Saturday continues with five afternoon kick-offs, before Man City see us out with the first of their two Gameweek fixtures in the evening encounter at Goodison.

Before that, Fantasy managers will be focused firmly on Old Trafford, as Ryan Giggs’ continues his tenure as United boss with an intriguing clash with Sunderland. The home side will look to build on the 4-0 thrashing of Norwich last time out, while the Black Cats turn up, scrapping for their Premier League lives and, in Connor Wickham, boasting a striker with five goals in his last three outings.

Elsewhere, both Villa and Hull get their double Gameweeks underway in the midlands, while Newcastle look to halt a slide of five straight defeats at home to relegation threatened Cardiff. Fulham share similar concerns but make the trip to Stoke in hope of furthering their chances of survival. Finally, Swansea take on Southampton at the Liberty Stadium, with Wilfried Bony looking to maintain a scoring streak of four in his last two league matches. Then, City take over with their promising tea-time clash with the Toffees on Merseyside.

Our Twitter feed carries all the news from today’s team sheets, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open to collect your real-time reactions to today’s events.

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

    8 - Hull have not scored in any of their last eight competitive meetings with Villa (D1 L7), a run that goes back to August 1987. Drought.

    I wonder if a manager has ever taken over a team and started with three home league games as heavy favourites.

    Nice way for Giggs to make a name in management eh!

      Follow these steps dear crow.

      1. Find Chester cappers.

      2. Make sure Chester does not score any significant points, and remains under 5.

      3. Take a deep breath.

      4. Say LOOOOLLL at them.

      5. Realize that there were no Chester cappers in the first place. ... ...

      6. Make up imaginary Chester cappers to save some dignity for yourself for going through all those steps.

      7 Take deep breath.

      8. Say LOOOOL again.

      9. Feel Guilty, since those imaginary cappers of Chester were brain dead in the first place.

      10. Fly to the woods and poop in nervousness and all the shame.
