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.

        Incorrect. 3 game bans are for violent conduct. Plenty of straight reds have been one game bans.

    Oscar gets sacrificed. I think it pays to get Haz/Mata precisely for situations like this. He's the most likely to get pulled...

    Ivanovic owners have had their fair share of good luck so this equals things out a little.

    C'mon United, sort this out.

    One man down, an extra striker on the field...if we don't win this it would be a massive blow.

    Hernandez is usually pretty good against Chelsea too.

    So what you guys reckon United's formation would be like for the coming games? Really tempted by Valencia.
