Sunday’s Dugout Discussion

Filed under: Site Features - Posted by: Mark

Spurs and Everton get our Sunday started down at the Lane with a 1pm kick-off, followed by Liverpool vs Blackburn and Sunderland vs Fulham at three. Around all that, we also have the largely academic Carling Cup Final to absorb.

Early team news from the Lane finds Redknapp starting with Pavlyuchenko and Defoe up front. Modric and Kranjcar both start in midfield and Bassong comes in for the injured Ledley King. Bale keeps Assou-Ekotto warming the bench. As for Everton, Anichebe and Rodwell both get starts with Saha strangely “not in the squad”. and Donovan benched. Yobo and Jagielka help to make Everton’s bench recognisable again as Distin and Heintinga take up the centre-back roles.

The Dugout Discussion live chatroom is now open to capture your Sunday best.

“Robert hasn't touched him. The player tries to get him sent off. It's a disease that's creeping into the game.”

Tony Pulis laments the referee's decision to send off Robert Huth against Sunderland
