Sundayโ€™s fare includes two Premier League matches featuring both Manchester clubs and a cast of Fantasy captain candidates.

Events begin at the Etithad where Man Cityโ€™s 100% home record will be tested against a Spurs side thatโ€™s seemingly allergic to goals โ€“ at either end of the pitch.

Andre Villas-Boas side have scored just a single goal in their last three matches but, equally, have conceded just once in their last four league outings. In contrast, goals are flowing with abandon for City and, having scored 20 at the Etihad this term, Manuel Pellegrini will be optimistic on breaching the resolute Spurs defence this afternoon.

That lunchtime encounter is followed by Unitedโ€™s trip to South Wales to face a Cardiff side suffering an alarming slip on form. Three defeats in five will be a concern for Malky Mackay has he prepares his team to face a United outfit looking for their fourth straight league win.

With the likes of Sergio Aguero, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie carrying the armband hopes of many, Sunday is set to have a big impact on our Gameweek tallies.

All the lineup news from todayโ€™s matches will be presented in our Twitter feed via Andyโ€™s typing fingers. Meanwhile, our Dugout Discussion chatrooom is now fully operational and open to receive your real-time reactions.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        Getting a red card doesn't make you go back in time and not score a goal though.

      It doesn't, the human brain is just programmed to notice it when it happens and dismiss it when it doesn't. Boring but true, probably.

    Was wishing I'd captained Suarez.
    Then wished I'd captained Aguero.
    Now wishing I captained Rooney.

    Either way, captaining Barry Ferguson was a bad move.

    I own Rooney but that pisses me off, he shouldn't even be on the field.

    May be a slight exaggeration but a little decision like that could cost Cardiff their place in the Premier League.

      Don't agree. I'm not a Rooney owner but I'd rather see refs reacting like that and booking acts of petulance - It's not like he hurt him so a booking is fine. People are overreacting because they don't have him in FPL
