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.

      I've got more pressing issues unfortunately. If I had none I'd get rid of him though, probably for Fer, Redmond or Bannan.

      Deulofeu for sure, such an exciting player. Having said that, I'm glad he's been given a slow introduction, don't want him to burn out like Walcott/Sterling/Ox have all done in the past

    Really want Lukaku for his upcoming fixtures. Obviously not shipping Suarez. City have been scoring for fun so I'm keeping Aguero. United are struggling so is it really that mental to swap Rooney for Lukaku?

        Of the three, Rooney's the only one to do it for. Dunno, need to think hard about this one.

      Rooney is the only option, which I did last week. Not sure I would do it again though. Frdtrating that MNU have not midfield options. Probably of greater concern to Moyes than me though. 😆

      If you feel Lukaku will outscore him then no, or if you feel you can make up the points difference with the extra cash.

      I'm sticking with Rooney personally, scoring for fun.

        My team does feel like it's pretty stretched in places so the extra cash would be handy.
