Sunday focuses on the ambitions of the Merseyside pair, as Everton look to close in on fourth place with a win over Arsenal at Goodison, while Liverpool seek to extend their run of victories to nine by clawing back top spot with the points at West Ham.

Arsenal take on the Toffees having won just once in five matches, while Roberto Martinez’s outfit have five straight wins, putting them just four points behind the Gunners with a game in hand. Sunday’s clash is perfectly poised, then, with Fantasy managers looking to a host of Everton options ahead of their double Gameweek to come.

Later today, Luis Suarez will face up to a West Ham defence with the majority backing the Uruguayan with the armband. His potential haul looks pivotal to our Gameweek fortunes again, with the likes of Daniel Sturridge and Steven Gerrard providing an able supporting cast at the Boleyn Ground.

Our Twitter feed will bring you all the news from today’s teamsheets, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to accompany you right through to the final whistle in East London.

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

    So while we wait for the Liverpool game who do you guys reckon are the main priorities for the DGW?

    I'd say:

    Everton Defender
    Toure
    Lukaku
    Silva / Nasri
    Everton Defender x2
    Mirallas / Barkley
    Dzeko
    Aguero

    Aguero is too risky for me and dzeko a minutes could be limited but like my decisions in the last few weeks I could be way off. Thoughts?

        I'm also serioiusly considering ousting Hazard - madness?

      mirallas if anyone, but 90% sure no one will get it.
      mirallas through ball to naismith, naismith never quite gets to the ball, szczesny slides out and parries it out to the penalty spot, mirallas and arteta race for the ball and arteta pokes it into his own goal.
      only an assist if mirallas shot in the first place
