Saturdayโ€™s afternoon action is focused mainly on the foot of the table as the likes of Fulham, Hull, West Brom and Aston Villa all face crunchy fixtures. The quartet of three oโ€™clock kick-offs will do their best to hold our attention, before our focus switches to Old Trafford as a desperate Norwich arrive to take on Ryan Giggsโ€™ United.

It has to be said, Fantasy talent is at premium and perhaps limited to Christian Eriksenโ€™s display at Stoke and Wilfried Bonyโ€™s quest for further goals at home to Villa. In the main, weโ€™ll save our energies for the tea-time clash as we get to assess the impact of David Moyesโ€™ departure and the โ€œGiggsโ€™ effectโ€ on the Red Devils. With a double fixture looming in Gameweek 37, the Old Trafford teamsheet will be of keen interest, as will the performance from Unitedโ€™s key attacking assets.

Full details of the day’s starting lineups can be found via our Twitter feed, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains opens for those looking to indulge in some real-time banter.

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

      I was watching, Eriksen was not driving at the defence at all, though his set piece delivery was class.

      Stoke deserved to win.

      The only reason he's a good pick is his set pieces. Stoke defend corners/ free kicks well. Could have got him for free, didn't. Most of the erikson buyers are just sheep who never watch him play

        His technique is very different from the norm, especially free-kicks from wide areas.

      Mostly relies on set pieces, but does that alone warrant him a spot in your team?

    My ML rival (12 behind before today) has no Everton defence (I have 2) and bizarrely brought Kagawa in instead of Mata. I am worried now.

    Looks like an 8 pointer to get rid of Mata in time for the double.

    Mata, Puncheon, Baines > Yaya, Nasri, Ferdinand.

    I've had no luck with Mata at all. Sold him leading up to GW32 after doing nothing for weeks and he proceeded to score 12 &19 points over the next two weeks... bring him back in this week and boom... benched.
