With their city rivals making a statement at Carrow Road yesterday, the Sunday Dugout Discussion opens to see if league leaders Manchester United can hold their nerve and restore a five point lead at home to Aston Villa. It’s the only Premier League game taking place today, and the team news for the encounter is in…

Man United XI: De Gea, Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Young, Welbeck, Rooney.

Villa XI: Given, Hutton, Collins, Baker, Lichaj, Bannan, Ireland, Clark, Gardner, Weimann, Agbonlahor.

As expected, Sir Alex Ferguson restores Paul Scholes to his starting line-up in place of Ryan Giggs. There’s also recalls for Rafael and Danny Welbeck, with Phil Jones and Javier Hernandez dropping to the bench.

Alex McCleish is without the injured duo of Stephen Warnock and Chris Herd, so there are starts for both Gary Gardner and Ciaran Clark.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom can be accessed right here, and will remain open the duration of today’s football, including the FA Cup tie between Tottenham and Chelsea.

    F*ck off out of my team Young. So fed up of your diving, your random starts on the bench, and inability to complete the full 90. At least you made 60 you t*sser.

    Young and Rooney to Bale and Tevez

    Former Manchester United schoolboy and Wales international Robbie Savage at Old Trafford for BBC Radio 5 live: "Why has the referee stopped the game then, after allowing a Manchester United attack? If it's a head injury he should stop the game straightaway. Why stop it at the point where United give the ball away?"

    Sums up our season.

      seriously??
      why post with bias man just be neutral would have been very harsh and when referees have made a clanger early on in the game they will only give dead cert decisions for the rest of the game to that side

        I'd agree that it would have been harsh to give, wouldn't like to see it given. But it was a legitimate claim. It's just funny how everyone goes quiet after it.
