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.

        They're actually pretty good. Have compared them with various Sennheiser and Pioneer and there's not too much between them.

          lol Pioneer aren't the benchmark. For the price you could get a pair of bose headphones that would sound lots better. Not looking like a twat in the process is a bonus.

          Not actually much between most headphones! It's mostly a load of sh*t about the hardware and signal and all of that. They've done tests and people can't tell the difference between bargain bin headphones and top of the line headphones. Even so called audiophiles can't tell the difference. My issue stems from the price, they're very expensive when a pair of 70 quid Senns are as good.

            I bought my Beats (Studio) for 100 pounds brand new off gumtree. I know what you mean and you are probably right but an 'attack' on Beats is a bit unnecessary. Sound quality is good and appearance-wise (you may not like them) is also very good. The only problem I have with them is that they are a bit fragile. Other than that, I've been very happy.

              Hey look I'm honestly not attacking 😀 People who like them have every right to, I like the look of them too. They are a bit fragile but I honestly don't regard them as bad, just the pricing is very unfair since the only thing that pushes the price up is the affiliation with Dre. Honestly though, everyone has their own tastes on this 😀

            This I do disagree with. Go up into the £200+ area and it's a whole world of difference.

              I'm just quoting proper tests. I've been into the higher ranges aswell and would think it sounded better but I think that is more to do with design of the sound leakage and that stuff. They've done blindfolded tests and it showed a very obvious inability to notice the sound difference. So it's what you want to make out of it really, I personally think it's more to do with the overall design of the headphone than the actual signal quality.

    Reasons why Arsenal look more solid this season

    1) Steve Bould
    2) The fullbacks are not pushing fwd. This is hindering the attack.
    3) Walcott isnt playing.
    4) Vermaelan is bombing forward like a nutter so much, and when he does another player is filling the gap.
    5) Song is not giving the ball away trying hollywood passes all the time.
