Dugout Discussion – Sunday

4,717 Comments

Sunday’s two matches get underway with a Selhurst Park encounter that finds Crystal Palace host Andre Villas-Boas’ Spurs. Two hours later, Chelsea start their double Gameweek with a home clash with Hull City as Fantasy mangers brace themselves for an avalanche of points.

The team news from Palace finds Ian Holloway keep the faith with much of the side that won promotion from the Championship. Holloway keeps the new boys on the bench, with Marouane Chamakh and Jose Campana in reserve while the likes of Aaron Wilbraham and Scott Dobbie are handed starts. New signing, Dwight Gayle, does get his Premier League debut up front, however.

Visitors Spurs are without Gareth Bale but can call on the services of Jan Vertonghen who is fit to line up alongside Michael Dawson in defence. Danny Rose gets the nod at left-back as expected. In midfield, Gylfi Sigurdsson looks to be starting in the Bale role, with Nacer Chadli given a debut on the left-flank. All eyes will be up front, however, as Roberto Soldado makes his first start following his £26 million move from Valencia.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will be available for those who fancy live chat during this match and into the tea-time clash at Stamford Bridge.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    The only person that delivered was the person i was most hesitant to get, Cech

    At least i know who to get rid off out of Haz, Luk and Tekkers.

    30 seconds is supposed to be added for each sub.

    There was 6 subs.

      6 points from him on today's game is very disappointing, another goal for him would have been worth 8 points with the baps.

      What do you think for the starting XI on Wednesday?

        Think the Villa win vs Arsenal might force Jose to play most of today's team again, with Mata in if he's fit.
