Five three o’clock kick-offs follow on from Chelsea’s clash with the Toffees at the Bridge, before the day’s entertainment is concluded at Selhurst Park where Tony Pulis attempts to erect “fortress Selhurst” ahead of the visit of Manchester United.
For now , however, our attention is elsewhere, as Arsenal host Sunderland at the Emirates and Man City face up to Stoke at the Etihad – it’s fair to say we’re expecting strong home wins and Fantasy points aplenty in both cases.
West Brom and Fulham fight out a relegation six-pointer at the Hawthorns, while West Ham continue their quest to find mid-table comfort against an in-form Southampton. Cardiff’s crucial home clash with Hull City concludes the programme before our focus turns to the evening kick-off.

Thank you to everyone who finished in the top 5 for being such good adversaries. The rivalry was incredible and I was really pushed to win it – to Jamie, especially, my commiserations, you played so well and I was surprised you didn’t catch me in the run in.

Also, thanks to everyone that took part and I hope to see you all back next season!
