Six three o’clock kick-offs get the Gameweek underway, with the likes of Santi Cazorla, Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines carrying the bulk of interest, with many of the Fantasy big guns to play this evening and Sunday lunchtime.

Our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is now open to capture all the emotion from today’s games, including United’s trip to Villa Park for the evening kick-off.

Today’s team news brings a few surprises, not least the news that Peter Odemwingie has been “rested” to the West Brom bench despite his two goals against Southampton on Monday night. Stoke boss Tony Pulis is able to recall Glenn Whelan to his midfield and also opts to give Matt Etherington a rare start, with Michael Kightly, somewhat surprisingly dropping to the bench. Nigel Adkins makes a string of changes for the Saints with Jack Cork and Luke Shaw earning their first league starts – Jason Puncheon also makes a return, although this time, Rickie Lambert keeps his starting role. Ashkan Dejagah earns a Premier League bow for Fulham at the Emirates, while Steve Sidwell and Kieran Richardson also make a return for the Cottagers. Theo Walcott makes a start for the home side – can he spark a Gunners win?

Join our Dugout Discussion Chatroom and join your Fantasy football peers throughout today’s action.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    37 points with Rafael, Clichy, Mata, van Persie (c) and Suarez to play.

    Was gonna captain Berbatov or Suarez this morn and take the risk, I just fancied him to score a couple today....and he did. Berbatov is a must IMO, he will have the odd crappy ineffective game, but more often than not he will score and assist. The man is class and clinical. Just look at his overall points in the last 4/5 seasons guys. He was doing it at Spurs under Jol.

    Just hoping van Persie can score similar now, I'll kick myself for not taking the plunge with Berbatov earlier.

    van Persie hat-trick anyone?

    All set for my highest points if the rest to play do well.

    I can see a lot of people shipping Cazorla out this week. Anyone who watched it will have seen that he was just too deep, continually assisting the assister. I'm not sure why though. Maybe Arsenal have shifted tactics to feed the wings more?
