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.

        Yeah - but 1.4% ownership did it for me, plus the DGW coming up, plus wrongly thinking Man U had started to turn it round and Everton were wobbling. I also remember him scoring a goal every now and then and he seemed the type who would man up and get stuck in.

        Ah well.

        It was a punt.

      Can you imagine what he must be thinking?

      It's amazing when you ponder it. All those years being praised when he was holding Everton back. Even the guff he was spouting this week about how Everton are doing so well because he left Martinez with such a great squad. His self-doubt must be tangible in the dressing room. I know a lot of people are saying Man U will give him a few seasons but can he live this down, with Neville saying he can't even look at the table?

      Brilliant entertainment all round.
