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.

    Podolski > Petric
    Torres > Van Persie

          And the most smoking of all started with Gerrard and watched him get nothing against West Brom yet two assists against City.

          Then realized he's used up all his luck for the season and got him out before the Arsenal game 😉

    The thing about getting RVP is that he costs far too much & with Rooney playing in the team too, he wont score as many as last year.

    Also, there is a very real possibility that he may get injured. If he does, you will have to change most of your team to cope with transfering him out.

      The term injury prone is soo misused. RVP just played a full season, that pretty much means he is just as injury prone as any other player.
      I know he is expensive and I wont get him either, but feel very nervous watching the game.
