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.

    Alright everyone? Just got back form the Stadium of Light. Had that buzz of the first home game of the season this morning, totally deflated now (only compounded by having 3 Sunderland players in my team, leaving me with 2 Fulham defenders starting :/

    Real blow for us as we had great momentum coming from our double signing yesterday. Our first home game of the season will now be against morecambe on Tuesday...anti climax. Only a Bale hattrick will remove me from this slump 🙁
