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.

      He'll get 2 yrs.

      The owners took a punt on him pulling a Fergie and doing well with naff all investment. That doesn't seem to be the case, so they will limp to the end of the season and then give him load of cash in the summer.

      Problem will be if they lose out on the Champions League cash.

      Yes very definitely. Its not enough to say they were champions last year, was very different last year, for starters this season City have a manager that actually seems to know what he's doing. Also I think he played a very smart 1 year gamble with RVP.

    I am sorry, but look at this defending, what is going on?

    No one picks up Cahill, everyone is just ball watching.
    Michael Jackson, for all his grabbing of Etoo achieves nothing.
    Evra just stands there, doesn't even make the jump to deny or block Cahill from getting the header in.
    Jones runs off and leaves the far post to chase after Cahill, but he just makes himself look like an egg running into everyone.

    Could go on, and on, but the only thing letting United down is the terrible defending.
