The remainder of Saturday has big boots to fill. Following on from a tumultuous Merseyside goal-fest, a quintet of three o’clock kick-offs will make a bid to keep the goal count and points tallies ticking.

Fantasy managers will be focused mainly on the Emirates where the Gunners are the latest to face up to a resolute Southampton rearguard. With many holding three, four or even five assets going into this clash – the outcome looks pivotal to our Gameweek totals.

Elsewhere, Fulham look to revive their fortunes at home to Michael Laudrup’s Swansea, Hull look to protect their formidable home record against struggling Palace and Gus Poyet’s Black Cats bid to continue their rebuilding process with a tricky visit to the Britannia.

With red-hot Newcastle hosting a buoyant Norwich at St James’ Park and Chelsea making the trip to West Ham for the 5.30pm kick-off, there’s every chance that the momentum from the dramatic early kick-off at Goodison can be maintained.

Andy’s efforts on our Twitter feed brings you all the team news from today’s matches, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open and will remain so right through until the final whistle at the Boleyn Ground.

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

      Gonna score big next week! Patience have patience... To many transfers in my league and I'm 10 clear of 5 out of 10 players. Don't be so quick to loose the faith he is world class and that's why you put him in your team!

          I think yes. I got him after his last goal or assist (can't remember now) and he was crap. I kept faith however. He's had some chances in games too - hit the bar several times - a bit unlucky not to score.

    Wenger "obsessed" with signing Benzema and Varane, according to FIFA agent Francois Gallardo:

      Those two signings would make them genuine title condendors, imo.

      Good signings.

      SJ, thoughts on Ramsey as a prospect going forward with Wally in the team?

      Unfortunate he had to sit deep with Arteta coming off, but I still see some potential.

        I'm giving Ramsey one more week (facing his former team next). Waiting to pounce on Theo the moment he shows some form.

        You thinking of bringing Rambo in? I still think he's a great option...

    Rooney to Remy to get Theo.

    Seems like a good idea, but look at United's fixtures after Spurs. Major risk perhaps?

    I think my defence is ok for the next couple of weeks, especially if Rat will be fit to play against Fulham. I want to get rid of Ozil as I don't think he's worth that much and I'm thinking of upgrading Aguero to RVP later on. What would you do?

    1) Ozil -> Walcott
    2) Ozil -> Oscar
    3) Ozil -> Coutinho
    4) Ozil -> Sessegnon
    5) Other move
