Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

The Gameweek continues with a batch of three o’clock kick-offs, as Fantasy managers switch their sights to venues such as Old Trafford, St Marys and Upton Park.

United are backed for a big home win, with opponents Palace slipping down the table at pace and with skipper Mile Jedinak in the stands. Louis van Gaal’s side are likely to go on the attack given their injuries at the back, with many Fantasy managers anticipating and hoping for big returns from Angel di Maria.

Southampton’s meeting with Leicester looks equally one-sided: the Saints are the form team from back to front in the Premier League, while Leicester, like Palace, are looking to halt an alarming run of form. Graziano Pelle and Dusan Tadic are the headline makers in waiting in this one.

Expectations are also high down in East London, where a vibrant West Ham side take on Paul Lambert’s Villa, with the midlands outfit on a run of six straight defeats. Both Diafra Sakho and Stewart Downing carry increased ownership going into today’s kick-off as Fantasy mangers wake up to the potential on show within the Hammers squad.

Elsewhere, Burnley face Hull in a crucial home encounter for Sean Dyche’s men and, later this evening, champions City make the trip to Loftus Road with Sergio Aguero sporting the armband for so many.

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