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.

    Thinking of activating my wildcard...

    Looking at this at the moment:

    Mignolet / Harper

    Koscielny / Zabaleta / GJ / Burner / Ward

    Hazard / Ramsay / Lallana / Cabaye / Januzaj

    Suarez / Rooney / Negredo

    Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

    I watched the Norwich game last night, Norwich were all over the place in the first half... West Ham probably should have score 3-4...

    Remy playing Norwich in GW12 is very tempting... but I'm sure most of us don't have any spare attacking slots... but perhaps the Lukaku owners will jump ship...

    What will QPR do with Remy?

    Currently he's still our player but every goal he scores bumps up his value. Plus, there's every possibility that we will get promoted this season.
