The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

An inauspicious start at Old Trafford leads us into four more Premier League encounters, with all three promoted sides in action.

Bournemouth host Aston Villa at “Vitality Stadium” (no really), Norwich take on Alan Pardew’s emerging Palace lineup at Carrow Road, while Watford make the testing trip to Goodison Park to face Everton.

Leicester and Sunderland complete the quartet, with Claudio Ranieri making his Premier League return in the Foxes hot-seat as he locks horns with Black Cats boss, Dick Advocaat.

These four matches are followed by the late kick-off at Stamford Bridge as champions Chelsea open their account against Garry Monk’s Swansea.

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

    Watford looks great! just don't know because Everton were their opponents or what...They look like who can avoid Relegation

                Bournemouth i think will be okay. I also expect Sunderland to get there act together and finish like 14th. I think Villa, Norwich and Watford go down.

              I'm amazed SO MANY people have Saturday only players in their teams.

              Sheesh, a whole new set of fixtures tomorrow/Monday to get your hopes up.

                Wlson was Ok, was through on goal but saved also had a shot cleared off the line. Sinclair didn't do anything

                As a non captainer, assist to an own goal will do nicely...again.

                Their manager is Mourinho, if they get 1 up, that will do nicely.

                That's my aim every week. I think you need about 52 on average to get 2000pts in total which is my target. Reached it 2 years running now.
