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.

    Aatish, you were right on Nolan over Holt this GW... Gutted to have him as my first sub... Did you see the City game? Silva building momentum?

      Silva will start getting back to his best in the next few weeks I think, a good player to have and somewhat of a differential too.

        yes, but it implies dropping Bale or Cazorla in my case

    How many saves does a goalkeeper need to make in order to get +3 points?

    Jussi is on 7 saves at the moment but still has +2. Not a big deal, just wondering.

      3 saves = 1 point

      3 x 3 = 9

      Every three saves makes a point.

      So
      3, 4, 5 saves = 1 extra point,
      6, 7, 8 saves = 2 extra points,
      9, 10, 11 saves = 3 extra points.

        Cheers mate, hopefully Jussi can hang on to the clean sheet, although I kind of doubt it thats why these points may be helpful 😉
