We depart Old Trafford to tour a quintet of three o’clock matches, before dropping in on the Emirates as City look to put a final nail in Arsenal’s title coffin, boosting their own Chelsea chase in the process.

Before that, Jose Mourinho’s side have the opportunity to stretch their legs at the top as they pay visit to Selhurst Park – the only one of this afternoon’s encounters that addresses the title race. Elsewhere, we’re dealt an array of mid-table clashes and relegation wrangles with few prime Fantasy assets on show. It could be time for a few differentials to emerge, then, before Arsenal and City take to the turf to see us out.

You can look to our Twitter feed for all the lineup news, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open to welcome those who indulge in some real-time reaction while matches unfold.

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

        That was my big decision this week, was pretty set until admittedly I allowed myself to be talked out of it on FFS last night. That said, whoever I'd have got in would have replaced Ward's points. Would have been Eriksen or Arnautovic.

    Still should be banned though, he's like FFS's very own leech, feeding off people's frustration. 🙂

        When you look at the decisions for the last few weeks, it's not been clear. I realistically had to keep him for the DGW, and this week I had Noone playing over him. You usually play an attacking player first sub because they have more upside, and no one would have forecast Ward to get double figures at home to Chelsea.

          But why not look at it like...Noone has got 1 goal 2 assists all season, ward has got 9 clean sheets ? Clean sheets are way more likely.

          Chamberlain had a mare at chelsea, lost his head, and arsenal don't look like scoring lately. Ward was at home. Crystal Palace gave city a hard time, they're decent, and the villa game showed that chelsea lose against the lesser teams.
