Saturday Dugout Discussion

The FA Cup affected Gameweek 34 swings into action with title challengers Manchester City facing a stern test at Carrow Road. The Dugout Discussion opens for what will surely be an eventful day, with one eye on the Premier League and one eye on the goings on at Wembley (and also perhaps Aintree). The team news from our early kick-off is in, and the line-ups are as follows…

Norwich XI: Ruddy, Martin, Ward, Ryan Bennett, Drury, Elliott Bennett, Howson, Johnson, Pilkington, Holt, Wilbraham

Man City XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, De Jong, Barry, Nasri, Tevez, Aguero, Silva

The Canaries name an unchanged side from their successful trip to White Hart Lane, and Pablo Zabaleta in for Micah Richards is City’s only alteration.

After the title race has either heated up or died down, we’ve got another three Premier League games to enjoy. The almost relegated Wolves take a trip to the Stadium of Light, fellow strugglers Blackburn travel to Swansea, and West Brom host QPR, another side looking to avoid the drop.

Follow all the action as it unfolds in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which is open and can be accessed right here.

    What is going on with Sig assist? BBC says it was his!? If his shot hits a post then it's deflected in he gets the assist right? Was Robinson anywhere near it as maybe it touched him (haven't seen it yet)

          Yeah, what's very eerie is that there was a cardiologist there just like the Muamba incident. Can't win them all I suppose! Sometimes that's the price of sport. Always disliked horse racing for that, I know it's a good day out and fun to bet on but I always feel very bad knowing some of them could be put down all because of a race injury.
