Wipe the sleep away from your eyes ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got an early morning one for you this Sunday as the big derby game of Bolton playing host to Manchester United kicks off at noon. Mark and Granville already postulated in this week’s Scoutcast and we can’t quite work out the need for the early kick off, but here it is all the same.
The sides are pretty much as to be expected with Jussi Jääskeläinen returning from his three game suspension to take his place in-between the sticks once more whilst Manchester United send out an unchanged side from that which beat Liverpool last week…
Bolton XI: Jääskeläinen; Steinsson, Ricketts, Knight, Robinson; Lee, Holden, Muamba, Petrov; K. Davies, Elmander
Man Utd XI: Van Der Sar; O’Shea, Vidic, Evans, Evra; Nani, Fletcher, Scholes, Giggs; Berbatov, Rooney
Then if you’re based on British shores the kind folks at Sky have gone and done wives across the nations no favours at all by making their Sports service free to all for the day. They certainly chose to save the best fixtures for such an occasion, as Wolves play host to Aston Villa and Newcastle welcome Stoke to round out our gameweek. Oh well, never look a gift horse in the mouth.
The Dugout Discussion is open for business for all of you to wake up in unison to the revelry that ensues with today’s fantasy football action.
