PlayON, the weekly Fantasy Football game, is running a mini-gameweek which consists of Tuesday and Wednesday evening’s five fixtures. As always, we scour the PlayON Price List for potential bargains ahead of this evening’s kick-offs:

PlayON is also launching a new Twitter feed today @PlayONLive – which provides a live feed of all team news, goals, assists and results for all Premier League matches. You can follow @PlayONLive here

If you’re new to PlayON, it is weekly Fantasy Football so you can dip in and out of playing throughout the season.

Once your starting XI is built you can compete for cash. You can challenge other players to one-on-one games, selecting the amount at stake. The likes of Robbie Fowler, Les Ferdinand and OptaJoe are all playing the game and are there to be challenged for free or for £1. The Fantasy Football Scout team is also available to be challenged and has a 52% win rate up to this point. You can also create an open challenge against anyone else on the site – just click the amount you want to play for and the number of slots (number of people who can accept your challenge) on the one-on-one page .

For a more in-depth introduction to PlayON, take a look at this season’s introduction article.

Goalkeeper – Simon Mignolet
The Liverpool number one will fancy his chances of picking up a third clean sheet in four attempts in tomorrow evening’s Anfield showdown with Sunderland. The Black Cats are toiling up top right now and have found the net once in their last four league matches, suggesting Mignolet, at 8.2m, could offer decent value. Wojciech Szczesny can be acquired for just 8.0m ahead of this evening’s home encounter with Swansea. Arsenal may be licking their wounds after Saturday’s mauling at Stamford Bridge but their home form is another matter altogether – the Gunners have conceded just once in their last six at the Emirates. Alternatively, Newcastle’s Tim Krul (8.5m) entertains an Everton side that have scored only one goal in their previous four road trips.

Defender – Thomas Vermaelen
With Laurent Koscielny sidelined due to a calf complaint, the Belgian looks set to partner Per Mertesacker in the heart of the Gunners defence. Having last started a league match back in late December, Vermaelen is a budget-friendly option in this week’s PlayON Player Price List and will set you back just 7.3m for the visit of Swansea. Everton’s Phil Jagielka has recovered from a hamstring injury and is expected to return to the starting line-up to face Newcastle. The Toffees skipper costs 8.4m and is up against a Magpies side that have scored a single goal in their last five league games without Loic Remy. Hull’s James Chester is priced at a reasonable 8.3m for the visit to West Ham, given that the Tigers have chalked up a clean sheet in each of their last two road trips.

Midfielder – Alex Oxlade Chamberlain
Prior to last weekend’s disastrous defeat at the hands of Chelsea, the Arsenal midfielder had scored or assisted in all three of his starts since returning from a knee injury. Cleared by the FA after a belated charge of wrongful dismissal was rescinded, the 8.8m-priced Oxlade-Chamberlain will be looking to help the Gunners bounce back from their Stamford Bridge humiliation against struggling Swansea this evening. Hatem Ben Arfa (8.0m) is a bit of a punt but the Frenchman could be set for a start against Everton this evening after impressing as a substitute in Newcastle’s late win over Crystal Palace on Saturday. Juan Mata is a relatively budget-friendly 9.2m for this evening’s Manchester derby. An injury to Robin van Persie saw the Spaniard shift to his preferred central berth behind Wayne Rooney on Saturday – his promptings from the role in “the hole” could make all the difference at Old Trafford.

Forward – Andy Carroll
A home clash with Hull gives Sam Allardyce the perfect chance to arrest a run of three straight defeats. The Hammers sit just six points clear of danger and Carroll’s contribution will be key tomorrow night – Steve Bruce’s side can expect an aerial bombardment as the hosts look to feed their 10.8m-priced target man in and around the area. Having missed the weekend win over Fulham through illness, Edin Dzeko has returned to full training and could be set to lead the line for Manchester City tonight. Priced at 10.2m, he’s scored in four of his last seven league appearances and looks in the mood to take advantage of United’s poor home form under David Moyes. Finally, Danny Welbeck will set you back just 8.4m for tonight’s Manchester derby. There’s no guarantee he’ll start but, at that price, the United frontman could well be worth a flutter as David Moyes looks to build on Saturday’s win over West Ham.

    any betting people have any doubt that Bayern will do anything but win tonight? Although it seems a guarantee, I'm not confident of betting large amounts of money without a sure outcome.

    Last time I tried I out a good chunk of money on Liverpool to win against Swansea, turn the radio on to find it 3-3 and consequently lose signal! :s

      Paddy Power are showing odds of 2/9 on a Bayern win, not worth it IMO.

      Rested? I guess you are extending it to this weekend also? This would then mean 2 games off, when a yellow will see him banned for 2 games, so a self inflicted ban. Err, no.

          They beat Spurs 5-0 last time without him. Not sure him missing a game is the biggest worry. I remember there was even talk about were Liverpool maybe better without him. Not sure I'd go as far as to say that, but long story short, I think he'll play.

      personally i think gerrard may get a tactical yellow tomorrow. he has 7 yc in 10 games and his new role means he ends up making those 'necessary' fouls. he could maybe do with a rest but 4 games without a yc is alot. if he gets it in any of the other games he will miss either city/chelski or both.

        just to add to this missing spurs + west ham games with a yc tomorrow wouldnt be too bad for him to be nicely rested for city+chelski games
