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.

            yeah, i'm fine. Everyone deserves 1 really bad gameweek. To be fair, i was convinced Drenthe would start, and i had Richards at home to Spurs. City with a 100% record at the Etihad. Only person i thought i could bench and get away with was Bale. Thought Enrique was nailed on for a cleanie vs Bolton. Ah well, i've learn't my lesson now, and i'm coming for you 😡

    Van Persie will definitely leave now. 5 points off champions league and Van Persie actually said "no" when Oxlade was taken off. He's done. Wenger has done some dumb stuff that i'd forgive considering the situation, but taking off oxlade for arshavin was unbelivable.
