Sunday Dugout Discussion

Yet again both Manchester clubs in are involved in Sunday Premier League action. With most fantasy managers cheering on their captain today, the Dugout Discussion opens to follow all the action from the three games on show.

We start at Old Trafford as United look to open up an eight point gap with a victory against Everton. The team news from the match-up is in, and the sides line-up as follows…

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

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Neville, Osman, Heitinga, Gibson, Pienaar, Fellaini, Jelavic.

Nani returns to United’s starting eleven for the first time in eight games, with Ashley Young taking his place on the substitutes bench. Facing his former employer, Darron Gibson starts for Everton.

Then it’s over to bottom of the league Wolves, where City are in town needing three points regardless of the earlier result. Kicking off at the same time, Liverpool and West Brom are also in action, with Roy Hodgson back at Anfield for the first time since departing as Liverpool manager.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

    I kept both Rooney and RVP this week, but getting rid of rooney for the remainder. He has City away, Swansea home and Sunderland away. Not exactly the best fixtures since Swansea can be defensive and City wanna win

      I actually think they're good fixtures. Swansea and Sunderland have nothing to play for, and Utd in a derby is always going to be a decent fixture, particularly for Rooney.

      It all depends if you think four games for Jelavic and this like is going to score higher. Plus you get a decent amount of money from it, I just can't find anywhere to spend this money!

      I honestly think Everton are the best bet for DGW. They're good form and two decent games. I'm going for Jags, Pienaar and Jelly. Too much rotation risk with Chelsea so I'm sticking with just Cahill. Spurs are badly out of form and if I didn't already have BAE and Bale, I would'nt be getting anymore Spurs in. This is how my DGW team will likely shape up:

      KRUL (Mig)

      JAGS BAE CAHILL (Evans Verm)

      PETROV BALE PIENAAR DEMPS (Valencia)

      CISSE JELLY RVP

      Reina in goal. BAE instead of Huth. Everton defender instead of Williamson. If Barn is Ade, than you gotta drop VDV to get BAE.
      This week is gunna be all about Tot and Eve I reckon. Liv and Che would also be in the reckoning if it weren't for their FA cup final which will mean loads of rotation.

      Hey man, btw the jellow on Distin was outrageous. But im just sick of the conspiracy theory. I hate barca but also the case with them is that if you have the ball 80% of the game than the refs have to make more decisions. So you are bound to get more lucky calls when you attack all of the time. But you also get unlucky ones. The problem is the refereeing system that dont work. We need technology.

        i'm no fan of conspiracy theories either, but the way uefa/fifa are opposing the use of technology makes one think whether there's a purpose, like ability to handle a world cup ticket to France and send home Ireland - remember that ref was never punished, instead he was put incharge of some big games just a year later.
