Sunday Dugout Discussion

With Gareth Bale and Michu tearing up defences and delivering big returns from Saturday’s matches, there’s much anticipation ahead of Sunday’s programme. While Aston Villa’s clash with West Ham seems likely to be an edgy battle of attrition, the Old Trafford clash between United and Everton looks to have a lot going for it. Sir Alex Ferguson’s teamsheet will be of keen interest in that one, while the Toffees will be looking to repeat last season’s thrilling 4-4 draw and perhaps keep the title race interesting.

The early team news is in and sees Paul Lambert make three changes to the Villa XI, with Nathan Baker, Fabian Delph and Jordan Bowery replacing Joe Bennett, Karim El Ahmadi and Gabby Agbonlahor.

For the Hammers, Joe Cole and Emanuel Pogatetz come in for Matt Jarvis and Ricardo Vaz Te; Guy Demel is on the bench.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to provide a backdrop to the day’s action.

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

    or
    Guthrie Sturridge -> Ben Arfa Pogre -4. (field 11)
    or
    Davies -> Zaba (field 11 if Guthrie starts)

    and is GW 29 a sure blank for Chelsea Fulham Everton Arsenal now?

        Michu to Bale and Sturridge to a 6.1 or lower is my current thought. Have been considering Anichebe as a cheap 3rd striker for a while so gonna watch him play today and judge.

      Agreed.

      What do you think of the second spurs assist? It looks like it might hit off Adebayor. I tried to see who hit the original ball but there's no camera angle that makes it clear.

      Come on Benteke (anytime goalscorer)

      Then everyone else to finish with as many minus points as possible. Own goals are encouraged, extra credit is given for creativity. Please see the Gareth Barry example from yesterday if you are unclear about the instructions.
