Sunday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 9

It’s a blockbuster Sunday in the Premier League, as two city rivals and two championship rivals face each other in back-to-back games. The Dugout Discussion opens for our first game, the small matter of the Merseyside Derby…

Everton XI: Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Naismith, Osman, Neville, Mirallas, Fellaini, Jelavic.

Liverpool XI: Jones, Wisdom, Skrtel, Agger, Jose Enrique, Fernandez Saez, Sahin, Gerrard, Allen, Sterling, Suarez.

David Moyes gets a huge boost in the form of Marouane Fellaini, who has passed fit and starts up front for the Toffee’s. As for Liverpool, they welcome back Pepe Reina but opt to leave him on the bench, meaning Brad Jones keeps his spot. Elsewhere, Jose Enrique gets a rare start courtesy of a Glen Johnson injury picked up midweek.

Before proceedings at Goodison Park conclude, Newcastle United host West Brom, and Southampton welcome the visit of Tottenham Hotspur (both games kick-off at 3p.m). Arguably the biggest game of the day kicks off at 4p.m however, as Manchester United travel to table-toppers Chelsea.

Follow all the action as it unfolds in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which is open and can be accessed right here.

      thinking of doing tevez>ba after the pool game, though. Ba's fixtures are impossible to ignore!

      I made a choice between Tevez and Ba this week, chose Tevez. Going forward I think it's pretty even, but I chose Tevez solely for the reason that City have the potential to roll teams over.

        plus Tevez definitely a better quality player whereas Ba is your on form player.
        So it will be berba making way wen I decide to get Ba in

      Tevez will go soon I imagine as Aguero/Dzeko/Balotelli are going to take away his playing time at some point. Just hope he doesn't do too much damage in the mean time!

        wont happen this season... Dzeko will be just be supersub playing the last 10 minutes and i doubt Ballotelli even getting that much game time.... Tevez will be atleast playing 80 minutes and that is more than enough

      by the time they face madrid, they could already be in a helpless situation in europe.

      i think he will start next week and the result of the ajax(and the mad-dotmun) game will decide what happens after that

      Ignore the forwards, seems to be frequent rotation.
      Morrison probably, but he seems to be playing fairly deep (not sure how deep he usually plays though)
