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.

        Agree - the angle they now keep showing looks like he was obstructed. Foul = pen. Soft, but pelanty nonetheless.

        But how many times do you see defenders shielding the ball out for a goal kick more aggressively that that. No chance you are getting a pen in that situation.

          That's not like you (the lack of planning - the play is textbook Goddard).
          Felt sure that money would be for something Sturridgetoaguero-esque.

          Liverpool CS will help, but little chance I'm catching you this week. Shame.

    Hey guys. Just after thoughts... I have managed to have Gervinho in for a bit now. Thinking need to upgrade to RVP.

    My options are - Silva, VDV, Mata. Obviously not keen on any... Other option is Adebayor out too but would mean RVP with 2 real cheap strikers (i have Graham)....

    Stick with Gervinho and hope over season he keeps going like past few games is other option. Just feel going to miss out without RVP...

      Gervinho is doing alright recently, but you are always going to want to have RVP.

      You are probably best taking money out of defence (Bosingwa, Smalling) and upgrading Gervinho to RVP. Might even get there in 2 moves?
