Saturday Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion opens for the oddity of a solitary Saturday Premier League fixture. With Chelsea and Liverpool Wembley bound this evening, we’re restricted to just one fantasy scoring opportunity. But, with over half of us backing Robin van Persie with the armband (if our Captain’s Poll is to be believed), then Arsenal versus Norwich is a game of huge significance. With mini-leagues hanging in the balance, let’s take a look at the team news to confirm whether or not our talisman starts…

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Ramsey, Song, Gervinho, Rosicky, Benayoun, van Persie.

Norwich XI: Ruddy, Naughton, Ryan Bennett, Martin, Lappin, Johnson, Howson, Elliott Bennett, Hoolahan, Jackson, Holt.

Of course the Arsenal captain does start, and he does so in an unchanged Gunners line-up from the side that drew 1-1 at Stoke.

After a 3-0 defeat at home to Liverpool, Norwich make several changes with Grant Holt and Simeon Jackson leading the line for the Canaries.

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

    Eugh. I've got RvP as captain because even if he doesn't score it means they have a chance of dropping points, and i'm a Spurs fan.

        Unhappy.

        RvP is meant to be involved in all Arsenal goals! If they win i've got a load of points, if they don't Tottenham have a chance of 3rd.

        Other people being involved in the goals just ruins the whole win-win situation i thought i had. 🙁

    Never did the 8 pointer to get Rooney in. Now i've Van Persie as my captain, and of course, rival has Rooney. If Rvp gets a blank today, i'll be watching the Man Utd game under my bed.
