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.

    I'm not sure Balotelli should have been sent off, I think it could be debated that he was just off balance and his leg came down like that instinctively, if you watch it again he's not even looking at Parker either. 1 for the review board I suppose

      I'm with you, think people are judging Ballotelli on reputation.

      He was off balance and was turning which is how your foot goes.

      He was straight over to Parker.

      He's so crazy if he did it on purpose he wouldn't be pretending he hadn't.

      I'm a United fan too, so no bias there.

          Yeah I know.

          My gut didn't work out for me on that one.

          At least I stuck with it and didn't change the captain from Sess to Walters or Sturridge like I was going to (And would have if I knew Sturridge would start).

      Well he did drive his foot down really hard, doesn't look like he barely stepped on him, but the situation will certainly be debated.
