A quartet of matches, three of which are beamed into our living rooms as we sit and count up the Fantasy points. This is a Sunday to savour.

Certainly, expectations are high. With Manchester City’s goal machine set to engage against struggling Sunderland, Spurs and Swansea with home matches and a true classic in the making to come at Old Trafford, the day looks packed with goals, incident and potential returns.

White Hart Lane provides the venue for our first encounter at midday, as Andre Villas-Boas look to cut loose having scored just two goals in their last three home league matches. Newcastle turn up looking to spoil the party, fresh from taking three points off Chelsea last weekend. That’s followed by City’s trip to Sunderland, with Sergio Aguero looking to maintain an incredible run of scoring form that has seen him notch seven goals in his last five league starts. Swansea host Stoke following that, a match cast in the shadow of Man United’s clash with Arsenal. A rich array of talent is on show at Old Trafford, with Fantasy managers hoping for goals and points from the likes of Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil.

Look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will stick around throughout to cater for your real-time chatter requirements.

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

    Really hoping Januzaj doesn't feature today. Could do with Ravel's eight points off the bench.

      Lamela better be worth his price tag, because Spurs look lacking in creativity and attack, unless one counts Tonwsend and Paulinho absorbing 2/3 of their missed shots as creative.

    Come on RVP, step up my friend or you're on the list too. If not, at least have the decency to not play at all so I get RMorrison's points off the bench.

    Aguero owner without Nasri here. I think it's ludicrous for me to hope Aguero scores without Nasri getting points. Excluding Negredo, that would need one of Milner, Yaya or Garcia to assist him. No-win.

    Aguero to continue his fine streak of form (with Yaya devoid of attacking returns)
    A Swansea clean sheet would be a bonus too 🙂

    Not much I'm sure, but it would mean a lot 🙂

    Is it worth a 4-point hit to take out Lukaku? It would be to either Remy or Benteke. Agbonlahor and Weimann should be back in two weeks so that should make Benteke a better proposition.
