Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

8 December 2013 3528 comments

Mark

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.

If Lukaku didn't touch the ball there is no way he is getting the assist.

ASSIST Romelu Lukaku supplied the pass for Deulofeu to rifle in his second #BPL goal of the season. Four minutes to go, Arsenal 1-1 Everton

"supplied the pass"

Fair play to Martinez he got a crap Wigan side playing like Brazil for 10 games every season.....although the 28 games playing like Tranmere Rovers was probably not advisable.

He's doing a great job at Everton.
