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.

          What's wrong with being a bit of an idiot sometimes? I think it's a good quality. Much better than the grey cardboard footballers like Michael Owen, etc. who just say the same boring things every time they're on TV.

        I'll be honest I really dislike him. That's a good thing though because it injects a bit more passion into any of the City matches I watch when he's playing. It's strange but enjoyable. If anyone else had scored it would have been shrugged off and I'd just want United to get a goal back. Since it was him I really really want a few United goals!

    *inappropriate time to ask for transfer advice*

    so I am going to bin Long, that leaves me 8.2 for a striker.
    who are the best culprits to be looking at, given their fixtures?

    Welbeck, 6.9, eve SUN swa NEW avl WOL, big rotation risk

    Agbonlahor, 7.3 che WBA nor FUL wig EVE, sure starter

    Crouch??

    anyone better?

        How setting fire to a towel in a bathroom results in burning your house down I don't know. Is it possible he'd somehow already stuffed up the plumbing and had to turn the water off? Was there no bath to throw the towel in? The mind boggles. I guess when you earn millions you'd rather risk the house than the hair on the back of your hands.

    Also Balolololololotelli has completely won me round. The lad is a credit to the Premier League. Love him.
