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.

      I don't think I can beat that. My to three is this:

      1. Selling Suarez as I thought Sturridge will get more points. I missed 5 rounds of massive points and a lot of ground to Suarez owners topping my league..
      2. Buying Lukaku three times. He has scored for fun whenever I have not owned him, and blanked almost every round I have had him.
      3. Selling Cabaye last GW because I got convinced he is injured.

        Let me precise the first one. I was between these two, one has to go. I was thinking shipping out Sturridge, but got myself convinced that it is craziness to part ways with Sturridge, not Suarez. Why on earth did I let people convince me that Sturridge, not Suarez, is the world class player who tortures defences.

That is goals goals goals if u ask me. I know he will be 0.5m more but so be it. I always have cash in bank this year. And I will avoid hits. I think will gonna get him for Che or maybe later.

      If the ref didn't see it then it could be a retroactive game ban, much worse for Sturridge owners.

    What's the worst pick you've seen in any January WC team? One of my rivals bought Flanagan. Who buys an injured, 2nd choice left back in a crap defence. To make matters worse he bought Kolo as well
