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.

    I'd have thought one of the admins will be removing posts next time before a ball has even been kicked, there was a lot of false information with nothing backing it up before this weeks fixtures. With people saying Aguero is out and newspapers dont have him in any of their teams. I was sat on Aguero as (c) for 1-2 weeks through the international break, only to change it to Suarez at about 11:00am Saturday morning. I did so because of the information being posted here page after page. It hasn't hurt me that bad, but I think it would be wise for someone to start and remove these troublesome potentially gameweek breaking posts. You should only post team news, if you have solid information to back it up.

    Thanks.

      So United

      Fixtures after Spurs (ahem, I know) are about as good as they get ...

      EVE,NEW,avl,WHM,hul,nor

      But to cover only real options are Rooney (sits deep for me and not the best stats and now the threat if rest) and RVP (silly money, injury niggles) also striker positions are taken already by other good options

      Who else though ? They are such a team built round the strikers

      Maybe differential like Rafael , or just Rooney to cover

Feeling very sorry for myself, getting torn apart in my works league, with only 1 of the other 10 players having played before.

                      Nasris 2nd goal looks to have taken the 3 BAPs from Aguero.
                      Once his assist is credited is that enough swing to give him the 3 BAPs?

                      This is enough for me to win the top team this week in works ML

                        Navas will be ahead by 1BPS before adjustments (assuming assist and Navas getting "winning" goal BPS)

                        Navas you mean. If no points are deducted, then Navas gets the 3 points.

                      I am worried about Kun assist. Yesterday we all were sure Barkley would get his one :/

                        As a non Aguero owner I can say 100% he will get it

                        No-one was sure about Barkley - he didn't touch it. Completely different situation. Aguero will get it.
