouldn't say these next two games are defining as to whether Oliver Glasner keeps his job, but the club know they have to start performing better and soon.
It is clear they trusted him last season when he arrived and did a good job, so I am sure there is a belief that he can still do that job this campaign.
Aston Villa v Crystal Palace (15:00 GMT)
Image source, Getty ImagesOne win in 11 Premier League games and anchored in the relegation zone, one point from safety.
It been a tough old start to the season season for Crystal Palace who really need some points before they play Manchester City (home on 7 December) and Arsenal (home 21 December).
Palace did win at Villa Park in the League Cup last month.
But they haven't won here in the Premier League for 11 years.
Arsenal v Nott'm Forest (15:00 GMT)
Image source, Getty ImagesThere's only two clubs that remain unbeaten away from home in the Premier League - leaders Liverpool and...Nottingham Forest.
You have to go back to 21 April to find the last time Forest were defeated on the road. Since that 2-0 defeat at Everton, Nuno Espirito Santo's side have won five and drawn two.
Their next two away games in the league after this? Manchester City on 4 December followed by Manchester United three days later.
Everton v Brentford (15:00 GMT)
Fara Williams
Former England midfielder on Football Focus
Image source, Getty ImagesSean Dyche is a manager that knows the Premier League, the players are comfortable with him and he is a manager that will keep Everton in the league. From now until the end of the season at least he is the right man for the job, then the new owners can reassess in the summer.
Everton v Brentford (15:00 GMT)
Fara Williams
Former England midfielder on Football Focus
This season is going to be a struggle for Everton. The fans know that it is going to be similar to what they have seen in recent years. The important thing for them as a club is to stay in the Premier League with the takeover and the stadium move to come.
Everton v Brentford (15:00 GMT)
Joe Hart
Former Man City and England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
With the way Sean Dyche worked you needed to prove yourself to get into the team.
With Dwight McNeil, he broke the mould, Dyche let him be free, he roamed and he had confidence.
McNeil is very quiet, but when the ball is at his feet he really expresses himself. He is one of those players who doesn't even look like he's trying, but I know he is.
Everton v Brentford (15:00 GMT)
Glenn Murray
Former Brighton striker on Football Focus
Dwight McNeil has really gone under the radar, especially when he plays in the number ten position. He is so effective off the left hand side but he is starting to dictate play a little bit more in that central role.
For a long time when you looked at Everton in attacking areas you looked at Dominic Calvert-Lewin but he hasn't really fulfilled that potential. McNeil has come into the ten role and is creating and scoring goals.

Glenn Murray
Former Brighton striker on Final Score
There are conversations around Steve Cooper's job at Leicester City but when you look at the table, where do you expect them to be? I think he is doing really well.
Bournemouth v Brighton (15:00 GMT)
Chris Wise
BBC Radio 5 Live reporter at the Vitality Stadium
Image source, Getty ImagesThe tunnel talk at the Vitality Stadium could be about how to beat Manchester City. Both Bournemouth and Brighton have done it this month.
Speak to Andoni Iraola or Fabian Hurzeler, and they’ll tell you how the other have pulled together one of the most watchable sides in the Premier League right now.
It’s a filthy day on the south coast. Just hope that doesn’t dilute what could be a very attractive game.
FT: Leicester 1-2 Chelsea
Ellen White
Former England striker on Final Score
Image source, Getty ImagesWhat Enzo Maresca had done at Chelsea is quite phenomenal. We spoke about the amount of players that he would have to manage but he has completely turned things around.
He has this consistent starting XI now that really understand his philosophy and I feel like they could be up in the Champions League spots come the end of the season.
Aston Villa v Crystal Palace (15:00 GMT)
It's four straight defeats in all competitions for Aston Villa.
Will they return to winning ways before Juventus visit Villa Park for the first time since 1983 on Wednesday in the Champions League?
Villa were defending European champions when they hosted Juve in the quarter-finals 41 years ago. They lost 2-1 in Birmingham before going down 3-1 in Italy in the second leg.
It's a big week for Unai Emery and his side who also visit Chelsea next weekend.

Shamoon Hafez
BBC Sport football news reporter at Goodison Park
One defeat in the last seven games for Everton but that does not tell the full story of their season so far.
Just two victories and 10 goals scored in 11 games has brought about some mutterings from supporters about the style of football from manager Sean Dyche.
Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has not scored in his last seven league games and needs to get firing if he is to propel the Toffees up the table.
The Blues come up against a Brentford side that have lost all five away games this term, so will the home faithful head into an extremely difficult December in high spirits?
Fulham v Wolves (15:00 GMT)
What a relief it was for Gary O'Neil and his Wolves side when they secured their first win of the season last time out against Southampton. The question is now, can they build from that?
The problem is they come up against a Fulham side who sit seventh in the table and *could* move up to fourth with a win.
Tricky one to call, this.

Are Chelsea title contenders? Not this season but quite possibly next with a new goalkeeper!

There's mixed emotions.
From Leicester's point of view you want your team to compete, but you have got to take the positives out of the game.
Arsenal v Nott'm Forest (15:00 GMT)
Image source, ReutersA reminder of the team news from the Nottingham Forest dressing room.
In-form forward Chris Wood starts on the bench after playing for New Zealand during the international break, while England midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is not involved at all.
Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has just told BBC Sport that Gibbs-White is "not in the right moment".
He says the player has been struggling since suffering a knock against Chelsea on 6 October.

Let's face it, if Arsenal are title contenders right now then so are Chelsea. Top four realistic for both teams...

Manchester City have won just three of their last 10 Premier League games against Tottenham (D2 L5) and are looking to win consecutive meetings with them for the first time since April 2019.
Tottenham have scored at least twice in each of their last three Premier League away games against Man City, winning 3-2 in 2021-22, losing 4-2 in 2022-23 and drawing 3-3 last season. No team has ever scored multiple goals in four consecutive Premier League visits to the Citizens.
Manchester City have lost each of their last four matches in all competitions. It’s Pep Guardiola’s longest losing run in his entire managerial career, while the Citizens last lost more consecutively between March and April 2006 under Stuart Pearce (6 – the fifth game of which was against Tottenham).
Though they’re the only team to have scored in every Premier League game so far this season, Manchester City have lost their last two (1-2 vs Bournemouth and Brighton). They last lost three in a row in the competition in February/March 2016, a run which included a home defeat to Tottenham.
Tottenham have won just two of their last 11 Premier League away games (D2 L7), winning just once in five on the road this term. Since the start of this spell in March, no side have lost more Premier League away games than Spurs (7).
As a team, Tottenham have made more off the ball runs into the box than any other side in the Premier League this season (612), with Dominic Solanke having the most among players (138). Spurs have also had the most shots inside the box of any Premier League side this term (134).
Tottenham have played more passes/crosses into the opposition box than any other side in the Premier League this season (429). There are 10 players in the division to have made 70+, with Spurs having three of those (Pedro Porro 96, James Maddison 77, Dejan Kulusevski 72).
Under Pep Guardiola (since 2016-17), Manchester City have lost more Premier League games (6) and conceded more Premier League goals (22) against Tottenham Hotspur than they have vs any other opponent.
No player has had more shots without scoring in the Premier League this season than Man City’s Bernardo Silva (17), while teammate Savinho has accumulated the highest xG of any player without a goal so far (1.7).
No player has created more chances either overall (30) or from open play (25) in the Premier League this season than Tottenham’s Dejan Kulusevski.
