The Gameweek continues with six Premier League matches. Our three-o’clock schedule now has us switch focus to Goodison Park and White Hart Lane, as Everton and Tottenham’s cast of Fantasy assets face up to home fixtures that, on paper, offer potential points.

Roberto Martinez’s Toffees clash with the Canaries looking to continue their push for a top-four finish. Norwich turn up on Merseyside undefeated in their last three away trips, suggesting that Everton may have to work for the expected three points.

As for Spurs, they are up against Tony Pulis’ Palace, having enjoyed their own revival under Tim Sherwood. Three wins in four, including that shock victory at Old Trafford last time out, will surely have the confidence flowing at the Lane. Pulis’ men have slipped to three defeats in their last five and there’s a real fear that their honeymoon period is drawing to a close. Today will tell us more on that, and the Fantasy potential on offer amongst the Spurs squad.

Meanwhile, Sam Allardyce will be looking to halt the Hammers’ alarming slide, and save his own neck, as his West Ham unit draw up to Cardiff. While, at the Cottage, Rene Meulensteen will pitch his Fulham lineup against a Sunderland side still attempting to claw their way out of the basement. Southampton host West Brom at St Mary’s to complete our mid-afternoon programme , before United look to avenge their FA Cup defeat to Swansea in the late kick-off.

Our Twitter feed will carry all the teamsheet news from today’s matches, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and will remain available right up until the final whistle at Old Trafford.

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

    I hate when Manchester United fans say stuff like this:

    "People only hate us as they're jealous of what we have won, you could only dream of supporting a club this successful"

    If we were really so jealous we could easily just do what you have done and be a glory hunting tw@t and support Manchester United.

      Supported them all my life and will continue to as I'm not a glory hunter. What I think is pathetic are the clearly bitter fans of other teams who can't enjoy their team's success but instead have to take a shot at United fans. The same people always go on about Utd fans being smug but don't realise that this behaviour will only cause United fans to be smug again when Man U start doing better. Just my 2 cents.

        Same here, always behind the scores of those who pop up on here to post. It's not a 'normal' sample as those who have done really well are more likely to post and let everyone know about it.

        This week wasn't great for me, largely as expected as I delayed using my WC.
