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.
