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.

    Was podolski off injured or just a late sub?

        Which is why I told people at the start of the season to get a £4.5m keeper with DDG for the days when he gets rested.

          Most people have Federici as 2nd keeper and it just so happens he has no game.

      He's playing fpl too? Thought he had get a little ahead of you guys. 🙂

      But seriously, I'd blame this one on you. It was clearly known right from the very outset, that Lindegaard and De Gea would be rotated. Lindegaard had signed a 4 year contract after all, and he done reasonably well last season. You knew this when you took De Gea.

        😆 See I saw that as a way to encourage DDG to keep it up more than an intent to play both evenly as DDG is better. Not too big a deal, wasn't expecting a United cleanie so can change my GKs easily enough.
