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.

          Yeh so did I. I was between Suarez, Aguero and Ozil when Suarez scored I thought it was going to be a big score then when I saw no Lovren I thought not going Ozil was going to come back to haunt by not looking so bad now. Hopefully Aguero does the job first time captaining him for me this week so feel he owes me after missing out on so many points!!

      Well, I am happy with a Goal & Assist from a captain.

      So I'll say can't argue with Suarez, I wouldn't twist now for Aguero if I was given the option now.

    In hindsight I should've listened and kept Lukaku instead of taking a hit to get Remy in.

    Lukaku scores 13 pts this week - the same amount of his points throughout I had him for the last 4 weeks.

    I'm not surprised of how it turns out.
