After a damp and limp Saturday serving, Fantasy managers are desperately looking to today’s agenda to provide thrills, goals and returns. The four matches certainly have potential, beginning with Liverpool’s trip to Wales to face Swansea at the Liberty. Luis Suarez will carry the hopes of many going into this match, with a stream of talent continuing throughout the day with the likes of Juan Mata, Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale, Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero and Demba Ba all in action.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to catch all your reactions in real-time.

The team news is in and is as follows:

Chico returns to the heart of the hosts’ back-four, with Garry Monk dropping out. Michael Laudrup’s second alteration sees Wayne Routledge replace Nathan Dyer on the flank and with Ki Sung-Yeung fit enough only for the bench, Michu keeps his role in “the holeâ€, with Itay Shechter leading the line again.

Swansea Starting XI: Tremmel, Rangel, Williams (c), Chico, Davies, Britton, de Guzman, Routledge, Hernandez, Michu, Shechter

Brendan Rodgers makes two changes from the side that saw off Wigan last weekend. The Liverpool boss hands Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson starts, with Andre Wisdom and Suso missing out. Henderson’s installation is likely to see Steven Gerrard moved into the more advanced central midfield role once again, while Rodgers has confirmed that Downing will come in at left-back, with Jose Enrique keeping the role on the left of the front three. Wisdom had previously started the last seven for the Reds but picked up a knock in midweek on Europa League duties.

Liverpool Starting XI: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Downing, Allen, Henderson, Gerrard, Sterling, Suarez, Enrique

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.
