Five three o’clock kick-offs follow on from Chelsea’s clash with the Toffees at the Bridge, before our day’s entertainment is concluded at Selhurst Park where Tony Pulis attempts to erect “fortress Selhurst” ahead of the visit of Manchester United.

For now , however, our attention is elsewhere, as Arsenal host Sunderland at the Emirates and Man City face up to Stoke at the Etihad – it’s fair to say we’re expecting strong home wins and Fantasy points aplenty in both cases.

West Brom and Fulham fight out a relegation six-pointer at the Hawthorns, while West Ham continue their quest to find mid-table comfort against an in-form Southampton. Cardiff’s crucial home clash with Hull City concludes the programme before our focus turns to the evening kick-off.

You’ll find that our Twitter feed has all the lineup information, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open to cater for your real-time banter requirements.

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

    Ultimate FPL stick or twist?

    how are we all finding the new game? Think the different ways of picking up points adds a new dimension. I’m on 63 with Suarez, sturridge, Ade and gerrard all lined up to come in tomorrow do think I’m pretty pleased so far. But now it gets interesting:-

    Question is – stick with hazard and his 4pts or gamble that Norwich or villa are gonna keep a CS?

        You didn't even have any guarantee he would play? Isn't Sonogo carrying a knock?

        But you are a gooner so I can see why you would never touch Adebayor. That answers that one.

    Need to replace Adam Johnson tonight before the drop have him selling value 6.8 and 2.7 in the bank.

    Nolan the best in that price range?

        yes, and it's awful to watch. Moyes can't set up a team. United need to break down defences. Every team has used this tactic and he has never worked a way past it. Take Fellani and smalling off. Bring Mata centeral and play a proper winger on the right.

      Has to stay for 29 for me, have 7 or 8 with transfers as it is. I can't afford more hits for players that have a game then, even Utd players.

          Haven't worked out all scenarios yet but by some strange quirk of luck I think I'm shaping up ok for these 28 and 29 GWs. Can even afford to take out Rafael tonight. Best defenders at present? Terry, I'm going for.
