We depart Old Trafford to tour a quintet of three o’clock matches, before dropping in on the Emirates as City look to put a final nail in Arsenal’s title coffin, boosting their own Chelsea chase in the process.

Before that, Jose Mourinho’s side have the opportunity to stretch their legs at the top as they pay visit to Selhurst Park – the only one of this afternoon’s encounters that addresses the title race. Elsewhere, we’re dealt an array of mid-table clashes and relegation wrangles with few prime Fantasy assets on show. It could be time for a few differentials to emerge, then, before Arsenal and City take to the turf to see us out.

You can look to our Twitter feed for all the lineup news, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open to welcome those who indulge in some real-time reaction while matches unfold.

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

    Last week: 168.

    This: 10.

    Need big performances from Mannone, Bardsley (pfffff...), Coleman, Gerrard, Nolan, Sturridge and Suarez(C) and it could still all work out...

        This week has made me realise this game actually is impossible, or at least impossible to play perfectly. I dumped all by Southampton players to get City players last week, and it paid of handsomely (Dzeko, Yaya, Zabaleta). This week, I'd have gladly had all the Southampton players back...

    Liverpool are officially title contenders in my eyes. Did not see Chelsea and City cocking up that badly. Pool winning tomorrow really stakes the claim.

      Every week I expect Liverpool to cock things up, and yet they keep winning and putting themselves in the title race.
      Im not sure my nerves can take much more of this

        Are you sure? Suarez & Sturridge vis a vis Torres/Negredo/Dzeko.

        City are incredible in Midfield though - Fernandinho & Silva remain fit - City win the league.

          Honestly can't call it. Everyone was saying Chelsea before today because of their fixtures. And look what happens. Agree City are faves though

      Wouldn't exactly call that a cock up by City, they will be happy with a point from today.

    Can we all say that Tony Pulis completely dominated Mourinho tactically today. A tactical masterclass from the wily Pulis...............oh sorry,such comments are only acceptable when Chelsea win 1-0 ! Silly me.

      Palace went at them, too. Kudos to them. It was like watching Rocky fight Apollo Creed. If Jay Puncheon had any vision, it could have been more than 1-0.
