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.

    Not sure whether to go Torres->RVP or Mata->Nasri. Mata will quite surely drop on price again, Torres not so much.

      Someone could make an absolute shitload of cash building a website that actually displays live scores/scorers. Every single one of the news sites that carries football results has at least a two minute delay if not more, it's a joke.

      Tonights transfers I think:
      CAshley > Cuellar to save cash & blank GW3
      Federici > random 4.0m GK (De Gea is my other keeper) - saves another 0.5m
      Torres > RVP

      GW4 - Bale is gone to save cash as well

      Now the question is, do I do Lambert > Petric as planned?

      Petric almost scored, in fact he should have, but Lambert was very dangerous (albeit against Wigan) and could have had 3.

      Steve Claridge on Final Score

      Speaking about Wayne Rooney's injury after the boot of Fulham's Hugo Rodallega catches the Manchester United striker's thigh: "Where the muscle is I think the leg has popped open. It happens sometimes and there is a huge gash there. You can see right through to the bone and it doesn't look particularly nice."
