There are no less than seven Saturday matches to come, with the three o’clock kick-offs boasting a rich cast of Fantasy talent, presented with potentially profitable home fixtures. It’s fair to say, expectations are high.

The Emirates will come under focus as Arsenal entertain a Norwich outfit that have just one goal to their name on their travels, while at Old Trafford, Southampton put their record of four consecutive clean sheets to the test against a United side struggling to more through the attacking gears.

Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea promise returns from the back and in midfield when they encounter newly promoted Cardiff at the Bridge, while Romelu Lukaku, sporting the armband for an army of Fantasy managers, faces up to Hull City at Goodison. With Michu’s menace up against bottom club Sunderland, the day looks awash with points even before West Ham host City at Upton Park for the evening kick-off.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open and will be available right through until the final whistle at the Boleyn Ground.

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

      i am tempted to ditch Giroud for Benteke, but Giroud provides assist and goals where as all of Benteke, Lukaku and Sturridge just do goals. I would ditch anyone of you midfeilders for Oscar/Haz, Silva/Toure, Ramsey or Mirallas/Januzi (if your feeling punty)
