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.

    So I'm bringing in Coleman.....

    Who goes?

    Terry (no CS's but a goal threat)
    Evra (Utd are crap)
    GJ (frustrating lack of CSs but again attacking threat)
    Rosenior (out of favour now and fixtures poor, also ill have a benching dilemma if I keep the other three)

    The goal by Everton's Gerard Deulofeu has been reviewed and the assist to Romelu Lukaku remains as a slight touch on Bryan Oviedo's cross was detected.

    I vaguely remember the FPL days where bonus points weren't added til after the final game. That meant a Saturday 12:45 ko meant you had to wait until after the Monday 8pm game (Tuesday moring practically).

    Even then, there was no way of knowing who got the points as there was no transparency and it was all subjective.

    Change is good.
