Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday rolls on with a set of five afternoon kick-offs, rounded off unceremoniously by a tea-time clash as Hull City host Stoke. Interesting.

Before that, all eyes will be on Goodison and Stamford Bridge where two prime captain candidates – namely Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard, will carry the hopes of thousands of Fantasy managers as they face up to the Fulham and Crystal Palace defences respectively.

The afternoon’s events are completed by West Brom’s trip to Cardiff, while Newcastle host Southampton and an injury-ravaged West Ham entertain Sunderland.

As always, you can look to our twitter feed for details of the major movements on the teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through today’s matches, right up until the final whistle at the KC Stadium.

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

    Only downside to Negredo is that he might lose some game time to Dzeko. The "two big men up front" formation doesn't work and you saw today that they weren't happy doing that by bringing on Navas for Aguero.

      No downside Negredo has been looking good awhile now. With Aguero out , think he will step into the breech ?

        Aguero and Negredo aren't really competing for the same spot in the team. It probably helps the likes of Navas more than Negredo. Only a couple of weeks ago Dzeko got the nod over Negredo at West Brom, so it's far from a lock that he'll be 90 minutes every week until Aguero comes back.
