Super Sunday Dugout Discussion

After a thrilling day of Premier League action yesterday, Super Sunday has a lot to live up to – and it just might. Four of the top five play each other, in what could prove be a monumental day in the 2011-12 season. Needless to say, the Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business, so come is and share your thoughts on the day’s action as they unfold.

It all starts at the Etihad Stadium, where league leaders Manchester City face a Tottenham Hotspur side eager to establish themselves as title contenders. The team news is in…

Man City XI: Hart, Richards, Savic, Lescott, Clichy, Milner, Barry, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko.

Spurs XI: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Parker, Modric, Bale, Van der Vaart, Defoe.

Once again Roberto Mancini cannot call upon the services of their suspended captain fantastic Vincent Kompany, but welcome Micah Richards back into the fold. Edin Dzeko continues up front with Sergio Aguero.

A huge boost for the visitors sees their captain and defensive rock, Ledley King, named amongst the starting eleven after missing the last five league games. Elsewhere, Jermain Defoe starts, replacing the ineligible Emmanuel Adebayor.

Once the dust has settled in Manchester, we turn our attention to the capital. Manchester United will be looking to capitalise on any dropped points from the earlier game, and Arsenal are seeking redemption from the humiliation at the hands of the Champions in the reverse fixture. In case your memory has failed you, it was 8-2.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom can be accessed right here.

    Nothing from them, and potential injuries to Rooney and Nani is pleasing.

    Valencia doing well, less so.

    I'm sick of Valencia constantly outscoring Nani, while all my rivals who couldn't afford Nani went Valencia I just don't be able to make any ground this year, benched Bale this week they played him, captained Walters, had Dempsey none of my rivals did yet they still manage to outscore me thing is they are clueless at the game that's what annoys me the most, guy at top of my league makes about 3 transfers a week stupid punts at times eg took Rvp out for Bellamy the week Bellamy scored 2 it's really annoying me, sorry for rant just had to get it off my chest Nani out Valencia in this week I think

    If you have Rooney, I'd sell him. He looks utterly crocked, the way he broke down when through on goal was astonishingly unfit. Has a limp now too. I may well WC him out if I can find a replacement - Aguero not great though.
