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.

        Exactly, would rather they gave it decent welly early on in the season instead of scratching their arses.

    Utd get a undeserved penalty against Norwich, then a speculative Rooney strike from outside the box...

    Giggs should be the manager!!!!

    Next game, after 70 mins, 1-0 down...

    Giggs is crap!! Get him out!!!!

      Don't get me started, they were dross against Norwich in the 1st half and have been equally dross now. Finally dear old Moyesy will get less of the blame and more will be placed on the numpties on the pitch.

      I gave him (vc) this week with Aguero (c)

      He's had my armband before. Call me boring but early season he took two awesome free kicks, curled around the wall into the corner. Convinced me. With free kicks like that and penalties I had to have him.

      I feel next season he may be over priced.
