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.

        I thought it was a pen, but i think those ones are easily missed and Webb allowed a physical edge to the game from the off.

        I disagree with vilifying referees who do not have the benefit of video analysis and have to judge these things in real time under immense pressure.

    Well that was agony, but all said and done Walcott outscores Suarez with a proper assist and had a shot cleared off the line.

    The question is, does anyone have the balls to do it again? Cardiff reeling, Theo fresh.

    Reasons to be cheerful: 57 points post-VC/subs/BPs, should be a Big Green. Comfortably through in the cup.

    Reasons to be livid: Lukaku > Rooney(C), lost my H2H tie to a dead team with Anelka and Berbatov(C) with Hazard(VC). Hazard continues to be a thorn in my side.

    Nothing ever goes 100% perfectly. Always have to make some stupid mistake somewhere.
