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.

    Did Kosc -> Dann last night but left Ward and Dann on the bench.
    Need Collins to be out to get Ward off the bench, according to a London journo on twitter he's definitely out...

      One thing explains both those two facts - you're a counterattacking side. That's why you punish the attacking and struggle against the defensive.

      Sometimes those games are easier, those teams have to go out and play, while Chelsea predominantly sit back and counterattack, they can't do that against smaller clubs that defend well.
