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.

    Not happy about Distin playing LB, could nullify the Valencia threat, he'll certainly do a better job then Baines would have.

      Who says he'll Play LB? It will be Neville or Hibbert most likely at each fullback.

    Rate my team! Here it is as it stands:

    Vorm - Ruddy

    BAE - J Evans - Cahill - Williamson - N Taylor

    Bale - Dempsey - Sigurdsson - Ben Arfa - McClean

    RVP - Rooney - P Cisse

    £3.8m in the bank, 1FT.

    I was thinking...

    McClean -> Valencia?

    Thanks

      Get rid of one or two of your Tottenham players.
