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.

        Guys, could do with a bit of help. I think I need to find a way of getting Aguero into my team. This seems like the best solution.

        Aguero & Ward in for Rooney & Dawson for -4

        Would you do this?

            Suarez if your planning a long term move. Aguero for me has never been someone who is ever present - he just comes in for a good run of fixtures.

          Will Ross Barkley be the FF equivalent of Wilshere (of old) and Modric or will he eventually be a points hitter? Not in terms of style of play but more that he can be very influential in games but not hitting those assist and goal points enough ?

            2 goals + 2 assists in 12 gws ain't bad, though I think he'll get better but never be a big hitter...

            Plays a bit higher up the pitch than Modric and WIlshere (usually) so he should come across more chances than those two... he'll score well for the price

          It is now my mission to make sure that I finish above Jonty overall in FPL.

          He only pipes up when he does well and loves to boast about having such a casual team.

          Annoys the hell out of me.

          6.6m to spend. Don't think I own anyone else who will be suggested so I won't list them 🙂

          For the 1st time in a while looking at my team for next week I'm actually happy with it and can't see any transfers to be made, also helps having the obvious captain choice with Suarez.

          I was set on A before this week but looking at fixtures I am now considering the second option- Is there a clear better option or just simply a judgement call?

          A. Baines + Giroud -> Mert + Suarez
          B. Baines + Benteke -> Johnson/Any non Arsenal defender + Suarez
