Tuesday’s Dugout Discussion
Filed under: Site Features - Posted by: Mark
The gameweek is brought to an end at Old Trafford tonight when Wayne Rooney will be expected to produce a performance to repay the faith of his many Fantasy Premier League owners. Rooney lines up against a West Ham side as Ferguson’s men look to bounce back from the 3-1 Goodison reverse.
The team news finds Rooney reassuringly in place up front with Berbatov once again. There are changes elsewhere though no doubt with Sunday’s Carling final in mind. Vidic returns to the defence in place of Evans, meaning that Brown keeps his place along with Neville at right-back. Ferdinand doesn’t make the bench despite returning from his ban. Even more suprisingly Ferguson goes with Foster in goal and Anderson and Gibson in midfield. Van der Sar, Carrick, Fletcher and Park all make way then. As for the Hammers – it’s just one change with Mark Noble coming in for the suspension tightrope walking Parker.
Tonight’s Dugout Discussion is now open in our live chatroom. Get over there now and start celebrating or mourning your Rooney armband.

“Alex Chamberlain played three games for the first time in his career. He had a stiff neck at half-time, so I did not want to take a gamble with him. Then we had a problem with Koscielny, and I wanted to give some playing time to Benayoun.”
Arsene Wenger explains why Van Persie wasn't substituted in the 7-1 win over Blackburn following pre-game talk of the Dutch hitman needing rest
