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.

    I do hope Pellegrini knew about the New Year amnesty for yellows and didn't 'instruct' Silva to get a late booking thinking it would erase the slate... Not that he's got form for misunderstanding the rules of football like...

    Pellegrini, what game was he at? Saying to interviewer they were "the only team that turned out to play", yet the game ended with both teams with the same amount of shots on target and Joe Hart man of the match, how is that us not playing. Glad the interviewer pulled him up on the facts!

    The only ways I can get Yaya for next week are

    a) Sell Silva for him (and keep Clyne or Williams)

    b) take a -8

    Think I'll just bench Silva

    honestly when i heard for rooney news i was delighted cause he wasn't my C

    then yaya and Silva booking made my day as well

    enjoying when players wich i dont have fail

    this game is about competition and it's time to stop licking eachothers asses and get focused at your own team and goals

    So lets get it straight Forca is basically saying

    if you pick a captain and theres no injury announced pre deadline its bad management from you if he scores 0.

    yeah right ...

    66:02 Goal scored Goal! Goal! Hull City 4, Fulham 0. Tom Huddlestone (Hull City) left footed shot from outside the box to the bottom right corner.

    65:57 Attempt saved. Maynor Figueroa (Hull City) left footed shot from a difficult angle and long range on the left is saved in the bottom left corner. Assisted by Robert Koren.

    If anyones getting the assist its Figueroa not Chester. But the shot was outside the box and the keeper saved it then it was cleared. Clearly not an assist
