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.

      Yep if you have the resources to afford Nani, Valencia always seems to suffer when Nani is playing

        Valencia only puts up big numbers against crap teams (with exception of one big match against Arsenal)

          while i dont have rooney, i still think he'll get 3, cant recall any bad passes or missed shots

          I think Fellaini is most likely to upset him and Jelavic should get 1 at least

              Hmm was that early in the game? I missed the first 15 minutes. I would ofcourse prefer that Everton players get the bps and I wouldn't mind Nani or Welbeck getting them either 🙂

    if it went down to goal difference its likely that city would take it, they are 4 goals the better with 2 games in hand - if they won both of those games 1-0 to draw level then they would be +6 in goal difference with 2 games to go

    Anyone worse off than 22 with 3 to play?

    Skrtel, Suareez and Tevez (C) to save my frankly awful Gameweek?

    Got HBA instead of getting Cisse
    Newcastle 4 goals, HBA great performance, no points.
    Shipped Rooney, kept RVP
    Have Turner on the bench with a cleanie

    Ah well, you win some, you lose some..

    So I ignored the good advice on here on Friday which was to leave my team alone. Instead, I traded Rooney for Tevez (c) and Kelly for Wheater. I would have played Cahill and Cisse(c) if I hadn't tinkered. 26 points worse off as a result, minus whatever Tevez and Wheater get me. Could have turned a 16 point deficit into a 10 point lead. Bad mistake that is likely to cost me my minileague. Love this game for that reason, perversely.

      You can't make any judgement until you know how much Tevez scores.

      Let's see, I have 16 points from sagna and jelavic on the bench now. What a way to go out in your cup! By the way did you manage to overturn the 10 point difference in your h2h?

      Can't give him all the blame. He was good in the first half but Rafael was so horrid that Evans was left with too much work to do at the back.
