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.

    Imagine a world where people cared as much about 'fake' football assist as they did about shit that actually mattered?

        Hey, we're all here bc this adds a layer of enjoyment to the football but, that's just it.
        It's an effing game!

        When grown-ass men start crying & truly getting offended by something as silly as this?

        I wonder how they act in the real world when things go awry...

        Mate, love fake football. Helps me keep in touch with people all round the world I've met traveling.

        I'm a proudly a geek & here for fun!

        That said, if you're not here for fun; you have to ask yourself what are you doing?

        Surely, there's something on the weekend you'll truly enjoy?

            Hey, bitching & gloating is part of it.

            However, when it spirals into personal slights from what appear to be grown men:

            "Anyone that thinks/hopes otherwise is stupid."

            "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."

            That's when I get sad thinking that they don't realise this is a game & in the grand scheme of things just dosn't matter.

            Why I said "Call Your Mum"!

      Aguero just needs a goal to probably beat Suarez points

      Relax

      Rebounds
      If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded.
