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.

      The goal was the mirror image of his goal against Southampton, back post tap in from Benayoun smashed cross/shot.

    *How come when Baines under performs for weeks it’s fine and he is there for the long term but when Bale does it he is no good and must be sold?

    People need to get some perspective. He is one of the strongest midfielders in the game and he too should be considered a long term investment. If you just knee jerk all the good players about such as Cazorla, Bale etc you are just gonna miss out when the points do come.

      Well Bale is not a pen taking defender in one of the best offenses in the league, he is a high priced winger in a pretty bad offensive team with many better options in that price range.

      too much competition for midfield slots.
      defenders are a much more trivial issue. When Baines is getting 1s and 2s, no other defender is racking up double digit points week after week.
      You're welcome.

    Potential strange formation from Liverpool at the bridge?? Liverpool 3-5-1-1 with Carra in for ill Skrtel and Johnson / Enrique wing backs.

    I hope it works but gotta be honest - I fear the worst and would have thought LFC be better with the 4-3-3 as Chelsea have inexperience Full backs that Stirling & Assaidi could have got at.
