Last weekend’s headliners get the Gameweek started as Swansea face West Ham at the Liberty in the day’s early kick-off. Following that, we’ve no less than seven other Premier League matches in a bumper Saturday programme. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to soak up your real-time reactions as today’s matches roll on.

The team news from Swansea finds Michael Laudrup not surprisingly keeping faith with the same XI which scored five at Loftus Road. Chico recovers from a knock to start in defence, then. As for West Ham, they give £10 million man Matt Jarvis his debut, while James Tomkins also returns to the starting lineup and could well occupy a midfield role. Ricardo Vaz Te and Matt Taylor have made way.

Enjoy the game and all today’s action.

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

    Already thinking about GW3 and Mata seems to be the favourite to be shifted. Do we:
    a) think he can survive tonight without dropping again?
    b) have any suggestions for a replacement for the next 4 weeks? I may double up on Spurs/Swansea. Already have Bale and Michu FYI.

        You have to go to the Make Transfers bit and then click a little red box that says STATS next to the players name in the player lists on the right.

        It's tres awkward but you can save a bit of time by typing the first few letters of the players name to find them.

    Possible GW3 Moves

    A) Torres + Iva -> Vert + Tevez
    B) Do only one and start with no bench and Clyne in the starting xi

      Mini-leaguer has done just that and thrown him the armband. I'll hold my opinion until after the game though 🙂

    Guys in India.

    The Swansea vs West Ham game is not being telecasted on either channel? Was so looking forward to it:(

    Could you help me with the best source to buffer the game?
