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.

    What would you do with this lot? 1FT and 0.4M in the bank 🙁 :
    Mignolet/Marshall
    Dawson / Terry / Chico / Clyne / Ward
    Ramsey / Yaya / Ozil / Morrison / Kim
    Lukaku / Aguero / Sturridge

    Somehow I think I need to upgrade Sturridge to Suarez (sooner rather than later) and I'm starting to think that downgrading Dawson to Rat for example would be a good way to save some mullah for Suarez. Lukaku should probably go too...

    Arsenal's attacking format is quite similar to the Napoli ones where we focused on possession to neutralize the opposition threat. Midfielders are very interchangeable and I think the plan will be to hold the midfield and pass through a parked defence with quick combinations. Not liking Vermaelen back, defends too high up the pitch so hope RVP doesn't punish him. Loving Flamini back as our destroyer though. I may be pumping my fist in triumph at every physical assault he makes.

    Pleased to see Kagawa and Valencia on the wings, not unduly scared of that. Jones looks like doing a job on Ozil as predicted by a few united fans.
