Easter Sunday provides a trio of Premier League fixtures that promise to resolve many an unanswered question at the top and bottom of the table.

There’s no doubt that the Carrow Road clash between Norwich and Liverpool is the headline act: while the Canaries are fighting for their lives following Sunderland’s unlikely win at Chelsea, they will face a Liverpool side focused on putting daylight between themselves and the chasing pack at the summit. Luis Suarez arrives in East Anglia having scored consecutive hat-tricks in the fixture in previous seasons and with many a Fantasy armband clasped on his bicep. Neil Adam’s side, meanwhile, have conceded just one goal from open play on home turf since the turn of the year. The statistics and form books may well stand for nothing, however – we’re expecting high drama aplenty from the mid-day kick-off.

That’s followed by a pair of matches that will go a long way to resolve the race for fourth spot. Arsenal visit Hull for a dress rehearsal of their FA Cup final date, followed by United’s trip to Goodison park as Everton look to recover from their midweek slip at the hands of Palace. With an array of Fantasy talent on show, both fixtures are likely to have an impact on our squads and mini-leagues before the Gameweek concludes under the lights of the Etihad tomorrow evening.

As always, you can look our Twitter feed for the latest teamsheet news, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to serve those searching out some real-time interaction.

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

    Arsenal have been unlucky losing Ramsey and Walcott to injury this season. They are vital to the way Arsenal play football.

    I mean just look at Chelsea, they lost their most important player in their system, their goalkeeper, and they go and lose at home to Sunderland.

      wait until the end of the game, red is always possible in this fixture, injury could happen etc. But based on fixtures, it's a go-er. Havne't checked price rises, but i guess you'd have to move quick.

    Yet another brilliant decision I made. Salah a definite starter or Sterling a might be starting.
    I pick Salah based on fixtures etc.
    Sums up my season.
    I am going for form over fixtures next year!

    For the run in:

    Chesney
    Azi - Koralov - Smalling
    Erik-Rambo-Nasri-Mata
    Aguero-Rooney-Podolski

    A bit punty without suarez, some diffs chucked in and plenty of form and fixtures. A few hits, but in the interests of making up 40 points I reckon this is the way to go. Millions ITB if needed.

    Just read this on Wikipedia about Tim Howard;

    "He has a reputation for playing through the pain barrier. In September 2007 he accepted a call-up from the United States for a friendly against Brazil, and after an hour of the game his finger was dislocated in a collision. In March 2013, during an FA Cup game against Oldham Athletic he broke two bones in his back. In both incidents, he continued playing until the final whistle."

      Shelford made his Test debut for the All Blacks later that year against France in a 19–7 victory in Toulouse, and then was a notable victim of the infamous "Battle of Nantes" in the second Test. Roughly 20 minutes into the match, he was caught at the bottom of a rather aggressive ruck, and an errant French boot found its way into Shelford's groin, somehow ripping his scrotum and leaving one testicle hanging free. He also lost four teeth in the process. Incredibly after discovering the injury to his scrotum, he calmly asked the physio to stitch up the tear and returned to the field before a blow to his head left him concussed. He was substituted and watched the remainder of the game from the grandstand where he witnessed the All Blacks lose 16–3. To this day Shelford has no memory of the game
