The Gameweek continues with a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, culminating in a relegation scrap in South Wales as Cardiff host basement dwellers Sunderland.

All eyes will be on the Manchester clubs, however, as City and United face fixtures that, on paper, look profitable for Fantasy mangers. Wayne Rooney’s relentless form has another opportunity to come to the fore at Carrow Road, while City’s Etihad juggernaut has its engines running and is aimed squarely at the bus likely to be parked by Tony Pulis’ Palace.

We’re expecting big points all round and a potential rollercoaster of an afternoon before the evening clash brings us back down to a simmer.

As always, look to our Twitter feed for the latest teamsheet news while our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open to cater for your real-time chatter needs.

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

        to a certain degree, if C and VC dont play, there could ideally be a system where the C gets chosen randomly from the remaining Forward.
        Yes seems obvious no Capitano, byt thot there could be a windiw.

        if no windiw, then it involves having a shot of Don Julio tequila nearby.

    Huge over-reaction about City on here. Yes they've not created too many clear cut chances but they could have easily scored a few times (Fernandinho had 2 great chances, Silva put a couple wide).

    It's 0-0 at H/T, they'll pile the pressure on second half and haven't looked like conceding, Palace under Pulis were always gonna be tough to break down and put 10 behind the ball. Just coz they're not scoring five goals in the first half, doesn't mean they've played that badly.
