This feels new. A Friday deadline, a Friday kick-off. While we cackle with the laugh of an evil genius at the prospect of mini-league rivals who may have been taken by surprise by today’s schedule, why not pop into the Dugout Discussion Chatroom to enjoy the unusual events of the day alongside your Fantasy Football peers.

Today’s single Premier League game is at the Liberty Stadium where the Swansea defence and possession game faces up to the league’s in-form striker – Papiss Cisse. This might well provide a tasty amuse-bouche before tomorrow’s main course.

There’s some rather interesting team news from the home side. Brendan Rodgers drops Danny Graham to the bench having watched the former Watford man fail to score in six, recalling Luke Moore to the starting lineup. Scott Sinclair, rather surprisingly, finds himself sitting next to Graham on the bench as Rodgers brings in Nathan Dyer and switches Wayne Routledge to the left-flank. We therefore presume that Gylfi Sigurdsson will be on spot-kicks. Andy is hovering over the Tweet button already.

As for Newcastle, James Perch shakes off a calf injury to take his place in a defence which includes the recalled Davide Santon. He starts at left-back with Jonas Gutierrez moving into the midfield three to replace the injured Danny Guthrie.

Enjoy the game. Don’t too much chocolate. Come and have a chat.

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

      For me all of them. I knew that he is good bet this time, but my defenders were all playable.

      Skrtel, Verm, Jevans. Maybe Skrtel could be benched

    This Cisse bandwagon has to be climbed on. Only problems are a) blank 34 and b) would need to take a hit to do it.
