Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

The Gameweek continues with a pair of Premier League clashes featuring sides flirting with the top four placings. Southampton and Spurs get things underway at St Mary’s, with just three points separating them in the table. Later this afternoon, Roberto Martinez returns to South Wales, bringing his in-form Everton side to face Michael Laudrup’s Swansea.

The team news from the South Coast brings a few surprises in both lineups as Mauricio Pochettino and Tim Sherwood ring the changes. The Saints make three alterations to the side that won a point at Newcastle as Danny Fox, Adam Lallana and Morgan Schneiderlin are drafted in at the expense of Luke Shaw, James Ward-Prowse and Pablo Osvaldo; Shaw’s absence is reportedly due to illness.

Spurs make no less than six changes to the lineup that was routed by Liverpool, as Sherwood hands a first league start to Emmanuel Adebayor and recalls Christian Eriksen to his midfield. Danny Rose returns at left-back, with Vlad Chiriches also starting in defence, whilst in the wide roles, Gylfi Sigurdsson makes a return and Erik Lamela is on the opposite flank in what appears to be an attacking 4-4-2.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to soak up your real-time reactions from this match and today’s late kick-off at Swansea.

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

    Do I keep Lukaku or bring in Negredo for City cover?

    Both have good fixtures.

    Already have Zaba and Coleman.

    Is everyone else considering holding their Jan WC until Aguero returns/very end of January?

    I'm pretty comfortable with my current roster; so I'm not in huge need of it. Aguero will shake my roster to a huge degree.
