Matt Le Tissier will attempt to complete a clean sweep of Soccer Saturday pundits when he takes on Phil Thompson in this week's Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-Side head-to-head.

Le Tiss' Saints knowledge helped him see off Fantasy Football Club's Paul Merson for Leicester against Southampton, before beating Charlie Nicholas in Tottenham versus Manchester United in their winner-stays-on competition. The Soccer Saturday pundit with the most wins come the end of the season will win £1,000 for their charity of choice.

The usual £10,000 is up for grabs for entrants of the free-to-play game in Saturday Night Football, with Chelsea hosting Manchester City, live on Sky Sports 1HD at 5.30pm.

Matt Le Tissier (undefeated with two wins from two)

Sergio Aguero - On his day he's the best striker in the Premier League and the sort of explosive player that can go out and score four goals in a game. I'll settle for a hat-trick this weekend.

Also See:

Kevin De Bruyne - You've simply got to have De Bruyne in your team. He scores goals and sets them up and, as he showed in the Champions League quarter-finals, is a big-game player.

Oscar - He may not have the goals as the aforementioned two but he creates chances and completes passes, so is going in as my safe pick of the bunch.

Fernandinho - He's all action, with passes, tackles and interceptions all day. I'll be hoping he can stay clear of the referee's attention, though, having picked up six bookings in the league and another one in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Willian - His goals may have dried up of late but he's still probably been Chelsea's best player this season and always provides a threat from set-pieces.

David Silva - I've packed my team with attacking midfielders in the expectation of an open game and, while Silva has had a relatively poor season, it says it all about his standards that he's still got 11 assists.

Phil Thompson (debutant)

Diego Costa -  Aguero is obviously a great player but I'd be concerned that he might not start after picking up a few knocks during their Champions League exploits, so I'm going with the well-rested Costa.

Gary Cahill - With Chelsea being at home there's obviously a chance they get a clean sheet and Cahill has always got a goal in him when he comes up for set-pieces.

Pedro - He's been having a better time of it with a couple of recent braces, so I'd fancy him to get on the scoresheet if it's an open game.

Kevin de Bruyne - Like Le Tiss says, he's an obvious pick. My only worry is whether he'll play the full 90 minutes having only just come back from injury.

Fernando - I'll have Fernando over Le Tiss' Fernandinho pick with him playing in a deeper role and completing plenty of simple passes.

David Silva - On his day he's the whole package for a Fantasy player, with passes, assists and goals.
