The Dugout Discussion – Wednesday

The final two fixtures of Gameweek 34 arrive this evening. Everton and Palace both have plenty to play for at Goodison – an eighth straight win for the hosts would take them back above Arsenal in the race for fourth, whilst a victory for Palace would take Tony Pulis’ side onto the 40-point mark. City are desperate to bounce back from Sunday’s loss at Liverpool – the visit of basement-dwellers Sunderland affords them the chance to rack up a fifteenth home win in 16 attempts:

The big news from the Etihad is that David Silva has been omitted from City’s squad altogether. With Yaya Toure sidelined due to a groin injury and Edin Dzeko dropping to the bench, Sergio Aguero will carry the hopes of many into this evening’s encounter against a Black Cats side beset with injuries, suspension and illness. Over at Goodison, Romelu Lukaku – leader of last week’s Captain Poll – is looking to recover from Saturday’s unexpected blank at Sunderland.

We’ll bring you the teamsheet news from tonight’s games via our Twitter feed, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open for those looking for some real-time reactions.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        I had an inkling that Baines would score in this type of scrappy game, including both of them. Certainly not the type for lukaku to score loads. I need to befriend Baines and remind him I've put him in my fpl team it seems to get much out of him. Or i need barkley to run at defenders and let them kick him.

    England have no chance with Joe Hart in goal.

    Overrated and will be exposed badly in Brazil.

    Bet he isn't England's number one come the end of this year.

          It's easy to look good, playing as goalie for a poor side. Teams have lots of shots on target, often from speculative long shots that result in flying saves that look awesome, but really should be saved by a top flight goalie.

          Last year everyone talked about Mignolet as a super shot-stopper and a great keeper. This year, when he's playing for a better side, no one's been talking about him all season.

          Marshall might be a decent shot stopper but so are all PL goalies, he just gets more chances to show it off than a Hart or a Cech.
