The Gameweek continues with a pair of Sunday afternoon encounters, beginning with Tottenham’s trip to South Wales as they take on Swansea, before Chelsea and United see us into the Sunday roast with a would-be classic at the Bridge.

Fantasy managers are likely to have plenty invested in today’s matches, with recent differentials Christian Eriksen and Emmanuel Adeabayor on show at the Liberty, while Eden Hazard and Oscar will carry the hopes for many in the 4pm kick-off.

The team news from Swansea finds the home side make just one change: Chico returns to the starting XI and takes his place alongside Ashley Williams, allowing Jordi Amat to shift to midfield to cover for the injured Jose Canas. Tim Sherwood also makes just one change to the Spurs starting lineup that saw off Palace last time out. Roberto Soldado’s season continues to go from bad to worse as he’s dropped to the bench. It’s a 4-5-1 from the visitors, then, as Nacer Chadli is drafted in with Christian Eriksen perhaps set to be pushed up behind Emmanuel Adebayor.

As usual, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to capture the real-time rise and fall in fortunes as today’s matches unfold.

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

          Janujaj might still be good. I'd be surprised if Moyes benched him too much he's been one of their few bright spots this season

      I remember them every time I hear Kagawa's name, which is not often because he plays so little, or when Hazard destroys some defences, which is about every week. I recall debating with some ManU fans who were sure they "dodged the bullet" by managing to not get Hazard, and that Kagawa is more proven to be top class player. They imagined Kagawa as some kind of top of the world playmaker with a crazy shot.

    If United don't score we tie because I don't see Azpi getting goal/assist/baps based on the run of play so far.
