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 think RVP might be a bit of a differential up the sharp end of the rankings
      I'm tempted to weaken my team elsewhere and get in Rooney over RVP

      He seems like a player who can score against the big teams. He has, against united, city. I hope Barkley plays because it's a derby, him being a homeboy, him with lukaku works.

    Ozil is turning into my worst buy of the season.

    Aguero is the only player I want...but i don't want to take out Lukaku...or Ozil...in order to fund it...

      i think in value for money stakes ozil is a rather decadent buy

        He has delivered for me. I'd have Aguero if i could have 4 strikers...that's the issue. I have Ozil because the other highly priced midfielders are hardly doing much either.

        I think he was ill today. I think he needs a rest.

    Badly need Walcott back.

    No one making the runs, or having the pace to make them

    Can't wait to go on a run again, while City and Chelsea keep losing to random bottom half teams lol
