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.

    Need a bit of perspective on Arsenal. If anyone had said at the beginning of the season that they would top the league ten games in with key players like Walcott, Podolski and Cazorla out for many games, we all would have laughed. In fact nobody would have said it because it's ludicrous. With those guys starting to come back in now why shouldn't they go on and win the thing?

      Because, largely, a title winning team needs to beat the big teams and have the squad depth to cope. Or maybe it doesn't matter, everyone loses to everyone.

      I think they can win the league btw...if they buy another striker in January.

        Agreed we need a another striker. Beating the big teams helps but the title is won and lost against the smaller teams. Majority of points come from them and its consistency you need to win the league. Still think Arsenal have a shot at it. We weren't played off the park today by any means

          Exactly. I think Man U won something like 19/20 games against bottom half teams last year. And Arsenal have already beaten Tottenham and Liverpool.

          I think they are in with a shout but will need a good lead at Christmas. A few teams will click in the second half of the season I reckon.
