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.

    Serious question but what is wrong with Aguero medically? His legs obviously can't handle playing so many games in a row before they give out to groin, hamstring, ankle etc etc

    Is he trained wrong?

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years

      Probably too vital to the team and coming back far earlier than he should. Also his calves are abnormally big. I wonder if they are actually causing stress on his legs.

        I think he has an underlying muscular imbalance issue. Probably to do with his glutes and core. That's probably the reason his hamstrings and groin keep giving out,

        Yeah and he needs a long rest and proper rehab before getting back to generic field and weight training.
