Sunday’s Dugout Discussion

A game being billed as the most important Merseyside derby in years kicks off a double bill of Sunday afternoon fixtures. NESV-owned Liverpool travel up the road to city rivals Everton, with both sides looking for only their second win of the campaign.

Everton will already be confident of inflicting defeat on their arch-rivals for the first time in the league for over four years, but that confidence will be bolstered with the team news. Jamie Carragher fills in at right-back for the injured Glen Johnson, Steven Gerrard partners Lucas Leiva in defensive midfield and Phil Jagielka passes a late fitness test to play…

Everton XI: Howard, Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Heitinga, Arteta, Osman, Cahill, Yakubu

Liverpool XI: Reina, Carragher, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Konchesky, Gerrard, Lucas, Meireles, Cole, Maxi, Torres

The final game of the day sees Manchester City visit Bloomfield Road, with most fantasy-managers praying for contrasting returns for a certain Argentinian. That game kicks off at 4pm.

The Dugout Discussion is open as usual and is awaiting your participation.

    That is as much an assist as Gareth Bale's yesterday.

          As I said a few posts up. This was my same transfer to get Fabregas in for Gerrard. Because of him not being fit I instead made no transfers. That is going to haunt me!

            Just in general pal, not just in this game. It's the niggly stuff that he's not consistent on. Just the way he tries to joke with clearly frustrated players, he's like some sort of celeb now.
