Sunday delivers a double header of lip-smacking ties, as old rivals United and Liverpool clash at Old Trafford, whilst Arsenal host City in the four o’clock kick-off. With a host of big Fantasy assets on show, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to catch the real-time yelps and cries as events unfold.

The team news for the lunchtime kick-off finds Sir Alex Ferguson opting for the experienced pairing of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand at the back, with Jonny Evans reportedly missing out with a hamstring problem. Elsewhere in the United lineup, Danny Welbeck is drafted in, along with Shinji Kagawa as Antonio Valencia and the rather unfortunate Javier Hernandez drop to the bench.

Visitors Liverpool make just one change: Joe Allen comes into the midfield with Jordan Henderson dropping out. Andre Wisdom again occupies the right-back role, then, with Glen Johnson deployed at left-back. Both Daniel Sturridge and the returning Fabio Borini find places on the bench.

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

        As regards the Loïc Rémy to Newcastle transfer, yes, the two clubs have agreed terms and yes, Rémy said goodbye to his Marseille team-mates today.

        But he has still to pass the medical in Newcastle, and seeing as though he's been injury-riven (thigh problems) for the last 12 months, it's by no means a certainty that he'll pass. His medical when he joined Marseille revealed heart problems too.

        If he recovers the form and the fitness of two years ago, then Rémy is potentially a good signing, but it's a bit of leap of faith on Pardew's behalf. He's only started 2 out of 19 games so far this season, and there are rumours of personal disagreements with club officials too.

        Why do you think that OM are now happy to take £10 million for a player for whom they turned down bids of over £20 million last year?

          Sounds like a typical Newcastle french signing:

          Ba - on a free but with release clause due to dodgy knee
          Marveuax - fails medical at Liverpool, Newcastle drive him up hours later and sign him
          Ben Arfa - refuses to play for Marseille anymore and to return to training so Newcastle step in
          Cabaye - we somehow find out he has a £4.3m release clause in his contract and active it.
