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.

    Despite my idiotic Lallana to Cabaye to Pablo (-4), I may have got away with it

    Nearly got Bony for Giroud
    Nearly captained Hazard over Suarez

    Should have got AJ but wanted to be "clever"
    Should have got Tekkers but thought without Gabby he'd struggle

    Ill take it, enjoy my WC and move on 🙂

    Ps enough of the Yaya hating. Just get him.

    I know they have Chelsea next, but can't ignore City. With Aguero looking like being out and now only having Yaya, whats peoples opinions on the City attack now with Jovetic back? I can see rotation between Dzeko, Negs and Jovetic whereas a fit Aguero was likely to be a certain starter. Think this injury makes it harder, so double up on Silva/Yaya?

      The double up might be the way to go...but the majority of the goals will be scored by those 3 forwards.

      Gamble on 1 ? Dzeko ?

      With only three strikers and no Nasri all will get game time every game

      With all those tasty home fixtures Negredo seems sensible, but since they will ALL rotate and a need for Mata, Dzeko is again a great option
