Dugout Discussion

Saturday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 9

A chilly Saturday afternoon greets the start of Gameweek nine, as twelve Premier League sides do battle once more. The Dugout Discussion opens it’s doors, in time for the early kick-off at Villa Park between Aston Villa and Norwich City. The team news is in, and is as follows…

Villa XI: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Bennett, El Ahmadi, Delph, Herd, Albrighton, Holman, Agbonlahor, Benteke.

Norwich XI: Ruddy, R. Martin, Bassong, Turner, Garrido, Johnson, Tettey, E. Bennett, Pilkington, Hoolahan, Holt.

Paul Lambert makes three changes to his team, as he seeks victory over his former employers. Christian Benteke, Marc Albrighton and Chris Herd come in, with Darren Bent, Stephen Ireland and Nathan Baker making way.

After his sides impressive victory over Arsenal last week, Chris Hughton names the same starting eleven that earned those three points.

We’ve then got dose of four 3p.m. games, before the Champions see us out this evening against Swansea. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

    Playing Schwarzer over Mignolet really shouldn't have happened. Stoke v Sunderland was always going to be a low scoring affair.

      That would be great, all I know is this from ESPN:

      Goal! Reading 3, Fulham 3. Hal Robson-Kanu (Reading) left footed shot from very close range to the bottom right corner following a set piece situation.

      I'd prefer Berbatov (I actually got him over Crouch this week despite fixtures - not just saying that because Berbatov scored)
      With Ruiz back now Berbatov is a much better prospect than he was with Rodallega up front.
