Six down, four to go. We’ve a couple of derby head-to-heads on this evening’s agenda, as Villa entertain West Brom, with Christian Benteke looking to notch in his third successive league match, whilst Eden Hazard is on the search for his five double figure home haul as Chelsea square up to West Ham at Stamford Bridge.

Elsewhere, Sunderland welcome Stoke to the Stadium of Light, where Gus Poyet’s side have already beaten the likes of City, Chelsea and United in all competitions – Adam Johnson’s growing band of Fantasy owners will be hoping he can continue the form that has harvested four goals in the last two Gameweeks.

There’s also the small matter of Tottenham versus Man City at the Lane, as Tim Sherwood looks to extend his unbeaten league run at the helm. Last night saw five home sides register a clean sheet but with Sergio Aguero banging in the goals, Spurs look unlikely to manage a shut-out. With Emmanuel Adebayor and Christian Eriksen both in such fine form, a goalless draw looks the last thing we can expect here.

Once again, we have opened up the Dugout Discussion chatroom until the end of this evening’s action.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Have you looked at Sunderland's upcoming fixtures? 4/5 easy

      Newcastle, Man City, Liverpool & Arsenal.

      Have you looked at Man City fixtures? 4/5 easy

      Norwich, Sunderland, Stoke & Villa.

            Agreed, on paper that is the easier of the 4 and just because they are hard fixtures does not mean they won't produce but there is a reduced chance of it.

      But maybe major reconstruction is in order to get a bigger hitter (Oscar / Hazard)

                Like I say, you understand fully the risks that come with Kolarov, but own him regardless, the rest seem to have to decided those risks no longer exist.

      Lovren seems to be out for quite some time, so Yoshida could be staying in your team for as long as gw 28.

    What would really make my day is if Colback can get some attacking points today.
    I never thought I'd need to play him when I brought him on WC last week and already need him this week to field 11. So many bloody injuries.
