Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Sunday focuses on the ambitions of the Merseyside pair, as Everton look to close in on fourth place with a win over Arsenal at Goodison, while Liverpool seek to extend their run of victories to nine by clawing back top spot with the points at West Ham.

Arsenal take on the Toffees having won just once in five matches, while Roberto Martinez’s outfit have five straight wins, putting them just four points behind the Gunners with a game in hand. Sunday’s clash is perfectly poised, then, with Fantasy managers looking to a host of Everton options ahead of their double Gameweek to come.

Later today, Luis Suarez will face up to a West Ham defence with the majority backing the Uruguayan with the armband. His potential haul looks pivotal to our Gameweek fortunes again, with the likes of Daniel Sturridge and Steven Gerrard providing an able supporting cast at the Boleyn Ground.

Our Twitter feed will bring you all the news from today’s teamsheets, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to accompany you right through to the final whistle in East London.

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

    Im seriously considering dropping Hazard for Silva. Chances quite high it would pay off.

      Given Silva has two matches extra, yes.

      As am I, Hazard's last 4 or 5 goals in all competitions have been penalties and in FPL terms, he's only converted two pens in the last 7 GWs and he has no DGWs to go anyway

    What's the latest on Aguero?
    I've 'just' got the cash to make the change from Studge, but have pretty much decided on going Dzeko for next week instead - leaves me wiggle room for another City player if I want to take the hit.

      He'll definitely play 3 games in 8 days, no chance of him being rested for Sunderland. He'll be in form immediately too. No brainer to get him in.
