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.

              Boxing is a bit of a joke sport now imo.

              Best fighters wont fight each other (Mayweather and Paquiao) and in most fights all they do is try to avoid getting hit.

              I prefer the UFC nowadays.

                  yep.On paper they have great players in Giacherini, Aj,Scoco, Borini, Wickham. Yes Wickham and Scocco could play together, as Scocco player w/ another striker at Newells when they won argetinian title twice and scocco was lead scoer of league.

                    they wouldve had an even better squad had di canio not obliterated it when he was manager.

                    sunderland will be mid-table next season with a few new signings

                I switched from Mata to Yaya at 11.15 this morning.

                Obviously I am glad I done that just now but that can quickly change and Mata could still score big in the next game.
