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.

    Lichaj, McClean & Tevez > Jagielka, Pienaar & Jelavic for 8 point hit overkill?

    Leaves me with:

    Krul*
    Jagielka* | Cahill* | Caulker
    Pienaar* | Siggy | Dempsey* | Bale*
    RVP | Cisse* | Jelavic*

    Vorm | Valencia | Kompany | Evans

      Arsenal kept a clean sheet, Swansea didn't, Aguero had more shots off target, I reckon you've got it.

    Hi Everyone Quick question, would much appreciate opinions:

    Pienarr or VDV for McLean or stick with McLean for Bolton Home??? The move would be a 4 point hit.

    Team currently

    Bale / Sig / Dempsey / McLean (Valencia)
    Rooney / Jelavic / Cisse (C)

    I shouldn't be much dissapointed.
    True that Tevez didn't lived upto my expectations but he did better than RVP.
    I feel for those who did Roo to Kun/Carlos.
    BTW,Any chance for Tevez bonus?He was the anchor for both the goals.

      Type in YouTube to mp3 converter and there is a site that converts the video into audio mp3. Them you can download it. If that's what you wanted.
