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.

                Noone is annoying but I don't mind leaving him to rot!

                Defensive overall I think, 2 new defenders possibly, Ramsey in for Lallana, someone else in for Stevie G (playing far too deep for my likings) and possibly going to sell Lukaku though not sure who to yet.

                  I suppose what do you expect for 4.0!

                  Never take hits for defender imo. I don't own Stevie G but I'd say to get rid for Ramsey. Lallana and Lukaku could probably wait.

                  For me I'll probably do Distin + Lukaku -> Smalling + Rooney with those fixtures!

                    It's rare I take hits for defenders too but I fear if Distin is done and Chambers is out I'm going to have to bite the bullet.

                    Cheers, I think I need to lose Lallana purely because Soton are finished, they don't care any more. I like those moves although I'm not sure how great the United defence will be, seems like a bit of rotation is to be expected.
