Having served up six goals in Saturday lunchtime’s opening fixture, Gameweek 31 has the chance to finish in similar style this evening. So far, the 13 fixtures played out have treated Fantasy managers to 52 goals and, whilst the Hammers’ home clash with Hull may not quite whet the appetite, Liverpool’s Anfield showdown with Sunderland is filled with expectation:

Big Sam’s side get us underway in the proverbial six-pointer at Upton Park. Having lost three in a row, West Ham have been dragged back into the relegation dog-fight and sit just six points above the drop zone –Andy Carroll’s contribution looks more vital than ever tonight.

All eyes will be on Luis Suarez and co as Liverpool go in search of a seventh successive victory in the 8pm kick-off. The South American has already racked up 20 FPL points in Saturday’s 6-3 drubbing of Cardiff and bearing in mind the Merseysiders have averaged three goals per home far so far this season, a goalless draw looks the last thing on the menu as Brendan Rodgers’ free-scoring side threaten to run riot against the Black Cats. Vito Mannone seems set for a busy evening, then.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for news of tonight’s lineups, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is warmed up and ready to go for those looking for some real-time interaction.

    Seriously considering 4 3 3 formation. Chelsea defenders, Everton defenders and City defenders offer so much. I will have the holly trinity in midfield: Gerrard, Hazard, Yoyo and don't bother about the others

      easy to have S&S and Aguero or even Rooney in place of Sturridge if you want with a solid defense and mid in a 4-3-3, I've been giving this thought for about 2 weeks now lol..

        And you know the mids are hit and miss really this season. That 3 I mentioned up are great and consistent and nailed on. I don't see a 4th one really. I have AJ atm but not so psyched on him

          could easily grab Mutch/a Hull/a Palace mid for your 4th and 5th

        I agree Spike but already have 3 City. Silva to Nasri a bit sideways. A lot of my ML have only 2 City and can see them bringing Nasri in.
