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.

          Yeah Pogrebnyak looks like their main goal threat and even if Dempsey does get the goals so will Pog and at £6.1m that trumps £8.6m.

          Getting Bale back GW31 onwards.

          Bored of my team and the same names every week Silva/Bale/Dempsey/Aguero. Plenty more options to be had out there.

    Wolves are so bad. Why wouldn't they just play a simple attacking team, whenever they field these defenders OOP wolves get hammered. Most of Wolves' best players are on the bench--Milijas, Hunt, Fletcher, etc.
