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.

      I don't believe so (even as an owner)
      he's a world class player obviously, but more an assist man than a goal scorer. I think this year seems to be more beneficial to spend the money at the front and back

      He seemed ill today. I don't know if he is worth it. Is Michu worth 9m? Hazard 9m? Silva 9m? I got him because of walcott's injury, I've got walcott too now...this rest will do arsenal a lot of good, with more players coming back after the break.

      I don't think Ozil could cope with the physicality of today's game. He's been anonymous in a few games recently.

      Seems like it. I'm not going to though. I think he depends on Barkley playing, and it being a derby he's more likely to play, especially now with a rest, and Martinez with time to mull over how Lukaku is crucial to Everton's success and him not scoring is a problem that's being caused by Osman's return to the side.
