Robbed of the Fantasy Football riches of Man City and…errr…Man United, our Gameweek threatens to be a muted affair. Eight Premier League fixtures have other ideas, however, with a quintet of Saturday matches hopefully set to provide with goals and points aplenty.

With no early clash, it’s left to the three o’clock kick-offs to start proceedings, with keen eyes on the action at Craven Cottage where leaders Chelsea visit neighbours Fulham in a bid to flex their title chasing muscles. Fantasy managers are sure to have plenty invested in that clash and similarly Everton’s home encounter with West Ham and Arsenal’s trip to Stoke.

Hull City’s mid-table meet with Newcastle rounds off the afternoon, before attention turns to the latest installment of the Daniel Sturridge show, as the Liverpool striker seeks to notch for the eighth consecutive league outing: Southampton provide the opposition in what looks to be a game of goals.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for news of today’s teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will accompany you through today’s matches right through until the final whist at St Marys.

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

    I feel like I'm watching Wenger kill both my team and my fantasy team. Picking Ox and seeing him benched in this game, then come and be our best and most dangerous player from the moment he stepped onto the pitch... trying his heart out, beating defenders and setting up Sanogo for his miss. He just doesn't seem to understand we need pace in the team and wingers on the wings.

      In all fairness he probably thought Stoke would play deep and so Ox's pace would be negated, better to have a technician in there.

        So we got what we got all season, meaningless passing in front of the defence. Actually, we didn't even manage that, Stoke had more of the ball in the first half. Wingers also stretch the play, and that's what Ox did when he came on - watching the 20 mins he was on the pitch, they were our most dangerous spell.

          At least wenger could have brought him on at half time, why does he never ever ever ever ever ever make that substitution? Always 70 mins and too late. He makes his job harder with his tactics and transfer policy, it's just little things.

            I think he's just much less of a tactician than the likes of Mourinho, Pellegrini and Rodgers. It simply comes down to that, and if a game starts badly, he rarely rescues it.

      God that makes it worse! I didn't watch the game, but to pick the right player and for wenger to not do that...argh. Question now is do we keep for the two away fixtures and city home game? I think I'm done.

          Annoying because I am convinced he'll do well against all the top sides, more than any other arsenal player, as he has done before, but he has to actually start.

            And the numbers are just against him - he might do better than we expect against the top sides but will he score more than other options with good fixtures? Just can't be recommended

      To be fair Mark Hughes does this against the top sides, he's beat arsenal before i think. What's surprising is that i think arsenal looked sublime vs sunderland and that they didn't come into this with confidence. Of all their upcoming games, this was the one they needed to win to make it easier.
