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.

    Ox has been very tentative this game. He's playing under control, but I'd like to see him attack more. Seems uninterested.

    Why does Suarez bother dribbling? Can't get past his marker to save his life. Might as well just pass immediately everytime he gets the ball.

    Podolski has made a few strong tough tackles this game. Finally gives them some teeth in winning the ball back (unlike Gervinho and Walcott who would avoid tackles at all cost)

      Yaya for 2 reasons

      1) He has a better attacking upside

      2) He would be less of a red card risk

    At some point, leagues need to review match tape and hand out yellows for deceit after the completion of the match. The only way to stop or slow down the diving is to penalize players for doing so. Fine them or give them yellows after matches is the only way I can think of doing it.

        Or he'd shape up. I don't see how else you clean it up. Refs are to scared to impact games with yellows during the match so they don't hand out cards for deceit. Post match would have an impact with suspensions, but wouldn't impact the game that day.

      The do this in NRL in Oz. Ref can choose to put a player 'on report' then they have a match review panel who can check out video footage and hand out bans..... Works well, and adds a bit of drama
