Find your seats quickly – Saturday’s match action is just minutes away with United putting pride on the line at Goodison in a noon kick-off. With that in mind, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is already open, soaking up your reactions from now, right through to this evening as all the day’s matches unfold…
The “traitor” Wayne Rooney returns to the club he once called home to kick off our bumper package of Premier League football. Teams in full are…
Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Baines, Jagielka, Heitinga, Bilyaletdinov, Osman, Coleman, Rodwell, Fellaini, Saha
United XI: De Gea, Jones, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Fletcher, Cleverley, Park, Welbeck, Rooney, Hernandez
While the half-time oranges are being devoured up at Goodison Park another big game kicks off at 12:45 as Chelsea welcome Fernando Torres back to the fold for the visit of Arsenal to Stamford Bridge.
The action then kicks into top gear with another five fixtures scheduled to festoon the three o’clock hours with all sorts of action – closest eyes will inevitably be on how much “rest” and rotation Roberto Mancini affords his City side at home to Wolves ahead of their crucial trip to (recently Guissepe Rossi-less) Villarreal in midweek.
The eighth and final fixture of the day sees the Dugout Discussion screen Roy Hodgson against the side that threw him overboard like flotsam and jetsam – whether Luis Suarez has recovered from his Carling Cup heroics will undoubtedly be keen on many minds.
