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.

    So did many like myself play Petric? Think he might sneak one if I'm honest.

      I'm not keen on having him in. It was either that or Fabio or Hang land. Best bet of the lot though.

    What's going in with Edna Stevens for Villa?
    Is it worth hanging on to him or am I better off shipping him out?

    Heres too Kagawa goal, RVP 1 pointer and Roo 1 pointer as a 56 minute sub shatters hopes of those that have spent 25% of funds on both Roo and RVP
