The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday continues with a quartet of matches, featuring Arsenal and an array of budget and mid-price Fantasy talent.

The Gunners trip to a resolute Aston Villa will likely be the headline act on show: Arsene Wenger’s men will look to recover from the midweek Champions League defeat to Dortmund against Paul Lambert’s resurgent midlands outfit. Alongside that, we’ve an enthralling encounter at the Liberty Stadium as Swansea and Southampton prepare to press and weave patterns around the South Wales pitch.

Elsewhere, Alan Pardew will look to extend his stay of execution at Newcastle via a winnable home clash with Hull City, while Burnley go in search of their first three points back in the top flight as Gus Poyet’s erratic Sunderland unit pull up to Turf Moor.

We may well be discussing some very meagre Fantasy points tallies by 4.50, as we prepare to make our way to East London to check in on West Ham’s progress, as they host Brendan Rodgers’ title pretenders, Liverpool.

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

    Sakho didn't complete a single pass in the entire 2nd half. Wow

    Pretty content with my score. 35/36 depending on what bonus points Sterling gets and that's including all the other bonus points with Costa, Mata, Cahill and Rooney (c) to go!

    Roll on tomorrow!

    Pelle could have bumped me up by 17 points if his first touch wasn't so damn awful. :/

    I only bought Mannone last night because of Harry's comments about Green being #1. Didn't want to play a doubtful Schmeichel against United. Thank you Redknapp, I owe you 10pts 🙂
