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.

    If Lukaku keeps this assist will it be the worst thing to happen in FPL history ever?

      What about the Bale assist last year at Wigan. At least there was a clear deflection from Lukaku.

    Fulham, Norwich, Crystal Palace + Newcastle were the only four team to get clean sheets this weekend.

    Arguably four of the leakiest defences in the year (maybe not Palace any longer)

    Can hardly be annoyed for not having one of their defenders

      More goal threat, getting more baps and more nailed on (Alcaraz could take games from Distin). I'd say so but Distin is a very good option if you can't afford the extra.
