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.

    Can anyone beat this?

    Aguero (C) = 0
    Ba (VC) = -2
    Silva out, Dyer Red Card off the bench = 3
    Sess Red Card = -2
    Richards No Show
    Kelly No Show

    Currently on 17 points with Bale to play.

    Pathetic

      Now no Bale, total pish. Have BAE coming of the bench probably to bring me more negative points as Utd score 4 and he picks up a yellow or red card

      I genuinely can't see Liverpool scoring more than 1 or 2 goals for the entire GW. They'd have to have a huge reversal in converting chances.

    Skrtel or Enrique for the DGW? There doesn't appear to be much between them with the Opta stats... Enrique comes out on top creatively, while Skrtel has more attempts on goal.

    With Gerrard and Adam on set pieces, I'm tempted to go Skrtel. Thoughts?

    Last page.... you're writing too fast guys 😛

    Which player is the best to have in my WC team?

    A:Santon(if not it will mean no other Newcastle coverage)

    B:McAuley(WBA)

    C:Jonas Olsson(WBA)

    D: Get Russel Martin(Norwich) in only for this week, he plays WIgan at home and is a huge goal threat. Then after GW 28 is over, straight swap to McAuley/Olsson.
