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.

    Every time i take hits I get a green arrow. This week, i thought, no hits, after 8-4-8, a hit would have been hazard in, but everyone in my forward line gets another week instead. 28 with 4 to play is not very good.

    Current:
    Boruc (Springthorpe)
    Fonte, Bardsley, Coleman, Mertesacker, (Bennett)
    Mata, Hazard, Eriksen, Silva, AJ
    Suarez, Adebayor, Benteke

    So far this week only Hazard (C) has kept my score respectable.
    Looking to get rid of both Sunderland players:
    was thinking a straight swap of Sterling and Ivanovic in for AJ and Bardsley.
    Also keen on getting Nolan in but it would involve an extra hit to free up some cash for it.

    Decisions, decisions

    Not sure if this has been posted yet but this is what Mourinho had to say about JT missing out today

    It's not an injury, it's almost an injury. 'We had a decision to make and the player didn't play. We were aware Newcastle had bigger problems than us so we decided not to risk him and protect him. Hopefully he will be ready for Tuesday.
