Sunday brings us three Premier League matches, with events kicking off at midday with the Tyne-Wear derby clash and culminating with the titanic clash at White Hart Lane. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will be around to soak your reactions as the day progresses.

The team news from the Sports Direct Arena brings us no surprises in the Newcastle lineup with Papiss Cisse shaking off a groin problem to partner Demba Ba up front. Martin O’Neill has given us food for thought, however, drafting in Nicklas Bendtner in attack, presumably shifting Stephane Sessegnon to a support role. Jack Colbak makes way, while Phil Bardsley recovers form a calf problem to take his place in the back four.

Enjoy the game, and the Fulham vs Wolves and Tottenham vs Man United clashes later today and pop into to the Dugout Discussion for some real-time Fantasy Football bantering.

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

    I think Sess's red was partly due to him being given the free role. He looked out of soughts all game

    Please excuse my stream of consciousness but FWIW I am doing a wholesale wrecking ball job on my team even though it's going to give me a 12 pt hit, I am 2nd in my (main) minileague but there is no real differential between our teams at the moment, so going to bring in Nani, Rooney, McClean (& Surman) and out with Dempsey, Sess, Ba and Valencia, plus I've only just noticed the niceness of Man Utd's fixtures after today...

    Anyone else thinking of doing similar? Games are running out fast and I'm goddamm'd if I'm not going to win this minileague, it's do or die time people, ARE YOU WITH ME?!11111!

    Being honest I think AVB was very unlucky at Chelsea. He went attacking at OT and tried to play the game the way its should be played. Granted some of the defending -e.g Luiz vs Napoli- wasn't great but AVB just didn't get enough time, He will be a good manager in time, but i feel the likes of Lamps and Drog had too strong an influence in the dressing room. Fabio Capello anyone? Maybe even Pep?
