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.

      Well he brought us 10 pts last week. That is it. Definitely selling him this week for Che defender. On the other hand be happy we didn't go Wes Brown. That would have been disaster. if Bard wasn't tempting with attacking threat me/ we would have gone Wes surely

    Hazard established himself as a (c) choice now. I used to avoid him because he blanks often but it seems Mou has instructed him to shoot more and get more involved.

    It was still a risk to remove armband from our Luis. Liverpool did score 5 today so it could easily have turned out different. That away game at spurs always stops me from changing it. Well done to those that did.

              If that's what you think then it's a good move. But there no history or evidence to suggest that as far as I'm aware so it's an unnecessary gamble imo.

          No he didn't suck, only from an fpl point of view. He was still solid, though lacking a bit of flair as he's been playing injured all season. Now he's recovered he's even more nailed in that role.

            He's been good of late, though still hasn't any sort of consistency proven. BR's stated his love for Enrique so there's no doubt he'll be preferred over Flano, but whether Cissokho is or not is another issue. Flano could go LB for a while but it's all a bit uncertain, massive rotation risk would always be looming.

          See the above discussion for Flano. I don't know how nailed Demel is but Flanao may only have one more game then lose his spot, and now's not the time to be bringing in uncertainties when the DGW and Blanks are about.
