And we’re back in the game.

The Dugout Discussion kicks back into gear with seven Premier League fixtures spreading across a period of more than six hours. We start off slowly with a small tie up at Anfield between Liverpool and Manchester United…

There is a lot of news in the line-up front. Liverpool recall their captain -Steven Gerrard- to make his first start in over six months after recovery from injury as Andy Carroll drops out. The away side pose the real questions as Javier Hernandez, Nani and Wayne Rooney are left on the bench by Alex Ferguson in a bold/foolish (delete as appropriate after the game) move. Line-ups to be digested in full are…

Liverpool XI: Reina; Kelly, Carragher, Skrtel, Enrique; Lucas, Adam Gerrard, Downing, Kuyt; Suarez

United XI: De Gea; Smalling, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra; Young, Fletcher, Jones, Giggs, Park; Welbeck

Not long after the dust has settled on that almighty introduction we’ll have five three o’clock kick-offs to keep the flow going. Wigan host Bolton with the Scout Selection Committee keeping closes eyes on a certain Victor Moses.

A few more people will be distracted by the Man City line-up as they play host to Aston Villa while Norwich, QPR and Stoke play host to Swansea, Blackburn and Fulham respectively – varied squad “fillers” aplenty in those games to keep track of.

Before the night draws in the Dugout Discussion closes out with Chelsea playing host to an Everton side who have a strong record over recent seasons against their fellow side in blue. Can David Moyes keep up the good streak and spoil the Villas-Boas broth?

      Ferguson always does this, he's the Sigmund Freud of football, it's a two finger salute to Liverpool. "I can drop two of my most creative and best players away from home against you, and still be confident of getting a result."

      I hope it back fires on the aggorant little shit.

        I think it's more a case of the first 45 minutes will be fast and lively so don't fancy putting Rooney into that melting pot with his temper.

        Rather fill the midfield get a foothold in the game, maybe even sneak a lead. Then if Liverpool need to chase the game bring on a fresh Nani, Hernandez and Rooney for the last half an hour and hit them on the break.

        I think he is wary of the draining nature of the game, physically and mentally, and so wants to be in a position to bring on a few top class players who are fresh to change the game when Liverpool are tired.
