Settle down, we’ve no less than three Premier League encounters to take us into Antiques Roadshow, with Fantasy points hopefully continuing to flow following yesterday’s drama. We’ve opened our Dugout Discussion chatroom to capture the real-time chatter, just in time for our first kick-off at Anfield, as Liverpool face the Gunners. Full line-ups here are…

Liverpool XI: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Allen, Sahin, Gerrard, Sterling, Borini, Suarez.
Substitutes: Jones, Carragher, Shelvey, Downing, Henderson, Kelly, Coates.

Arsenal XI: Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Cazorla, Arteta, Diaby, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud, Podolski.
Substitutes: Koscielny, Martinez, Santos, Ramsey, Coquelin, Gervinho, Walcott.

Later today, we’re treated to Newcastle vs Villa and Southampton vs United at St Mary’s. With Carlos Tevez delivering on his captaincy promised yesterday, all eyes will now be on Robin Van Persie as he takes on the Saints as United’s chief goal threat in the absence of the injured Wayne Rooney.

Enjoy today’s games, we’ll see you on the other side with the Stock Check…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Whats the crack with Ade - why didnt he start?

    Is it worth swapping him of Podolski? I have RVP and Tevez.

      Fabio is the biggest pile of sh*t I've witnessed (live and FPL wise).

      Zaba is a rotation risk with Maicon.

      RVP has always been essential. Kagawa I ain't too convinced about..

    Already have Michu and Hazard in there, tevez and RVP up front and I'm covered for man u/ chelsea/man c defense.

    Was looking at Kagawa put he doesn't seem to be performing, Nasri is too much of a rotation risk. Am I just doomed to take Cazorla??

    I win because:
    ● My BAE got 2 whilst his Rafael got 1
    ● My Pienaar got 2 whilst his Fellaini got 1
    ● Forca took a 4 point hit
