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.

    My team for this week:

    CECH
    HIBBERT / Vermaelen / Caulker
    VDV / BALE / DEMPSEY / Siggy
    CISSE / JELAVIC / Aguero

    Mignolet / Sess / Evans / Baines

    Is Baines to Walker worth a 4pt hit? And also if I do loose Baines is Sess to Pineaar worth getting for a 4pt hit but having to drop Siggy (also im taking into account that I don't really want to play Siggy or Sess in the final two GW's?

        If you have an important mini league and you're ahead with not many gameweeks left, surely it's better to have pretty much the same team as your rival to guarantee you win.
