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.

          I got rid of Lukaku but not because of his form but because he was going down in price and had tough fixtures anyway. I always thought Lukaku would do well because I'm an Everton fan. I definitely wouldnt of got rid of him if he wasn't going down

      That sums me up exactly this season. I ride out a bunch of 1's and 2's for weeks for some of my players, get frustrated then do Oscar, Lukaku & Barkely -> Ravel, Sess & VP this week for an 8pt hit. And then this happens, this season can piss off already.

        Which is why I'm keeping Ozil.

        I only got rid of Lukaku as a combination of poor fixtures and an alternative in Remy.

          Yup, I'm happy with Oscar and Lukaku tbh, glad I stuck with them.

          Lukaku still has good stats, comes out well with the comparison tool vs Remy too. A blank v Palace doesn't mean he's useless.

          Same with Oscar - start of the season he was the Chelsea mid to have, but a couple of blanks combined with Hazard hauls see people jump ship but they've been burned by doing so.

          I dropped Ozil to get Kun a couple of weeks ago, which paid off, but only as I had no other option, wouldn't be transferring him out if I owned him

        Yup, I think a 15 point gap at this point should work out in my favour.

        It would take 3/4 goals from Benteke and Aguero to overtake me. Which is definitely possible, but hopefully I've got this

    Anyone see the derby? Heard Glenner was at fault for one of Lukaku's goals ?

      No, Walcott is being so overhyped it's almost funny

        He's not overhyped, he was just about the best midfielder to have last season.
