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.

      My cup opponent this week has the unlikely combo of Barry, and Hazard (C) in midfield. Combined with double Chelsea coverage in defense (Luiz and Cech) I'm likely to be going out.

      Anyone else still in the cup, any unlikely upsets?

      Anyone facing AJ!?

    Adam Johnson's hattrick is timely. Here's Poyet talking him up only two days ago-

    Gus Poyet is desperate for Adam Johnson to be Sunderland’s secret weapon in their Premier League survival bid:

    6.4 in FPL. Might not stay on pens though, as he was on a hattrick and Borini was off the pitch

      You don't understand how BPS work do you?

      Passing: > 80%
      Dispossed / Turnovers: 8
      Key Passes: 1
      Interceptions: 1
      Clearances: 0
      Blocked Shots: 0

      So yeah we shouldn't expect any BPS other than the goal scored, now should we?

      Your eyes lie, the numbers don't!

    I think I'll hit the WC button today.

    Any predictions for double risers (try and Increase my TV before I settle to a team)

    Guessing there'll be a huge Adam Johnson bandwagon now
