Saturday Dugout Discussion

We’ve got a mammoth eight games today to get us back into the swing of Premier League action today. We start the Dugout Discussion over in Norfolk as Paul Lambert and his band of merry men welcome Arsenal to Carrow Road…

Norwich make a couple of changes to the side that list at Villa Park before the international break with Andrew Crofts and David Fox coming in for Elliott Bennett and Grant Holt. Arsene Wenger, meanwhile, starts Laurent Koscielny at right-back with the rest of his side pretty much picking itself. Teams in full are…

Norwich XI:Ruddy; Naughton, Martin, Barnett, Tierney; Johnson, Crofts, Pilkington, Hoolahan (C), Fox; Morison.

Arsenal XI: Szczesny; Koscielny, Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Andre Santos; Song, Ramsey, Arteta; Walcott, Gervinho, Van Persie.

Then we’ll be with good old Jeff Stelling and Merse -or Gabby Logan and Garth Crooks for those less fortunate- to take in a big bite of Gameweek 12 action with 6 three o’clock kick offs to keep our eyes on.

Man City (who will lead the line this time?) hosting Newcastle, Sunderland (the travails of one Nicklas Bendtner) welcoming Fulham and Everton (all eyes on the Drenthe bandwagon) vying with Wolves are the pick of the bunch for most Fantasy Managers out there.

Swansea’s imperious home record will face it’s sternest test yet in the evening kick-off as Manchester United pay visit and close out our bumper Saturday of Dugout Discussion action.

    feeling very fortunate as an aguero owner right now. luckiest of assists and a penalty we weren't even sure he would take, and certainly wouldn't have if balotelli didn't go off minutes earlier. also being on 72mins aguero was lucky to still be on

      You get what you pay for in this game. And Aguero's been unlucky the last few weeks anyway.

        Main rival has a defence of Wilkinson (0), Woodgate (-), Evans (-), Simpson (1), Boyata (-)...

        Thank god for Big Dunc. The lead can hopefully stay in tact despite his Aguero & RVP strike partnership and my abhorrent midfield.

      I guess upwards of 55 maybe even 60. Almost 90% have rvp as captain which means 26 points have been bagged. That's a prediction anyways.

      There's no point chasing after last (this?) weeks points. When Richards is rotated next week there will be tears and snot.

      I'd stick with week in week out Kompany.
