Sunday lays on a pair of titanic battles with old rivals clashing head-on. It begins at Anfield where Merseyside rivaly reaches boiling point as Liverpool host Everton in the lunchtime kick-off. Fantasy managers will be looking the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and, in opposition, Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini before our attentions turn to Old Trafford.

Sir Alex Ferguson and Rafa Benitez renew their stormy relationship at 4pm, as United look to derail Chelsea’s top four claims. With double Gameweek assets on show and Robin Van Persie still squatting in many a Fantasy squad, this one could round the day off with a flurry of points.

Our Dugout Discussion is now available for those seeking some real-time chat company while the matches unfold.

The team news from Anfield finds the home side unchanged – unsurprising given the performance last time out in the 6-0 win at Newcastle. Visitors Everton make one key change: Darron Gibson returns to midfield with Nikica Jelavic dropping out. Gibson’s return seems likely to ensure that Fellaini is pushed up against Liverpool’s centre backs, up in support of Victor Anichebe up front.

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

      Only in the last few weeks since Everton are keeping clean sheets, before he was a bit of a liability, hoping he will score from a pen of a free kick. If memory serves me correct, Everton went on a run without a clean sheet in 16 matches.
