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.

    Lukaku is a lucky assist donk. Got a lucky assist last week with a terrible shot which turned into a pass and this one he seems to have got one by creating a gust of wind when he fell from the air after an embarrassing overhead attempt.

    Do the FPL towers even watch the games?

    They take over an hour to add some really obvious assists, then give Lukaku an assist straight away, when he clearly didnt touch it.

    If they think it may have brushed against his shin, surely they should wait until they reviewed it, before awarding it....
