There’s no less than eight Premier League encounters coming our way today, starting with QPR’s vital home clash with an out-of-sorts Norwich at Loftus Road. That’s followed by a host of three o’clock matches, with the likes of Theo Walcott and Juan Mata in action, before Robin Van Persie takes to the field at Craven Cottage later this evening, sporting the Fantasy armband for many yet again.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain your stop off for real-time venting as the ninety minutes are played out.

The team news from Shepherd’s Bush finds Harry Redknapp handing QPR debuts to both Chris Samba and Andos Townsend, while both Shaun Wright-Phillips and Jamie Mackie also earn recalls. Ryan Nelsen has, of course, now departed for Toronto, Esteban Granero drops out, while Nedum Onuoha and Loic Remy miss out through injury, presumably sustained in training late on Friday. Visitors Norwich are unchanged, with new signing Luciano Becchio nestled on the bench.

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

      I was looking at that for a 1 GW punt to field 11, then ship for Taarabt, but after todays display he looks much more than a decent 1 GW punt.
