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.

        The ref hasnt got a decision wrong yet, except for the free he gave to Liverpool. If anything Spurs fans should be giving out about him 😉

      The way I see it if you're dumb enough to make tackles like this when you have seen how low a tolerance the ref has then you deserve everything you get.

        well personally, i think liverpool play much better without carroll.forget 35 mil. the defense looks very slow too. so imo they'd be better off with 4-5-1 wid suarez up front with wingers protecting full backs.

      It's a great goal. Ran the final third into space and with Carragher all over him on the edge of the box, turned him and put it in the bottom corner from just inside the box.

    CFCTom. Comfirmation of bet...

    If United win, you are not to post commeets for a week and after a week you have to change your name to MUFCDom and change you grav to a United badge for 2 weeks.

    If Chelsea win, I'm not allowed to post comments for a week and after a week I have to change my name and grav to something Chelsea related based on the outcome of the game today.

    Draw no bet.

    And no alias'.

      I'm setting off to walk up to the soon to be 'Theatre of Broken Dreams' in a couple of minutes. I agree to your terms. Can you do me a favour and tell me of any Silva/Dempsey/Adebayor/Brown related activity in their respective games, anyone? I'll be on here via my phone but I dont know if the signal will be any good in the ground. And yes, no alias', I dont and never did have any anyway. God I hope we win...
