The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Following a dramatic Stadium of Light clash, we can now look forward to five three o’clock kick-offs keep Saturday’s action moving, before Liverpool host Villa in the evening encounter.

Fantasy managers will be fixated on events at the Emirates and the Etihad as Arsenal and City face up to favourable opponents on home turf. The likes of David Silva, Yaya Toure and Alvaro Negredo will be well backed ahead of their meeting with Cardiff, while Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud will be amongst the names being watched keenly when Fulham draw up in North London.

Elsehwhere, many Fantasy managers will be hoping for Palace to reconstruct fortress Selhurst Park and earn a clean sheet against visiting Stoke. Meanwhile, Norwich host Hull City and West Ham look to continue their revival against Newcastle at the Boleyn Ground.

You can look to our Twitter feed for the teamsheet news, whilst the Dugout Discussion chatroom will remain available right up until the final whistle at Anfield this evening.

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

      Now would be a good time as you could get in players like Aguero today before they rise like crazy. It's a week and a half until the next gameweek so I think a good few players will rise. Then if anyone gets injured in the FA cup, you can get rid of them for free.

    Only problem with the Lucas out/ back in is that it doesn't answer the question who Sturridge will replace for the next 3-4 games.

    For all the Sterling owners - the way he's playing looks like he may keep the place? What you reckon - Sterling out and Coutinho back in as starters for next match?
