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.

    Flagged this before and I think it needs mentioning again, the conditioning at City must be very poor. Messi has had countless problems with his hamstrings and as such Barcelona made up an entirely different nutritional and exercise regime for him to minimise the risk of injury, I've a feeling no such thing happens with Aguero.

    Hopefully it's just a tweak that he didn't want to exacerbate but they have to approach his fitness a lot better, arguably it could cost them the league. (In many regards it cost them dominating the league this season)

        All they need to do is get the ball out quick to the wing and it bypasses the whole midfield as the space is empty.

            Honestly mate watch the amount of space there is out wide if CIty get the ball forward fast.

            Celtic used to play this tactic and I know its weakness as it used to do my nut in.
