Saturday rolls on with a set of five afternoon kick-offs, rounded off unceremoniously by a tea-time clash as Hull City host Stoke. Interesting.

Before that, all eyes will be on Goodison and Stamford Bridge where two prime captain candidates – namely Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard, will carry the hopes of thousands of Fantasy managers as they face up to the Fulham and Crystal Palace defences respectively.

The afternoon’s events are completed by West Brom’s trip to Cardiff, while Newcastle host Southampton and an injury-ravaged West Ham entertain Sunderland.

As always, you can look to our twitter feed for details of the major movements on the teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through today’s matches, right up until the final whistle at the KC Stadium.

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

      Did the same thing - they were the right chances which would pay off 9 times out of 10. Wish I didn't keep doing it though, I benched Coleman for the Man Utd game, Walker for the Man Utd game...

      Might just pick defenders playing Man Utd in future 😆

    How do the Aguero captainers feel?

    I feel it was a good decision, as City do tend to play amazingly well when it comes to Ethiad stadium, their home-ground is a fortress, and had Aguero played 90 minutes, he would definitely have been in double digits. We were just really unlucky in hindsight. 🙁

      It was a great decision; he would have dominated that game. You can predict injuries.

      I went Rooney; with Suarez as VC. I was swapping Aguero in every other day; unable to make up my mind. It was not easy; but I lucked out (so far.. at least).
