Dugout Discussion December 21

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

3,335 Comments
Share

As Luis Suarez continues to make football look easy, rendering Fantasy football a simple game in the process, we tot up another ridiculous points haul whilst turning attention to the day’s three o’clock kick-offs.

Six matches follow shortly, including Man United’s attempt to avoid the unthinkable – three consecutive home league defeats. They face shot-shy West Ham at Old Trafford, while the not so shot-shy City take a trip to take on Fulham at the Cottage, without the goal power of Sergio Aguero.

Stoke and Sunderland host Villa and Norwich respectively, while Palace look to continue their recent revival with a Selhurst Park clash with Newcastle. Managerless West Brom round things off as they take on Hull City at the Hawthorns.

Look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news from these encounters, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains ajar for those partial to some real-time reaction.

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