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.

      No he shouldn't, get a grip. I've got Lallana and I can let it go.

      He didn't "earn" the free kick, Adam moved his hand into the ball of his own free will.

        So you don't think "Free kick instigated by forced handball" describes the goal?

        Did he deliberately try to handball it to block the ball coz that's the only way I can see that description doesn't fit?

          I think that's pushing it. If we're going to get literal and philosophical, Adam touched the ball after Lallana did.

          Did I mention that he's my captain, and the 6pts for his assist might be all I need to secure my Fantasy Cup survival? It's not going to happen though.

        You either follow the rules or you make it up as you go along with some notion of fairness.
