Saturday’s events kick-off with a relegation humdinger. Southampton will consider themselves close to safety as Mauricio Pochettino continues to inspire some vibrant performances but opponents Reading are fighting for survival, with three points a necessity. Throw in the fact that the Royals’ new boss, Nigel Adkins, is facing his former club and we have ourselves a tasty scenario as our amouse bouche for the Gameweek.

Three more matches follow at three o’clock, with Norwich hosting Swansea, Stoke facing off against Villa and West Brom taking on Arsenal at the Hawthorns. Fantasy managers will perhaps be looking to that final clash in the main, with Santi Cazorla continuing to hoover up new owners this week ahead of his two fixtures in Gameweek 33.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open for business, plying its trade by soaking up your real-time reactions as every pass, tackle and shot is played out.

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

    Heh. Villa win, so I'm absolutely chuffed, but am potentially left with only one defender and one keeper for next week.

    Dawson, Davies = no fixture
    Wilson, Bunn = injured today
    Pearce = dropped

    Add in a possibly injured Walcott to the mix, and 11 players looks hard to reach, even if with two free transfers.

      No point taking 4 pt hit for defender just because he has a double. At least we'll get one bonus game out of him.

      They are a s h i t e football team. They add nothing to the PL. Heineken Cup is where they should be playing.
