With the purr from the Gylfi Sigurdsson bandwagon in our ears, Fantasy managers will now be looking to a batch of three o’clock kick-offs for similar targets. A quintet of afternoon matches await, before Arsenal host Crystal Palace at the Emirates this evening.

Interest in the top bracket looks somewhat limited, although the likes of Stoke and QPR have become unlikely sources of budget and mid-price assets, with the performances of Bojan, Jordan Mutch and Charlie Austin of particular interest. All start this afternoon and, interestingly, Austin is partnered by Loic Remy in the QPR attack, while Thomas Ince appears to be up front for visitors Hull.

Elsewhere, Romelu Lukaku is handed a starting berth at Leicester by Roberto Martinez, despite fitness concerns. Kevin Mirallas is kept on the Everton bench with budget buy Steven Naismith earning a start. Meanwhile, down at the Boleyn Ground, Spurs start with both Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela as expected – although the likes of Eric Dier, Danny Rose and Aaron Lennon are all on the team sheet with Ben Davies, Lewis Holtby and Roberto Soldado amongst the subs.

You can look to out Twitter feed for all the lineup from today’s matches.

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

    Are United ever gonna sign a CB? Been over 12 months now and they're still looking.

    Should've been their priority since LVG's arrival, doesn't take a genius to see it.

    All those considering getting Chester in, as a Chester owner I'm probably benching him next week I think they have Europa Thursday night and play Stoke sunday lunch and Stoke can't be that bad again. (My defence would still be playing West Brom West Ham and Leicester at home for what its worth)

        His back line probably won't change though for europe I think the same starting 3 today in the middle (Bruce, Chester, Davies) played both legs of the previous round he obviously will want a strong spine in the side away from home. It doesn't hugely concern me to be honest he was great value and had nice fixtures anyway but I've seen a few thinking of going Neil Taylor to him when Swans have 2 great home games to come... puzzles me. Anyway they are away its only in Belgium but we know the europa league Thursday Sunday spells trouble for most sides
