Dugout Discussion

Sunday Dugout Discussion

Sunday delivers a double header of lip-smacking ties, as old rivals United and Liverpool clash at Old Trafford, whilst Arsenal host City in the four o’clock kick-off. With a host of big Fantasy assets on show, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to catch the real-time yelps and cries as events unfold.

The team news for the lunchtime kick-off finds Sir Alex Ferguson opting for the experienced pairing of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand at the back, with Jonny Evans reportedly missing out with a hamstring problem. Elsewhere in the United lineup, Danny Welbeck is drafted in, along with Shinji Kagawa as Antonio Valencia and the rather unfortunate Javier Hernandez drop to the bench.

Visitors Liverpool make just one change: Joe Allen comes into the midfield with Jordan Henderson dropping out. Andre Wisdom again occupies the right-back role, then, with Glen Johnson deployed at left-back. Both Daniel Sturridge and the returning Fabio Borini find places on the bench.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Not at all. Very harsh red. Can certainly make the case for a red, but if that red then Whatshisname should have walked for the felling of Welbeck too, which arguably was in a better position to score than Dzeko would have been.

        I prefer the respect the players get in the BDO.
        Proper darts fans.
        Not the tossers who go to the PDC just so they can go "do do do do"

        Like watching darts combined with a football match.
        Admittedly better players but the standard in the BDO has been high this year.

    Well, the plan was Luiz > Gibbs but with Kompany out, maybe I need to do Zabaleta > Gibbs instead? Or maybe just not bother with Gibbs at all ...
