Sunday’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 City’s 100% home record will be tested against a Spurs side that’s seemingly allergic to goals – 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 United’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 today’s matches will be presented in our Twitter feed via Andy’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.

        not really tho, in some games (im thinkin the suarez one) you can go from all 3 baps to zero an hour after the game...... thus rendering the live element useless

        not a major beef, just summat i think they should hide

      They rarely change significantly, it gives a good indication.

      If you know it can change, why do you care?

      Further, why look & torment yourself?

      Finally, don't you realize that the only score that matters is once the week is finished?

      Agree. I don't think Sandro's OG is correct either. The shot was on target (how could it not be from two yards out) and it hit his legs on the way in. He was practically on the line at the time.

      It's bizarre, defenders are penalised for being in the right place to try to keep goals out and attackers get penalised too.
