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.

    Guys,

    Was Ivan to blame yesterday for some of Stoke goals? Any chance he will not play vs. Palace? Think I'll get rid after that.

              maybe, I personally will be comfortable with 2 winless seasons in the transitional era. It is probably the toughest transition any manager has had to overcome. With Fergies imprint on everything in the club.

            People wheel that fact out like it matters now. That was years ago. Football has changed and the nature of management with it.

            I do think he'll get this transfer window to show intent, but will be gone in March if they aren't winning at home.
