Sunday’s Dugout Discussion

After a reasonably low-scoring Saturday (for me at least), we have three remaining Sunday afternoon fixtures to increase our tallies. And with the four most selected captains in action today, according to our poll, we have every chance.

The first of two televised games sees Roberto’s Mancini’s Manchester City play host to Newcastle United. The headline team news for the 1:30pm game is that Newcastle leave striker, and fantasy favourite, Andy Carroll on the bench for the first time this season. For Man City, Jerome Boateng starts his first league game and Adam Johnson is once again on the bench, despite scoring mid-week…

Man City: Hart, Boateng, Toure, Kompany, Lescott, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Toure Yaya, Milner, Tevez

Newcastle: Krul, Perch, Williamson, Coloccini, Jose Enrique, Ben Arfa, Nolan, Tiote, Barton, Gutierrez, Ameobi

Then, on the other channel, Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea at 4pm, where both clubs are looking to bounce back from defeats last week. Elsewhere, and not on the box, 18th-placed Liverpool take on 16th-placed Blackpool at 3pm.

As always, the Dugout Discussion will be with you throughout the day. Enjoy.

    Last three gameweeks everyone has been wringing their hands and lamenting their woes on a Saturday, then full of beans on a Sunday. Lets all resolve to not be moaning little whiners until after a gameweek has ended shall we? 🙂

    Are we looking at the same Ramires who played against Man City last week? He's fighting like there's no tomorrow.

    Gerrard experiment over Bale will come out even next week.

    Liverpool fail.
    Arsenal will score yet, they have been the better side despite missing their 3 best players. Most be frustrating to be a fan watching them control Chelsea again and then not take their chances.
