Gameweek 36 begins at St Mary’s where Everton’s claims for a top-four finish and Champions League qualification will face a stern test at the hands of Southampton.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side have stalled of late, mustering just a single goal in their last three outings following the cruel injury to striker Jay Rodriguez. Visitors Everton, meanwhile, bounced back from their home defeat to Palace with a convincing victory over United last time out.

Fantasy managers are likely to be nursing several Everton assets following their recent double Gameweek exploits, with Romelu Lukaku, Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman likely to remain backed, despite a testing conclusion to what has been a superb season under Roberto Martinez.

The South Coast clash is followed by a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, before we drop in on Old Trafford for an early assessment of the impact of David Moyes’ departure.

You can look to our Twitter feed for all the news from the day’s teamsheets, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to collect your real-time reactions as the matches unfold.

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

    -2 for OG is harsh. Defenders are 10 times more likely to score them than mids/strikers so its basically only a points punishment for defenders.

    I guess mids/strikers missing penalties balances it out a bit but not much.

            Aye twats aare everywhere but I fear I was too harsh, I obviously only caught the bad stuff. I think the booing of Arteta and celebrating when he took a bad tackle really turned me against them so I fear I've been too biased.

      All clubs have their share of scummy fans. Everton fans in general have been great in regards to Hillsborough, and Moyes brought the criticism of him from Everton on himself with the comments he made street leaving.
