The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Gameweek 32 continues with a pair of Sunday encounters featuring a host of Fantasy talent – mainly from Merseyside.

Everton’s trip to basement dwellers Fulham gets things underway in just a few minutes, as Roberto Martinez’s side look for a fifth consecutive victory to pile further pressure on Arsenal for fourth spot. Fantasy managers will be looking from continued returns from Messrs Coleman and Baines, while Romelu Lukaku seeks to maintain a run of four goals in five starts since his return from injury.

The focus then switches to Anfield, as Liverpool’s seemingly relentless goal scoring machine is targeted on the Tottenham defence. Brendan Rodgers’ men will again look to the combination of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge for the decisive strikes as they seek an eighth straight win, with Fantasy managers expectantly awaiting further hauls from the potent pairing.

Our Twitter feed has all the news from the teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is once again open for any folk wishing to vent in real-time.

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

      He's right though - if Everton beat Arsenal at Goodison Park next week then they will be only one point behind with a game in hand. So are you an Arsenal fan or just anti-Merseyside?
