A stunning scoreline and performance from Liverpool leads us into six three o’clock kick-offs, before the day draws to a close in South Wales as Swansea clash with Cardiff.

With Arsenal slipping up so spectacularly, it’s over to Man City to see if they can capitalise with three points at Carrow Road. Meanwhile, Chelsea face what looks like a routine home fixture with a beleaguered Newcastle in their effort to boost their title challenge further following Monday night’s epic Etihad victory.

Elsewhere, Southampton will look to build on their flourishing form with three points at St Mary’s with Stoke the visitors. Sunderland will seek to maintain their remarkable recovery under Gus Poyet as they face Hull City. West Ham go to Villa Park without the threat of Andy Carroll in attack, while Tony Pulis hands debuts to three new signings as Palace look to earn another precious home win against the inconsistent Baggies at Selhurst Park.

You can find all the teamsheet news from these matches in our Twitter feed, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is still open and will be available to soak up your real-time reactions right up until the final whistle at the Liberty Stadium this evening.

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

        Statistically speaking he & Suarez are having very similar weeks...
        Each have had 5 shots
        Suarez didn't pass well % wise but, did manage 4 key passes.
        Hazard on the other hand has a great % but, hasn't managed a key pass yet.

              i support mumbai indians in the IPL and have been supporting them from IPL's start
              if i was a "GLORY" hunter i wouldve switched sides and started supporting Chennai SK

              According to your logic if i am a glory hunter so be it
              If i extend your logic around 99% of football watching indians are glory hunters

              Take mark as an example. So your saying i could have controlled Terry, Parr not playing. Mert getting 0, Kolarov and Dzeko were punts fair enough but all indications were they would likely start. Scout picks verified this.
