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.

    QPR looked awful.. and Barton's set pieces were terrible(apart from 1 or 2). Jeez, Caulker already taking up space in my team. 2 more home games and he's gone!(i have a lot of patience 😉 ) . A.Young can sit on my bench for Davis for a while until i get a chance to swap him out. His penned in replacement mutch dint look all that great either
