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.

    Erm, obviously not, it was only Suarez on the edge of the 'D' with just the keeper to beat 🙄
