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.

    Just seen the Ballotelli incident. Clear sending off imo. Right foot has only one intention...and it isn't to remain balanced either. 😕

    Am I right in thinking about a year ago they tried a ratings system on here, where people who recieved to many "dislikes" to their posts got muted. Given this sites surge in popularity and the resulting influx of d1ckheads (on dugout discussions especially) then I reckon we bring it back...

    Yep sounds about right based on the sloppiness of our play.

    Wayward clearance gives possession straight back to United on the right, our dodgy fullback Djourou is beaten for the cross and a winger heads in.

    At least I had that winger...

        True, was time a while ago though... still would do it - Nani can't keep playing ahead of Young if he keeps this up.
