Saturday Dugout Discussion

Packed with eight Premier League fixtures, it goes without saying that today is massive for us fantasy managers. First we’re off to back off to Villa Park for Aston Villa’s game against Arsenal, and there is some interesting team news…

Two-time Premier League winner with Arsenal, Robert Pires starts for Aston Villa against his old club. John Carew also makes a comeback to the starting line-up as predicted.

The visitors are of course without their captain Cesc Fabregas, and Robin van Persie still isn’t deemed fit enough to start. Tomas Rosicky comes in, but Theo Walcott only has a place on the bench.

Here are the line-ups in full…

Aston Villa XI: Friedel, Luke Young, Dunne, Collins, Warnock, Ashley Young, Clark, Bannan, Downing, Pires, Carew

Arsenal XI: Fabianski, Sagna, Squillaci, Koscielny, Clichy, Rosicky, Song, Wilshere, Nasri, Chamakh, Arshavin

Then, with no evening fixture, we have seven 3pm games to keep us occupied. Possibly the most highly anticipated game today is Bolton Wanderers Vs. Blackpool. Crazy. Elsewhere, joint-top-of-the-table Manchester United host Blackburn Rovers, West Brom travel to Goodison Park, Fulham face Birmingham City, Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City are at the Britannia Stadium, Wolves host Sunderland and Upton Park sees West Ham and Wigan Athletic battle it out.

It’s going to be manic, but if that’s your thing then come and enter our Dugout Discussion which is now open, and will remain so until those pesky bonus points are handed out.

        Aint going to happen chaps... Boro game is going ahead today..

        BBC Tees reports that Middlesbrough's game with Hull should go ahead as approaches to the Riverside Stadium have been cleared and gritted, and the pitch has under-soil heating.

    villa seem to be trying for a muhammad ali v forman tactic...i think theyre sitting back, soaking it up, letting them get tired, what with the midweek game and that,with the intention of picking them off when theyre bolloxed and then BAM late goal, and a 1-0 victory! 🙂

    on another note, my stream just changed to a dutch commentary, and its strangely soothing.

      How the feck do you know the team so early? And why isn't Shorey playing?

      Pressumably Dorrans will be playing deeper then, alongside Mulumbu... If I were picking the team:

      Carson
      Jara Scharner Tamas Shorey
      Mulumbu Reird
      Tchoyi Dorrans Brunt
      Odemwingie

      You'd probably win the league with that team.

        Yeah, that would be my team also. He's playing deep, so I'm not getting too excited, playing him off Odemwingie would be lethal IMO.
