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.

      They should find a way to go back in time and just not have employed him. I don't think he is a big enough name to gain respect in the dressing room and it was stupidity to get rid of all the top class coaches.

    David Ornstein, BBC Sport
    Kim Kallstrom update
    "New Arsenal signing Kim Kallstom is set for a spell on the sidelines with a back injury that was discovered in the medical before he signed on loan from Spartak Moscow.

    "The 31-year-old Sweden midfielder sustained the problem on Tuesday while playing football on a beach during Spartak's pre-season tour in Abu Dhabi.

    "He informed Arsenal of discomfort upon arriving at the club on Friday but, despite an MRI scan showing no damage, a CT scan found an issue with his back.

    "The Arsenal medical team provided manager Arsene Wenger with the prognosis, but it was decided Kallstrom would still join and undergo his rehabilitation with the Gunners.

    "He is expected to miss at least Arsenal's next six games, in which they face Crystal Palace, Liverpool twice, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Sunderland.

    "Kallstrom did not train with his new team-mates on Friday or Saturday and will briefly return to Sweden and Russia before moving to London and beginning a course of treatment.

    "The former Lyon player, Arsenal's only signing in the January transfer window, joined on loan until the end of the season to provide cover for injured midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere, plus the suspended Mathieu Flamini."
