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.

    The extra assist for Aguero takes the price of my vanity punt (Lukaku > Bony (C) -4) to 28 points, given that I would have captained Aguero without it!

        Hahah, one can only laugh. And maybe, possibly, learn πŸ˜†

        See below though, Bony racked up some promising stats while not scoring so I'll give him a few weeks to pay the debt off.

        Lukaku's stats had nosedived, Bony was in the ascendency and I felt like a gamble. Didn't expect to burned to that extent though! πŸ˜†

        I would point out that Bony had the most shots on goal and the most in the box from all yesterday's games. Not sure if he'll be toppled by Kun though.

        It does look that way now but at the time Lukaku looked like deadweight to an awful lot of people and Bony's numbers (not to mention pedigree) we're looking much, much better. Hey ho πŸ˜€
