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.

        Easy there....The last time West Ham also got a CS was also last week. Doesn't imply either will happen this week.

        Then again, he was stupid going against a team which already did look in form.

          I already called myself stupid (and indeed stupid for hoping nonetheless) no need for the extra knock, I've already knocked myself. Having double West Ham defence first week worked out well and James Collins is only in the team because of Terry's likely absence, plus he gets a goal from time to time.
