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.

    Instead of fining / banning players for committing those types of fouls - the fouling player should pay the injured players wages during the duration of their layoff. That'll learn em!

      good point attila but also be banned from playing themselves for the duration of the injured players absence if deemed an intentionally bad tackle. recklessness is different from intentional harm.

      If memory serves me. The Bundesliga were considering banning a player for the length of an injury committed by them.

          I can count to two - obviously the Edinburgh education does not reach those dizzy heights. The first foot hit the ball the second snapped Ben Arfa's ankle.

            2nd foot was the follow through, two footed is leading with both feet. I'm not saying it was a great tackle, but those tackles are seen all of the time, too much is being made of it.
