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.

    Picking De Guzman ahead of Michu to my Fantasy team again looks to bring only irritation.

    Lol i don't have Rangel admittedly but all these folk saying it was a Rangel goal bet you all have him. If it was a cross and a defender stuck his foot out and it went in. it would be an Own Goal. whats difference just cos keeper did it with his hands?

        It you look closely it probably wasn't going in, but they will give him the benefit of the doubt, like they did with Bale last season.

      It wouldn't necessarily be an own goal if it was already going in. I don't own Rangel. Almost no one does.

      If the shot was on target and the keeper pushed it in, it's a goal.
      If it was off target and then the keeper pushed it in, then it's an own goal.
