Sunday focuses on the ambitions of the Merseyside pair, as Everton look to close in on fourth place with a win over Arsenal at Goodison, while Liverpool seek to extend their run of victories to nine by clawing back top spot with the points at West Ham.

Arsenal take on the Toffees having won just once in five matches, while Roberto Martinez’s outfit have five straight wins, putting them just four points behind the Gunners with a game in hand. Sunday’s clash is perfectly poised, then, with Fantasy managers looking to a host of Everton options ahead of their double Gameweek to come.

Later today, Luis Suarez will face up to a West Ham defence with the majority backing the Uruguayan with the armband. His potential haul looks pivotal to our Gameweek fortunes again, with the likes of Daniel Sturridge and Steven Gerrard providing an able supporting cast at the Boleyn Ground.

Our Twitter feed will bring you all the news from today’s teamsheets, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to accompany you right through to the final whistle in East London.

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

    How many jammy penalties has Liverpool got this season. That decision doesn't even come close to balancing your luck.

    Not a chance it should be a goal. On a complete aside, a lesson for why a CB needs to keep his hands off the striker. I'm certain if Skrtel didn't make it look like he pushed him then there would have been little argument.

    Said before, will say again, officiating has been crap.

      I have both and i'm not sure. The way I see it Boruc gets best case 7, worst case 1. Mannone gets best case 10+ worst case 3 or 4.
      Probably go for Mannone and hope for lots of saves.
