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.

          Maybe he played like a boss GW1.
          Also, it was a genuine question, by which I meant did he give an assist or make several great blocks or clearances off the line or something.

      None - game won't be rescheduled until after the International break and will be the first free week for both clubs (i.e. no League Cup)

        I know, really not a fan of his. I suppose Lambert is giving players a chance, and we know he likes 4-4-2.
