The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

8 December 2013 3528 comments

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.

        You can keep Evans provided he is the only iffy defensive pick in your squad, he becomes a good pick then for the next few weeks but unreliable obviously...How many games would you be happy with him starting ? Two thirds sounds about right to me.

      His last day in my team. Even if he comes on for 1 minute I will be 'happy' as I have no subs.
