Sunday delivers a famous five fixtures, with lashings of potential points on offer. It all kicks off at Anfield as Luis Suarez leads the charge for Liverpool, sporting the armband for the majority of Fantasy managers in the Gameweek. That clash hands over to the Spurs vs Everton encounter at the Lane, a match deprived of the brilliance of Gareth Bale but still bristling with potential.

Paulo Di Canio makes his Premier League debut as manager of Sunderland at Stamford Bridge, with Fantasy managers widely backing the likes of Eden Hazard and Juan Mata to ruin his day. With Newcastle also hosting Fulham at three o’clock, the crucial relegation battle at Loftus Road brings the day to a close as QPR host in-form Wigan in what is the true definition of a six-pointer.

Our Dugout Discussion starts here and will accompany you throughout the day, with the chatroom now open for those looking to scratch the real-time.

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

    Now I only care about Sissoko scoring a brace. Need to make up for my benching of Michu.
