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.

          I think it's a bit ridiculous that players can get in so much trouble for what is really a fairly innocuous hand gesture, but they're allowed to swear as much at the referees and opposition players as much as they like

            agree. both should be clamped down on, or both tolerated.
            in wilshere's case i'd be worried about his perofrmance more. he lost the ball as much as the entire city team combined, and the rest of his teamamtes combined, statisically, not just exaggerating. what i dont get is why wenger gave him 90 with arteta and cazorla both on the bench.

            You're selling the BPL brand & there are billions of dollars of sponsorship money at stake.

          Assuming Aguero is out for a few weeks would you do

          a) Aguero, Sess to Negrado, Wally -4

          b) Aguro, Sess, Dawson to Rooney, Wally, Chester -8

          My likely moves. Aguero > Rooney & Ozil > Walcott. Have not been on today. This the standard move?

          Can't figure out, for the life of me, who could possibly benefit from a Hull City vs Stoke City late kickoff

          Captained Aguero over Lukaku and I can't help but feel robbed. It seems most of my players are conspiring to all get 3-6 points

          35 with 4 to play including rooney (C)
          plus 5 bps expected.
          green or red all depends on rooney and suarez

            Could be genius if Rambo stops returning points, but I wouldn't bet on it

            yep, silva more attacking on today's evidence. aguero's injury will simply solve a selection dilemma for pelligrini with about 4 in form wide men he wants to play
