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.

    Any chance that the Sunderland game could be played on Mon/Tue and kept within the GW?

    No? I thought not. 🙁

      Tempting. My team is on 24 pts (Rooney captain) with Ramires benched, Torress, Clichy and Gibbs.

      Next week 3 players no games. Rooney out. I have th elikes of Hoilett and SNodgrass filling the gaps.

      May take an 8 pts hit -

      Rooney -> RVP
      Torress -> Tevez
      Ramires -> Felaini

      Would have to do it today before price rises though to afford it!
