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.

    Who remembers the week Bosingwa got sent off, served his suspension in the cup and was available the next week? The pages were full of "wtf?! Why isn't Bosingwa red flagged?!" posts every day.

    Prepare for Ivanovic to provoke the same issues...

      I remember because he was due a rise, was wrongly flagged it re-set his NTI and I never got that .1 rise.

    Have to say I really hope that the Ref gets penalized by the FA..

    Its a tough call for a ref to adjudge a real dive in a live environment & perhaps that absolutely crazy decision will push through a "diving" panel? There shoul be retrospective punishment for Clubs financially and a ban for a player.

    Crazy Crazy MOFO decision & then the officially allow an offside winner - no current player / Manger should be knighted, as there is no luck for Man Utd - the officials just seem obliged.
