Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Easter Sunday provides a trio of Premier League fixtures that promise to resolve many an unanswered question at the top and bottom of the table.

There’s no doubt that the Carrow Road clash between Norwich and Liverpool is the headline act: while the Canaries are fighting for their lives following Sunderland’s unlikely win at Chelsea, they will face a Liverpool side focused on putting daylight between themselves and the chasing pack at the summit. Luis Suarez arrives in East Anglia having scored consecutive hat-tricks in the fixture in previous seasons and with many a Fantasy armband clasped on his bicep. Neil Adam’s side, meanwhile, have conceded just one goal from open play on home turf since the turn of the year. The statistics and form books may well stand for nothing, however – we’re expecting high drama aplenty from the mid-day kick-off.

That’s followed by a pair of matches that will go a long way to resolve the race for fourth spot. Arsenal visit Hull for a dress rehearsal of their FA Cup final date, followed by United’s trip to Goodison park as Everton look to recover from their midweek slip at the hands of Palace. With an array of Fantasy talent on show, both fixtures are likely to have an impact on our squads and mini-leagues before the Gameweek concludes under the lights of the Etihad tomorrow evening.

As always, you can look our Twitter feed for the latest teamsheet news, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to serve those searching out some real-time interaction.

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

      Seriously though. How much longer will they keep patient with Moyes? I honestly think he`s just about done. There`s been literally no progress or plan in United`s play all season. Spending a hundred million this summer won`t change the fact that David Moyes doesn`t really belong in a championship tier club, imo.

      Well this weekend just sums up the highs and lows of FPL for me perfectly... Last night I was over the moon after completing a sensational comeback on my ML rival, overturning a 120 point deficit. Today he has had sterling and Coleman whilst I have had mata and Flanagan, so demoralising!! Combined with Snodgrass on my bench and me cursing the 0.1 I was short in getting Ramsey in I'm feeling slightly different this evening 🙁

          Just Rooney IMO.

          Norwich are shite and he looked plenty fit and willing.

          Unfortunately for him, he was player for a considerably poorer side so chances were sparse, but i can see him getting decent returns next week.
