Settle down, we’ve no less than three Premier League encounters to take us into Antiques Roadshow, with Fantasy points hopefully continuing to flow following yesterday’s drama. We’ve opened our Dugout Discussion chatroom to capture the real-time chatter, just in time for our first kick-off at Anfield, as Liverpool face the Gunners. Full line-ups here are…

Liverpool XI: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Allen, Sahin, Gerrard, Sterling, Borini, Suarez.
Substitutes: Jones, Carragher, Shelvey, Downing, Henderson, Kelly, Coates.

Arsenal XI: Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Cazorla, Arteta, Diaby, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud, Podolski.
Substitutes: Koscielny, Martinez, Santos, Ramsey, Coquelin, Gervinho, Walcott.

Later today, we’re treated to Newcastle vs Villa and Southampton vs United at St Mary’s. With Carlos Tevez delivering on his captaincy promised yesterday, all eyes will now be on Robin Van Persie as he takes on the Saints as United’s chief goal threat in the absence of the injured Wayne Rooney.

Enjoy today’s games, we’ll see you on the other side with the Stock Check…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I need to bring in a £4m defender so i can afford Hazard.

    Is Ben Davies likely to start for Swansea now after Taylor's leg break?

    Not seen Kagawa in other matches. But, today, I have not much impressed by Kagawa so far. Probably get Cazorla in for next week. His price will also surely rise after his impressive performance today.

          Rooney has played on the wing a lot especially when Ronaldo was still here and Berb and Tevez were playing more(you should know that looking at your grav. RVP can play there too so they can switch positions a lot and make for a very dynamyc front partnership.

            I want RVP up top making those runs off the defenders. I have my doubts about Rooney's physique. He was a quicker and fitter player back then. He was regularly involved in counter attacks with Ronaldo in those days.

      It's gonna be a real test of resolve for those on here that are planning to do without RVP. But then, their argument is not about whether he will score goals, but what they can do with the money they save. Fair play to them but I wouldnt do it.
