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.

    It's unfortunate that people had/have faith in Graham, he was good for the odd goal last year but if you look at him, he's actually terribly average, verging on atrocious.

    So the impression I get on here is that Michu is a flukey and lucky SOB but Graham is a top notch striker who just happens to not be involved in any of Swansea's 7 goals so far. 😀

    West Ham doing nothing to dispel their stereotype and doing a fair bit of hoofing, but looking dangerous from set pieces, Jarvis looks handy as well, some great crosses and a decent effort on goal inside the box.

    Swansea's goals both came from defensive howlers, but they still look pretty threatening on the counter, Michu often seems to be playing further up than Graham.

    Predictions: West Ham to score from a set piece, Swansea to get one more, and Michu to pick up a yellow.
