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.

    Really want to get Aguero but I got Rooney at 10,5M, Sturridge at 9M
    Do you think Aguero is worth 1,4M more than Rooney & 2,9M than Sturridge now with their fixtures coming to September rotation nightmare?

    Aguero is killing me every week but if Silva is back i can get him easily (3 big hitters at Mid now with my front line)

      Aguero and Suarez are must haves. Then look for a big hitting 3rd striker, Bony/Lukaku/Rooney depending on funds and what you want to do with the rest of your team.

      If they are all scoring then why do you need one over the other. Suarez is probably the one everyone should have, and then it's a matter of choice.
