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.

        I don't don't see him as a defender. But 7m for a mid is expensive, and without CSs he is struggling to justify the price tag at the moment,

      Cazorla is continuing to look like Modric, with regards to assisting the assister...........growing weary of him quickly.

      Also, I think im going to start shifting Everton coverage, regardless of their fixtures. This is a shocking halftime scoreline. Sunderland have been crap and could be 3 up to be fair.

      Baines offers so much going forward but I think i'd rather have a 7.4 mid in Michu, who actually plays up front, than no CS's and no attacking guarantees. 45mins left.

      Pienaar....meh.....bored of him for weeks.

        Funny, I had the exact same Modric thought about Cazorla after Arsenal's second goal. Without doubt a very good player and a really important one for Arsenal but not necessarily a really good fantasy prospect. I'll be ditching him this week I think.
