Sunday’s fare includes two Premier League matches featuring both Manchester clubs and a cast of Fantasy captain candidates.

Events begin at the Etithad where Man City’s 100% home record will be tested against a Spurs side that’s seemingly allergic to goals – at either end of the pitch.

Andre Villas-Boas side have scored just a single goal in their last three matches but, equally, have conceded just once in their last four league outings. In contrast, goals are flowing with abandon for City and, having scored 20 at the Etihad this term, Manuel Pellegrini will be optimistic on breaching the resolute Spurs defence this afternoon.

That lunchtime encounter is followed by United’s trip to South Wales to face a Cardiff side suffering an alarming slip on form. Three defeats in five will be a concern for Malky Mackay has he prepares his team to face a United outfit looking for their fourth straight league win.

With the likes of Sergio Aguero, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie carrying the armband hopes of many, Sunday is set to have a big impact on our Gameweek tallies.

All the lineup news from today’s matches will be presented in our Twitter feed via Andy’s typing fingers. Meanwhile, our Dugout Discussion chatrooom is now fully operational and open to receive your real-time reactions.

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

    How is that not an assist for Aguero but Hazard's is? They need to go back to the old rules.

      Hey, wasn't around yesterday... & didn't see the original play.

      What's the deal with the Baines 'assist'?

      *Note, I'm not bitching because, I can't stand that around here.
      Just curious about the play...

        Baines put a free kick into the box, Skrtel headed it and it fell to Mirallas. The destination of the ball was altered so no assist

        I honestly think every time we have one of this stupid assist debates that we should have a hot topic and all the repetitive posts about it not in the hot topic should just be directed there and deleted.

                  LOL they can post what they like. If they break the T&C the mods will deal with that. You don't have to be a moron though. If you don't like what you're reading then go away and shut up about it.
