Saturday rolls on with a set of five afternoon kick-offs, rounded off unceremoniously by a tea-time clash as Hull City host Stoke. Interesting.

Before that, all eyes will be on Goodison and Stamford Bridge where two prime captain candidates – namely Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard, will carry the hopes of thousands of Fantasy managers as they face up to the Fulham and Crystal Palace defences respectively.

The afternoon’s events are completed by West Brom’s trip to Cardiff, while Newcastle host Southampton and an injury-ravaged West Ham entertain Sunderland.

As always, you can look to our twitter feed for details of the major movements on the teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through today’s matches, right up until the final whistle at the KC Stadium.

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

    Has anyone, anywhere, heard anything on Aguero?

    I'm not taking him out unless he is injured for more than one game.

      pellegrini said he will see how many weeks he will be out

      but could be a mis-communcation.

          Obviously I am not a doctor but as a watcher of football like the rest of you I would be VERY surprised if Aguero is back next week. Pellegrini is already talking in weeks.

      Would still wait. Worst case scenario you can still get someone else in instead of Walcott/Silva. Worst case scenario if you make the change is Aguero turns out not to be badly injured and you just screwed yourself for potentially the rest of the season by blowing a load of cash.

        Yeah, watched the city game though and obviously seen these things happen loads of times and it looks (probable, not certain) like weeks out to me which could easily be 4+ GWs with all the games so close.

        The other thing is that for big midfielders there really isn't anyone apart from Wally/Silva (I obviously can't afford Ozil). Gerrard crocked too.

      It's not just about him (I think Mert has been better) but that's the final straw for me, won't be considering them. Don't trust Vermaelen. Also as someone, maybe you said, they have been outperforming the stats. Set for regression imo, and there were an insane number of errors today.
