Sunday Dugout Discussion

Coming down from the highs of cheering captain Luis Suarez in person to a magnificent two point tally will be hard to do, but, this Sunday, the Dugout Discussion has come good with all sorts of tasty fixtures that will soon cleanse any palette…

There are three early kick-offs at 1:30pm today as we keep track of some top ties – the Manchester derby chief amongst them. All the following line-ups are sourced from the Premier League (@premierleague).

Fergie has named the same back-line as which drew at Liverpool while recalling Anderson, Nani and Wayne Rooney to his starting line-up. Roberto Mancini has kept the faith with Mario Balotelli while he can also call on a fit again Sergio Aguero. Teams in full are…

United XI: De Gea, Evra, Ferdinand, Evans, Smalling, Fletcher, Anderson, Nani, Young, Rooney, Welbeck.

City XI: Hart, Richards, Clichy, Lescott, Kompany, Milner, Barry, Yaya Toure, Silva, Aguero, Balotelli.

Arsene Wenger said he’ll have to rest Robin Van Persie eventually – he has now. Opting instead for the brute force of Marouanne Chamakh against Stoke. Captain Ryan Shawcross will likely find himself up against Aaron Ramsey at some point today. Teams in full are…

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Mertesacker, Santos, Koscielny, Djourou, Arteta, Song, Walcott, Ramsey, Gervinho, Chamakh.

Stoke XI: Begovic, Shawcross, Wilkinson, Upson, Whelan, Etherington, Wilson, Delap, Whitehead, Crouch, Walters.

Fulham make a widespread amount of changes from their midweek European team while David Moyes gives loan signing Royston Drenthe his first start as well as super sub Apostolos Vellios. Teams in full are…

Fulham XI: Schwarzer, Baird, Riise, Hangeland, Grygera, Murphy, Sidwell, Dempsey. Dembele, Johnson, Zamora.

Everton XI: Howard, Distin, Baines, Hibbert, Jagielka, Neville, Fellaini, Rodwell, Osman, Drenthe, Vellios.

As these games either enter the dying embers or reach a heady climax the fourth game of the day will kick off as Harry Redknapp tries to keep on pressing up the table with a trip to Ewood Park. QPR playing host to Chelsea will then round out the gameweek on all good television screens.

A whole host of opportunities today with a wide array of fixtures and top teams to savour in the Dugout Discussion. Here’s hoping the stars can live up to their billing.

      If I had the transfers I'd probably downgrade so I could upgrade my midfield, but as it stands I think I'll just leave him. Chelsea certainly are defensively weak even if it was a non-existant penalty in reality.

      Yeh the thing is tho once u get rid there is really no going back coz you would be losing so much value. (providing u picked him up early) I 'd be losing 0.4 on him if i sold then bought back. Tough call to make.

      People are completely within their rights to be worried about his pitchtime, he always gets subbed off and has an awful injury record.

      Obviousy it turns out that he has done incredibly well despite that, but that doesn;t mean there was never a legitimate worry with him.

      It seems all people want to do is gloat around here and dismiss the actual issues that people were talking about, because next week will be the same, up until the deadline we can only speculate. I'd rather discuss valid points than listen to people stroking themselves over some good choices they might have made, gets tedious.

        Having VdV in your team is a risk, he generally gets subbed on the 60 minute mark and as you say his injury record is awful. But when he plays he generally scores, which is why for me he's a worthwhile risk.
