  1. Fantasy Football alertpublished at 10:25 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March 2017

    It's a nightmare scenario for fantasy football managers this week, with only a small number of Premier League matches.

    Do you make numerous changes and take the penalty points? Well, you don't have long to make up your mind, so maybe some early team news from the Premier League games might help.

  2. Premier League action toopublished at 10:22 Greenwich Mean Time 11 March 2017

    Now, with all this talk of FA Cup action, let's not forget those sides whose cup dreams are over for another season.

    There are also three Premier League matches today.

    It looks a must-win game for Marco Silva's Hull. The Tigers have never been out of the relegation zone since Silva took over in January and can't escape the bottom three either today.

    However, a home win against fellow strugglers Swansea would give their hopes of staying in the top flight a huge boost.

    Middlesbrough v Manchester City (12:15 GMT)

    The Daily Mirror stoke up things a little bit before the early kick-off as they quote Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka, who says Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is a better manager than Manchester City's Pep Guardiola.

    Karanka is quoted as saying: “Is Pep the best coach in the world? No. The best coach in the world is Jose Mourinho.

    "He was the best in Spain, and he still is the best."

    What a season it has been in the FA Cup so far. We have had shocks and surprises and now only eight teams remain and Wembley is only one game away.

    It's all new for non-league Lincoln, who could well cause the shock of all shocks later on, away at the mighty, but troubled, Arsenal.

    But Manchester City have been here before many times and will be hoping to avoid a mini cup shock themselves in the early kick-off.
