Sunday Dugout Discussion

Yet again both Manchester clubs in are involved in Sunday Premier League action. With most fantasy managers cheering on their captain today, the Dugout Discussion opens to follow all the action from the three games on show.

We start at Old Trafford as United look to open up an eight point gap with a victory against Everton. The team news from the match-up is in, and the sides line-up as follows…

Man United XI: De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Scholes, Carrick, Nani, Rooney, Welbeck.

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Neville, Osman, Heitinga, Gibson, Pienaar, Fellaini, Jelavic.

Nani returns to United’s starting eleven for the first time in eight games, with Ashley Young taking his place on the substitutes bench. Facing his former employer, Darron Gibson starts for Everton.

Then it’s over to bottom of the league Wolves, where City are in town needing three points regardless of the earlier result. Kicking off at the same time, Liverpool and West Brom are also in action, with Roy Hodgson back at Anfield for the first time since departing as Liverpool manager.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

      Wasn't your decisions. It was how it panned out. Rooneynwas the right player to take out but he scored 2 unlikely goals against his old club. And wolves should have ended at least 4-0

        Unlikely?! Is there something specific about the way that Everton defned that nullifies Rooney's threat? Or is it just a statistical quirk that he doesn't have a great record v Everton? Plus the fact that he rarely plays them at Goodison.

        HBA or Pienaar, in your opinion? And do you think someone should have 3 DGW defenders and compromise 1 DGW midfielder or 4 DGW mids and compromise one on the defence?

          I don't think HBA and Cisse is a good idea due to their fixtures in 37 and 38, not easy.

          And personally in defence I'm playing Caulker and 2 DGWers, Swansea home to wolves looks like an easy 6 points, they're already relegated..
