With two clean sheets, five goals and a red card in the bag, Saturday’s events unfold with a quintet of matches and a host of Fantasy assets on show.

For once, there will be plenty of attention on the Britannia Stadium where United roll up with Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata in their starting lineup to take on the Potters. Elsewhere, Everton’s home encounter with Villa could well produce profit for owners of Leighton Baines and Kevin Mirallas, while Tottenham’s trip to the KC Stadium will come under focus from those holding Emmanuel Adebayor and Christian Eriksen.

All the key teamsheet news has been captured in our Twitter feed, while the Dugout Discussion room remains open to catch the chatter as the goals and points roll in.

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

    Something weird on Fantasy Football. Players on the field still to play have the name of the team below them who they'll be playing, followed by an (H) or an (A). However, Ivanovic right not has a (V) after MCI!

    Knowing Stoke as many of us do. I can see the tackles really coming in now. Put some major pressure on, get a few of their players to exhaust themselves and make a triple sub when Utd don't have the option.
    Good luck Utd legs.

        Rooney at midfield and not at freekicks and corners are certainly not what are expected by those who brought him in.

            Red flags are not always 100% reliable. And if he doesn't play then it doesn't do any harm.
            But in this case I hope he stays on the bench - I need Bardsley's points!
