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 seems the Sunderland game was waterlogged cos the drainage system didn't work. The Reading manger says their pitch could have handled the rain.

    no worries all, RVP will get injured in the first 10 minutes, then Rooney scores a brace.
    wildcard activated, just in case that doesn't happen 😀

    Just thinking back to last season when everyone without RVP threw a huge party when he was named on the bench and then came on and duly scored a brace with 3 baps. Don't think we can 'celebrate' Rooney's failure just yet.....

    Just throwing this out there for my friends who have Captained Rooney.

      Had him as (c) that day.... the texts I got from rivals when he was benched, then when he came on "for 1 point", then when he went nuts were absolutely fantastic. I've kept them on my phone.

      In fact, It would seem to me like this may be even more worrisome for RVP owners. Can see an early exit for him as he is not yet match fit

    So Sunderland - Reading seems to have been rescheduled to Tuesday. If that's so, is it still likely to fall in this GW? Presumably so?

    Reading Manager:
    "There is no way a game could be played today. It is highly unusual a game is called off in August, but it is what it is and we look forward now to Tuesday."

      The best boards are the self-moderating ones. It's down to the community to make sure people know what isn't acceptable. Obviously if things then get out of hand, we step in.

    Thoughts? Papiss looks to be a more consistent starter this year and it'll free up some cash for other xfers in the future.
