The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

After a subdued Saturday programme, Sunday explodes on us with veritable feast of football featuring five of last season’s top seven sides. While Chelsea’s visit to the Etihad at tea-time is undoubtedly the headline act, we’ve plenty to keep us engaged until the 4pm kick-off.

The day begins with a pair of fixtures, with Leicester looking to continue their impressive start to their campaign against Louis van Gaal’s United redux, whilst at the Lane, Spurs will be seeking to dish out further punishment to a West Brom side that’s faltered out of the blocks so far.

That’s rounded off by the main event in Manchester, with Everton’s Goodison clash with Crystal Palace running alongside it. Fantasy managers look set for a eventful afternoon,then, with the day’s events potential turning Gameweek fortunes on their head.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news and key injury updates as the night draws in and Gameweek 5 draws to a close.

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

        The leader doesn't always have to have an armband on, obviously players like Keane are intimidating but the likes of Neville and Ferdinand didn't need captaincy to be a leader.

        What I'm trying to say is Rooney has never been a leader and won't be.

      there are other obligations that come with it (off field) and also its a mark of greater attachment to the fans and club.

      I think the armband is something very special and a captain should be very proud to wear it.

      Captaincy and commitment should be synonymous, but there is no reason why a player should show any less commitment without the armband.
