The Gameweek continues with a pair of Sunday afternoon kick-offs, beginning with Fulham’s clash with Villa at the Cottage, in just a few minutes. Following on from that, two form sides clash at the Emirates as leaders Arsenal look for their seventh home victory of the season against an Everton outfit fresh from their midweek win at Old Trafford.

While those two teams are looking to extend a superb spell of results, Rene Meulensteen’s Fulham are desperately seeking to end a run of six consecutive defeats against Paul Lambert’s inconsistent Villa: they will arrive in West London unbeaten in their last four road trips in the league and boosted by the midweek win at St Mary’s.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest news on today’s teamsheets as it breaks, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain so throughout today’s matches, up until the final whistle at the Emirates.

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

      He's top level but people sold him because he was too dear they'd rather carry some expensive underachiever who ironically could be described as overpriced.

          Let me repeat the fact that I stated. Spurs bought 100 milion euros worth of players and are in midtable, Everton didnt and are in front of them. Its irrelevant where did they get the money for my statement.

    Livescore says Oviedo assist.

    But then against they also said Wes Brown assist for Oshea's goal midweek. Which was wrong i might add.
