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.

    Time to swallow pride and get Yaya for first time this season. Time to end 22GWs of total misery. I cant climb OR without him picking other players so lets get him in and stop falling. Currently at 500K, this season is a write off anyway..

    How does a -4 for this sound?

    Kos, Ozil and Negredo----> MOlsson, Yaya and Aguero.

    I have Mert since 5.7M to cover Arsenal defence and will be doing Eriksen--->Ramsey in due course
