The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

The Gameweek continues with a pair of Sunday afternoon kick-offs, beginning with Fulham’s clash with Villa at the Cottage, in just a few minutes. Following on from that, two form sides clash at the Emirates as leaders Arsenal look for their seventh home victory of the season against an Everton outfit fresh from their midweek win at Old Trafford.

While those two teams are looking to extend a superb spell of results, Rene Meulensteen’s Fulham are desperately seeking to end a run of six consecutive defeats against Paul Lambert’s inconsistent Villa: they will arrive in West London unbeaten in their last four road trips in the league and boosted by the midweek win at St Mary’s.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest news on today’s teamsheets as it breaks, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain so throughout today’s matches, up until the final whistle at the Emirates.

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

        Had thought of having him in my team after that game against ManU...but, had other issues to deal with. I haven't seen WBA's games lately. But, his stats(FPL wise) weren't impressive after that tiny streak of his.

        I'd bench Barkley of he picks up another yellow and play Cabaye. Southampton seem to have lost their def mojo just recently.

                  City will win. I tell you why. For Arsenal, it is an away game after a midweek match in a continental cup. Those away games generally bring a lot worse results than the usual ones. In addition, it's a very important match and Wenger will play his best lineup against a Napoli team that will have to put their everything to this one. It will be tiring. City, moreover, has their midweek clash one day before. Already that gives them one day more to prepare to weekend match, and then it's at home, which means they again have more time, while Arsenal has to first go home and then will travel again. City's home form is fearsome, and in even conditions you would still not expect Arsenal to win at Etihad. In these conditions, a defeat is almost a certainty.

                2FT 2 million in bank. Considering Mig to Marshall and Williams to Distin leaves me with enough money to do Sess to 9.2 million midfielder next week. Anyone see a better move?
