Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Hull City v Manchester City

After last week’s reduced fixture list we are back to a full schedule of games for Gameweek 30. The action starts at the KC Stadium where Hull City square up to Manchester City, who will be looking to bounce back after their Champions League exit in midweek.

Today’s match is the first of three that City have in hand over their title rivals Chelsea and a victory is vital if they hope to catch Jose Mourinho’s charges. Going into the match just five points outside of the relegation zone, Steve Bruce’s Hull will be looking for a strong finish to the season to ensure they avoid being dragged into a relegation dog fight.

Our Twitter feed offers up all the news from today’s teamsheets, while those wishing to indulge in some real-time exchange of views can do so via our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

            Fingers crossed, we've been a bit of a rollercoaster team this year 🙁

            Oh well, can't win it all the time I suppose 😉

      Probably buying Nasri too, but the S&S combo is first choice for me.

          Could not agree more. Quite daft for him to start ahead of Negredo. Saying this as he just scores haha!

    So people are disappointed that Yaya got 6 despite being in a team with 10 men, a niggling injury and having to drop much deeper?

    Might just flog Punch anyway, Noone is 4.3, perfect bench fodder material and keeping Punch for his DGW means I'd end up benching Hazard anyway.
