After a damp and limp Saturday serving, Fantasy managers are desperately looking to today’s agenda to provide thrills, goals and returns. The four matches certainly have potential, beginning with Liverpool’s trip to Wales to face Swansea at the Liberty. Luis Suarez will carry the hopes of many going into this match, with a stream of talent continuing throughout the day with the likes of Juan Mata, Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale, Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero and Demba Ba all in action.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to catch all your reactions in real-time.

The team news is in and is as follows:

Chico returns to the heart of the hosts’ back-four, with Garry Monk dropping out. Michael Laudrup’s second alteration sees Wayne Routledge replace Nathan Dyer on the flank and with Ki Sung-Yeung fit enough only for the bench, Michu keeps his role in “the hole”, with Itay Shechter leading the line again.

Swansea Starting XI: Tremmel, Rangel, Williams (c), Chico, Davies, Britton, de Guzman, Routledge, Hernandez, Michu, Shechter

Brendan Rodgers makes two changes from the side that saw off Wigan last weekend. The Liverpool boss hands Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson starts, with Andre Wisdom and Suso missing out. Henderson’s installation is likely to see Steven Gerrard moved into the more advanced central midfield role once again, while Rodgers has confirmed that Downing will come in at left-back, with Jose Enrique keeping the role on the left of the front three. Wisdom had previously started the last seven for the Reds but picked up a knock in midweek on Europa League duties.

Liverpool Starting XI: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Downing, Allen, Henderson, Gerrard, Sterling, Suarez, Enrique

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

      B) will most likely work wonders midweek. Careful about Tevez though, as he will be rotated over the Christmas-period, I'm looking on getting rid after the Wigan-match.

    I guess its safe to say Enrique is a 100% nailed on. Rodgers actually made Glen Johnson go to RB and made Downing play as a LB just so Enrique could continue to play on the wing.

      He's a season keeper apparently. There's only one way to go now in attack. Get the big 3 up there and leave them to it. Rvp Tevez Suarez

    What's the chances Tevez won't rise tonight after all? Loads might shop him out as he was on the bench?

    Hey guys, just got back from Chelski Vs Citeh. Can anyone give me any valid reason to keep any Chelski attacking players, or are they of no worth at all as they appear to be dropping 30+ metres?

    So, like i predicted the City match would be low scoring, the Liverpool match would be dodgy and Bale wouldn't score. Two out of the three came through and i'm on only 32 points for the week. Depressing.
