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.

    Still don't have a clue who to bring in for Man Utd coverage. Kagawa looks like he should be nailed on now I guess, but other than that no idea. Rafael seems decent value but I guess Jones is back soon and he'll be a rotation risk?

        Hmm, good thinking. Might just stick with bringing Kagawa in for now. No Man Utd coverage at all at the moment because I wanted to see how they'd line up in the first couple of games. The number of times I transferred Kagawa in and out before GW1 as well... 🙂

        He's going to rack up the assists I reckon, normally I'd want a midfielder to be selfish like Nani and go for goal but I can see Kagawa being at the heart of everything for them this season, a bit like Silva for City last season. Hell of a player to watch anyway!
