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.

    Best replacement for Walker? 6.6m to spend and I currently have Coleman, Chico, Chester & B.Turner.

    Alternatively I could just keep Walker & save the transfer. Terry is my current fancy.

      I just did Rafael-> Terry but will be turfing Walker soon too. My reasoning is that after United he has some matches they could keep a cleanie in.

      I have said it before, I will say it again, Cleverley is either a bottom table PL or a Championship player. Works hard but just not good enough for Man U. Fellaini I won't get into, as bad a buy as Ashley Young.

      Fellaini is particularly great in breaking up play,recycling possession or creating chances. The only thing he is quite good at as is aerial duels, but a no10 in that mould is obviously of no use to a team in the champions league - which is why he should be a mid table player and thats all...

      It's a tough issue, I think he is but I can see why others would want to turf. I think, with Wally back, he may begin producing more. Giroud I do not see as a good enough striker for Ozil's output, if they sign someone else in January he could really notch a good few points. As of now I'm 50/50.

      No. I'm downgrading him as part of my route to getting Aguero.

      He seems to be a bit like Cazorla last season - go on a run of 2s and 3s, then explode for a couple of weeks.

      If I wanted that, I'd just get Cazorla for a million less.

    My team for the next gw looks like this:

    Begovic
    Terry, Johnson, Rat
    Ramsey, Coutinho, Morrison, Hazard
    Aguero, Suarez, Benteke

    subs: Harper, Januzaj, Clyne, Rat
    1.0 ITB, 2 FT

    Any ideas how to improve team with free transfers? tempted to do Rat or Clyne -> Mertesacker
    but then I would have empty bank for improvements in front 8 :/

    Please, give your suggestions! Thanks in advance guys

      Your team looks good. Use 1 transfer to upgrade keeper or change januzaj if you want. Save the other.
