We’ve got three fixtures to enjoy on this Sunday of Premier League action. After league-leaders Manchester United narrowly took three points yesterday at Villa Park, it’s time for the other two title contenders to respond. The Dugout Discussion opens for the juicy encounter at the Etihad Stadium between hosts Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. The team news is in, and is as follows…

Man City XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy, Yaya Toure, Barry, Kolarov, Silva, Tevez, Aguero.

Spurs XI: Friedel, Walker, Gallas, Caulker, Vertonghen, Sandro, Huddlestone, Lennon, Bale, Dempsey, Adebayor.

Roberto Mancini makes four changes from last weekends goalless draw against West Ham, which includes the return of David Silva after a month-long lay-off. As for the visitors, Jermain Defoe misses out despite a midweek hattrick in the Europa League, which means Emmanual Adebayor lines up against his former employers.

Following events in Manchester there will be another tasty battle, this time in the capital where Liverpool travel down to Chelsea. In and amongst, at 3p.m., Newcastle United welcome the visit West Ham United.

You can take in all the action in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which is open and can be accessed right here.

    Silva is the second highest scoring striker in the game, costing under 10 and he is playing regulary for City. Is it madness that I kinda want to sell him?

      You mean Tevez?

      And yes and no. He's certainly worth having, but with the form of mid-pricers, if you have the free transfers to restructure, I'd do it.

          It seems like a good swap but I'm in no rush to sell Tevez at the moment. I might get Suarez instead when the time comes but at the moment I'm happy with him.

    Time to face the fact of stupid tranny and do tevez => berba for a hit this week?
    Only point to do that is actually 0.3 price rise for berba and to my mind in ease.
