After a less than fulfilling Saturday, Fantasy managers will be looking to Sunday’s fare with huge expectations and the hope that today’s returns can rescue respectability.

The bill certainly looks talented enough, with Roberto Martinez’s Everton hosting Southampton and leaders Arsenal making the trip to in-form Newcastle – both those matches bristle with goals and could well offer a strong platform for the today’s four o’clock kick-offs.

Those are undoubtedly headlined by the battle of the Bridge where Luis Suarez and Liverpool face off against Chelsea in what promises to be a tumultuous affair. Whether it will bring goals and points for Suarez is another matter.

While hopes will be high for that encounter, Tottenham’s White Hart Lane clash with Stoke perhaps offers less on paper, although Tim Sherwood’s new broom could yet unearth some key Fantasy assets for 2014 with today’s clash providing an opportunity to scout out the potential on offer.

As usual, you can look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet updates from these matches, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to take you through to the final whistles.

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

    Seamus Coleman. £150,000 to Everton from Sligo Rovers. Bargain of the Premier League.

    Played underage for the Donegal footballers. Could have had a Celtic Cross if his soccer career didn't take him to England.

    Podolski has played 108 minutes this season.

    So 1 game & 18 minutes.

    He has played on the wing.

    He has scored 3 goals & got 1 assist.

    He is also a German international that has scored 46 goals in 111 games.

    Wenger, why is he not on the pitch?

    Especially as Giroud is 'tired'...

            RVP was getting 7 (ish) ppg, Suarez is getting 12ppg. There's no comparison. Suarez will be the highest scoring fpl player ever, and by some margin.

    Right. I've decided on a new cunning plan.

    Where feasible, I will take -12 points per week and merely replace 4 City and Arsenal players depending on who is playing at home or has the weaker opponent.

    That and Suarez/Rooney ofc

    What do you think? Should sort out the midfield issue nicely
