Sunday Dugout Discussion

Yesterday’s slim fantasy pickings has undoubtedly heaped the pressure on today’s four Premier League games to deliver. The Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through them all, starting at White Hart Lane with Tottenham Hotspur versus Liverpool and culminating in Chelsea’s visit to champions Manchester United.

In and amongst those back-to-back games, two of our Europa League representatives, Stoke City and Fulham, take on Sunderland at the Stadium of Light and Manchester City at Craven Cottage respectively.

The “Super Sunday” opener kicks-off shortly, and here are the all-important team sheets…

Tottenham XI: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto, Kranjcar, Parker, Modric, Bale, Adebayor, Defoe.

Liverpool XI: Reina, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Jose Enrique, Henderson, Lucas, Adam, Downing, Suarez, Carroll.

Catching the eye are the big strike-partnerships both sides have named. Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor continue upfront for Spurs, whilst Liverpool’s Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll start together for only the second time in the league this season.

Another headline is the return (to the substitutes bench at least) of Rafael van der Vaart, and it’s worth remembering he is not in Spurs’ Europa League squad.

Feast or famine, the Dugout Discussion chatroom will be here for you all day.

      As long as Dalglish stays, Carroll will. He got faith in him.

          if Liverpool doesn't finish within top 4 this year (which is likely), Dalglish transform from "the great Dalglish" to "the next Benitez".. and by then he can take Andy Carrol to wherever he wants, championship probably.

        Agree with that - not a dirty game. Some challenges late and fouls, but not particularly dirty. Ref has put a low threshold today though. LIverpool not smart enough to notice and suffering.

      Saw the last round. Ortiz was looking at the ref who was looking at the judges when those knockout punches were thrown. Not sure even if the ref said "Box." Disgraceful.

        I seen it back a few times. He did gesture for them to start boxing again but for someone with "class" to act in that way is disgraceful. His interview with Larry Merchant was shocking too. Good viewing all the same.
