Following a dramatic Stadium of Light clash, we can now look forward to five three o’clock kick-offs keep Saturday’s action moving, before Liverpool host Villa in the evening encounter.

Fantasy managers will be fixated on events at the Emirates and the Etihad as Arsenal and City face up to favourable opponents on home turf. The likes of David Silva, Yaya Toure and Alvaro Negredo will be well backed ahead of their meeting with Cardiff, while Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud will be amongst the names being watched keenly when Fulham draw up in North London.

Elsehwhere, many Fantasy managers will be hoping for Palace to reconstruct fortress Selhurst Park and earn a clean sheet against visiting Stoke. Meanwhile, Norwich host Hull City and West Ham look to continue their revival against Newcastle at the Boleyn Ground.

You can look to our Twitter feed for the teamsheet news, whilst the Dugout Discussion chatroom will remain available right up until the final whistle at Anfield this evening.

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

    Posted yesterday....
    I should have listened to my own advice!

    Useful stat attack for those deciding on captains assuming we are all deciding between Liverpool City or Arsenal....... Ranking

    Crosses conceded from left side - Fulham 1st, Villa 3rd, Cardiff 7th Nice for anyone considering Cazorla, or Giroud if he can pull his finger out

    Crosses conceded from right side - Cardiff 1st, Fulham 3rd, Villa 7th Navas is the stand out here, crossing to Negredo/Dzeko, and Zabaleta could kill them too

    Chances conceded from left side - Fulham 1st, Cardiff 4th, Villa 5th As before Cazorla, or even Podolski could do well here, still Villa appears to be usefully bad defensively for Suarez

    Chances conceded from right side - Cardiff 1st, Fulham 3rd, Villa 7th. The same as crosses Cardiff struggle on the right, Navas and Zabaleta cutting in. Also maybe Gnabry can get some joy here?

    Chances conceded centrally - Cardiff 4th Fulham 5th, Villa 12th Annoying Villa are the strongest of the three

    I also filtered the results by away games. Fulham are by far the weakest
