The remainder of Saturday has big boots to fill. Following on from a tumultuous Merseyside goal-fest, a quintet of three o’clock kick-offs will make a bid to keep the goal count and points tallies ticking.

Fantasy managers will be focused mainly on the Emirates where the Gunners are the latest to face up to a resolute Southampton rearguard. With many holding three, four or even five assets going into this clash – the outcome looks pivotal to our Gameweek totals.

Elsewhere, Fulham look to revive their fortunes at home to Michael Laudrup’s Swansea, Hull look to protect their formidable home record against struggling Palace and Gus Poyet’s Black Cats bid to continue their rebuilding process with a tricky visit to the Britannia.

With red-hot Newcastle hosting a buoyant Norwich at St James’ Park and Chelsea making the trip to West Ham for the 5.30pm kick-off, there’s every chance that the momentum from the dramatic early kick-off at Goodison can be maintained.

Andy’s efforts on our Twitter feed brings you all the team news from today’s matches, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open and will remain so right through until the final whistle at the Boleyn Ground.

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

        How are they so far off? Suarez was on 2 and ended up with 1, other way round for Mirallas. Sturridge was just outside the baps at full time.

          Was initially Suarez 2 Mirallas 1 - it's become Mirallas 2 Suarez 1 Sturridge 1 because Suarez lost 3 BPS out of 12.

          But they're not that large, you get a good idea who will get the baps even if its not precise. Also rules out a lot of players.
