Sunday’s Dugout Discussion
Filed under: Premier League Fixtures, Team News - Posted by: Akers
There are three games served up today in the Premier League. Later, Blackburn host Chelsea, with most fantasy managers hoping for a strong return after stocking up on Chelsea (and Blackburn?) players with a double gameweek. Manchester City travel to Craven Cottage for their first of two fixtures this gameweek. Before all that though is the showdown between Manchester United and Liverpool.
United start with Rooney as the lone forward, with support from Nani and Valencia either side. Rafa Benitez’s men stick with the two holding midfielders in Lucas and Mascherano, with Gerrard playing behind Torres.
The Dugout Discussion chat room is open for business and will remain so throughout the day.
