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.

          With the amount of money you have in attack it's inevitable your defense will be quite weak. There are cheap players like gabbidon that will return points though.

          Yaya could be facing a ban so he should make way for hazard

      Ricky van Wolfswinkel is an angry young man. He believes that Yaya Toure has deliberately wedged a knee in his back while he is prone on the floor. He has a case. It looks like the Ivorian knew exactly what he was doing. No card though.

    Why didnt I realise Swansea are shite and play Marshall?! Bloody GK rotation with Mannone isnt working, looking like 2 consecutive CS on my bench - cannot see Swansea and Super Emnes scoring

    And feck you M.Olsson. Logic never works in this game it seems...

      He kicked someone when they were down. I'd be very surprised if he got banned. It's unclear if it was deliberate. Everyone hates him so take all the talk with a pinch of salt

      Read above. He kicked the Wolfman in the back and the officials didn't see it.
