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.

    Looking to change Marshall between the sticks prior to end of Jan WC. £4.7m max, best option of the following alcoholic beverage sounding keepers:

    a) Speroni
    b) Foster
    c) Mannone

    They will do their subs at 60 mins (though it's usually 70ish)

            Not sure, will try and find a link to the article where I read it.

            Keepers hold the ball a fair amount, if that counts, then it's even more crazy.

              I guess that's true, hadn't considered the moments that they physically hold the ball in their hands after a save/catch as that isn't capable of being standardized to outfield players as well..let me know what you find, would be interesting
