After a less than fulfilling Saturday, Fantasy managers will be looking to Sundayโ€™s fare with huge expectations and the hope that todayโ€™s returns can rescue respectability.

The bill certainly looks talented enough, with Roberto Martinezโ€™s Everton hosting Southampton and leaders Arsenal making the trip to in-form Newcastle โ€“ both those matches bristle with goals and could well offer a strong platform for the todayโ€™s four oโ€™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, Tottenhamโ€™s White Hart Lane clash with Stoke perhaps offers less on paper, although Tim Sherwoodโ€™s new broom could yet unearth some key Fantasy assets for 2014 with todayโ€™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.

        Nice...just goes to show that hits are worthwhile if taking into account the future benefit also. Both Ramsey and Ozil out for a few games at least and Walcott involved in everything Arsenal do at the moment. Navas will be key for the next few games also.

        Having watched that I don't think I'll take a punt on Cazorla.
        Which player would you most want for next gw excluding these?

        Mannone
        Distin, Mert, Burner, Chester, Ward
        Yaya, Cabaye, Ramsey, Walcott, JWP
        Suarez, Rooney, Negredo

        Any transfer I make will cost -4.
        4m ITB.
        If I do nothing Burner will play.
