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.

      problem is they need to spend money now. So if they stick with him, there needs to be someone signing players to fit a clear system regardless of manager, which is basically what is in place at city. Giving moyes that money, when we may not have more than one burst of spending in us, could be disastrous.

    Owning Mirallas since GW30 has been great fun. Even though he's been benched twice for the full 90 minutes and been a late sub in another game he's still managed to score or assist in every GW bar one.

        The general argument is that Rooney and RVP cannot play together with only 1 up top if you want to make use of Mata properly.

        You seem to also forget how many easy finishes RVP has fluffed this season, not saying he's no use but I'd understand why people were demanding Roo over RVP.

    Do people realise that Coleman's assist is his first since the opening day of the season? Useless! 😀

    This isn't putting me off Rooney or Mata. They have been all over Everton. They have been ssucker punched twice but on another day would be 3 up.

      Who to ditch for Ramsey?

      Mutch,Eriksen,Silva,Nasri,Sterling

      Has to be Mutch, but difficult to get in Rooney then, go for Podolski instead?
