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.

    REPOST but I'm curious to see how biased we are-:

    What do you guys feel Torres’s exaggeration action (read dive if you wish) on the minimal contact (but some contact most definitely) from Evans deserved the second yellow which led to the red card?

    End your reply stating whether you’re a United fan/Chelsea fan/neutral.

        Man United fan. I think it is harsh for the second yellow, but I do hate that players actually seek out these situations. There is contact, yes, but couldn't Torres have got around Evans and had an attempt at goal?

        Instead, he boots the ball too far out of his reach and looks for the foul. So he really has himself to blame...

          Oh yes, he could but of course you know whom he would blame.....That's ok for a first yellow, but not for the 2nd yellow.

        On a side note, there could have been plenty more cards in this game. It was heated already in the first half... I honestly don't think the ref had a bad game.

        If you look at the replay from behind the referee, it really does look like he dives..
