With Gareth Bale and Michu tearing up defences and delivering big returns from Saturday’s matches, there’s much anticipation ahead of Sunday’s programme. While Aston Villa’s clash with West Ham seems likely to be an edgy battle of attrition, the Old Trafford clash between United and Everton looks to have a lot going for it. Sir Alex Ferguson’s teamsheet will be of keen interest in that one, while the Toffees will be looking to repeat last season’s thrilling 4-4 draw and perhaps keep the title race interesting.

The early team news is in and sees Paul Lambert make three changes to the Villa XI, with Nathan Baker, Fabian Delph and Jordan Bowery replacing Joe Bennett, Karim El Ahmadi and Gabby Agbonlahor.

For the Hammers, Joe Cole and Emanuel Pogatetz come in for Matt Jarvis and Ricardo Vaz Te; Guy Demel is on the bench.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to provide a backdrop to the day’s action.

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

          He also made a number of tackles & good crosses.

          At the start be very cautious till you get to lvl6, this is when you get your ultimate ability. Then after that just make sure you get the right items, focusing on the fact that you are either a agility, strength or intelligence unit and build appropriately.

          Its quite a simple game really, but knowing all the permutations of characters vs character fights is highly useful, weaknesses strengths etc. So apart from playing as drow or zeus which are easy to play, and make it simple to learn the game, randoming your character is not a bad idea.
