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 haven't really seen any Norwich games - are they a threat going forward? I really want to start Jaask away against Norwich GW4.

      Norwich will have a goal in them... confidence growing & looking stronger with their new signings ... Holt not as sharp tho. Snoddgrass is on everything tho

    I get the sinking feeling I've missed something important regarding Zabs, since there's lots of posts on here 2day talking about dropping him......?? Or is it just people shipping out City defenders in general??

      Came off clutching his hamstrings, Maicon is available for next game and City haven't kept a CS. There you go.

          I didn't expect much from him but he seems to be delivering. Doesn't get 90 mins though which is concerning.

    Hi guys, I'm usually really good with my WC and save until well into the season. Currently hovering around the outside of top 100k, 60+ bonus from this week...

    ....however no RVP. No united cover at all in fact apart from DDG. My team at the moment just isn't rotating, 90% of the players are home then away which could end up costing me. My defence is also atrocious.

    DDG Fed
    McCartney Kolarov Ivanovic Clyne Hangeland
    Yaya Cazorla Hazard (from Bale) Michu Noble
    Torres Graham Tevez

    FT Bale > Haz done yesterday before price hike. So so tempted to just fire the WC please talk me out of it. Or maybe I'm right and if so how to get RVP in without altering a MF I'm super happy with (-Noble)? 0.3 in bank.

    N.Dyer/Michu/Bale/M.Noble/Mcclean

    Goalkeepers look a problem. Lescott, Fabio, Petric are worries. I do have one FT to go. Unsure what to do.

    is it worth it to do petric-> berba? it would be unfair of jol to drop petric after his brilliant preseason but berba is there to be a starter....i'm leaning to keeping petric for now he has good games coming up. Any thoughts?
