Unfortunately for many of us out there the clocks only went back by one hour last night, and not twenty-four. There’s no chance to reverse any of those duff decisions made so fantasy managers can only move forward with an early kick-off – to prevent any of that rabble rousing malarkey – in the Birmingham derby. The teams are in and are as follows…

Aston Villa XI: Friedel; Luke Young, Dunne, Clark, Collins, Warnock; A Young, Reo-Coker, Sidwell, Downing; Heskey.

Birmingham XI: Foster; Carr, Johnson, Ridgewell, Dann;, Larsson, Gardner, Ferguson, Fahey, Hleb; Zigic

As this non-televised game draws to a close we head northward bound for another derby, this time up at St. James’ Park as the Tyne and Wear sides to pit their wits against each other. Can Steve Bruce topple the club he supports? Finally today, Bolton will be welcoming Roy Hodgson’s men to the Reebok Stadium as Liverpool look to build on their victory against Blackburn last week.

All of this can be dissected through the day by you and your like minded managers here and in the now open Dugout Discussion.

    this is not another RMT

    Given that Newcastle scored five goals today and had kept a shut out (till the 90th minute) how does this affect fabregas and arsenal is it going to be a reverse of Arsenal 5-1 NU FC or are u guys expecting arsenal to score more than two goals (does this fixture still make Fabs the no 1 captain choice )

    Although he's the second highest forward point scorer and I've had him in my team since GW 1, Berbatov has been dissapinting for the last 5 weeks (2,2,7,2,2). I think I'll keep him for the home game against Wolves next week but I might have to ship him after that, even with Rooney out for 5 weeks.

    But who to bring in? Anelka seems steady but unexciting and I already have Drogba, the Arsenal forwards are often eclipsed by their midfield, I'm not seeing a natural stand in for Tevez at City, Torrez can't be arsed, and Spurs are playing VDV up front. Does anyone have any thoughts about who's looking good in a couple of weeks time... Perhaps returning from injury or due a purple patch?

    Hernandez? Or how is RVP getting on?
