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.

      Same. Although captaining Hazard is basically the only thing I have done right this week. Atm he's accounting for 36 of my 52 points.

      well done. I have the exact opposite feeling however.
      I was feeling smug at half time. I had transferred Merts out for Ivanovic this morning.
      Only to discover 10 mins ago when I went on the FPL site that he ivan is on my bench.
      I had swapped Coleman for Ivanovic but must have forgotten to press confirm.
      GUTTED!!!
