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.

      So that he plays the entire 90 min? Am sorry, but I really think Rooney will come in at some point of time during the match irrespective of whether United are winning or losing.

    Disaster of a week already.......

    - The people a week ago that didn't even know Michus name, now have him as Capt.
    - Rooney on the bench, and will come on to get me 1 point as Captain.
    - Cuellar randomly has his game called off. Terry picks up an injury, so now I get Hangeland in away to United
    - Federici doesn't play, and I get Jussi in goal who Swansea are pounding.
    - My main rival has Rangel who scores a fluke.

    Sometimes I hate this game.

          Don't think so, it's so Rooney gets a kick up his arse after the form, or lack there of, that he has had. Rooney and RVP will start most games, enough to be good picks IMO.

      Michu probably wont get 2 bps with that yellow. The clean sheet will mean Williams, Flores, Taylor will all be challenging for 2.

        Chico got the yellow didn't he? besides Rangel got a yellow also. Could be close.

          A right. OK. Williams will pick up 2bps I think. I'll check the stats.
