The Gameweek continues with a pair of Sunday afternoon kick-offs, beginning with Fulham’s clash with Villa at the Cottage, in just a few minutes. Following on from that, two form sides clash at the Emirates as leaders Arsenal look for their seventh home victory of the season against an Everton outfit fresh from their midweek win at Old Trafford.

While those two teams are looking to extend a superb spell of results, Rene Meulensteen’s Fulham are desperately seeking to end a run of six consecutive defeats against Paul Lambert’s inconsistent Villa: they will arrive in West London unbeaten in their last four road trips in the league and boosted by the midweek win at St Mary’s.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest news on today’s teamsheets as it breaks, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain so throughout today’s matches, up until the final whistle at the Emirates.

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

    Need some help guys on the ruling.

    If, for example Lukaku kicks the ball and Mertesacker handballs it in the box and Everton score a penalty. Would Lukaku get an assist if he didn't take the penalty? Or would it be no assist?

                He looks like a footballer from the 30's though!amazingly he is awful but him apearing in the team seems to have resulted in a decent run of form.x

            Debuchy is the most nailed on, and the most likely to get attacking points.

          Done Boruc > Szczesny with my FT... Gives me:

          GW16
          Szczesny
          Coleman - Chester - Terry
          Barkley - Hazard - Ramsey - Ravel
          Aguero - Rooney - Suarez

          KD* - Luna* - Cabaye* - Clyne*

          Bank = 0

          Might to Barkley > Bannan for a hit if Ross picks up his 5th YC tonight.

          Thoughts?

            I'd bench Barkley of he picks up another yellow and play Cabaye. Southampton seem to have lost their def mojo just recently.

            Sorry to say but I think getting Chesney now was a bad move given the upcoming fixtures

          This a good idea?

          Giroud, Barkley, Skrtel ---> Lukaku, Ravel, Jagielka for -4pt hit?

          Need to get rid of Barkley so I can double up on Everton defense and get Lukaku in

          Is Giroud > Lukaku a sensible transfer considering Everton's great set of upcoming fixtures and Arsenal's tough ones?
