Akers

There’s just one Premier League fixture this fine Tuesday night, as Manchester United look to strengthen their grip on the title with a visit up to St. James Park and Newcastle United. The Dugout Discussion chatroom has been opened, and offers you a place for your musings as the action unfolds.

As is unfortunately the norm nowadays, there have been one or two differing team sheets for tonight’s game being passed about on Twitter, but this is how they line-up…

Newcastle XI: Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Jose Enrique, Barton, Guthrie, Tiote, Gutierrez, Lovenkrands, Ameobi
Man United XI: Van der Sar, O’Shea, Smalling, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Carrick, Anderson, Giggs, Hernandez, Rooney

The home side are as predicted meaning that Tim Krul replaces the injured Steve Harper. Elsewhere, Cheik Tiote comes straight back into the Toon midfield, with banned Kevin Nolan missing out.

As for the visitors, Chris Smalling replacing Rio Ferdinand doesn’t come as a shock given the latter’s recent injury record. Neither is it a surprising that Luis Nani starts at the expense of Antonio Valencia. One piece of team news that does raise an eyebrow is the total omission of Dimitar Berbatov to the United squad, with no late injury news to report of as yet (EDIT: Sir Alex Ferguson says Berbatov “wasn’t feeling great” earlier today and is the reason why he misses out).

Oh, and Wayne Rooney (swear-jar in hand) takes his place alongside Javier Hernandez up front for the Reds.

Clearly the judges gave him the 3 bonus points as a consolation for the 'assist' he should have had for the 'penalty'. I'd be a bit peeved if I was a Tiote owner...not that there are too many out there. Smalling is a decent shout in all fairness.

I'll take the points...

OH MY GOD.

This is getting weird now.

No.1 in the world had a questionable team at the start of the gw. Firstly he gets jammy with the nasri bp as he had him as captain and now the hernandez 3bps.

Does he know something we dont?

  Nasri deserved his 1 bonus point. As for Hernandez, he was very good in the first half. Didn't deserve three bonus points but i hardly think they guy at the top will be over the moon with 4 points.

3 BP for a striker in a 0-0, he was ok but not deserving of 3 bappables. Possibly the single silliest allocation I can think of this season.

        Top 4 not of the same quality as previous seasons.
        
        Other teams have improved. Bolton, Newcastle, Sunderland, Fulham etc. and there are no whipping boys this year, most of the bottom teams have taken points from the top 6.
        
        At least 2 of the promoted sides will stay up.

      Malouda will start (there I go putting the mockers on him). He's pretty much guaranteed to start in the 4-3-3 Ancelotti has returned to.

  Sturridge if you can stretch to 5.3, if not then Dembele at 4.7 or Welbeck at the same price if you fancy Sunderland to turn their fortunes around.

  Zamora is a decent shout for the dgw. I have Dempsey but that eye-catching performance on his comeback v Blackpool makes me think that Zamora is a better option than opta-friendly Demspey.
