The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Saturdayโ€™s modest points returns pile expectations on to Sundayโ€™s trio of encounters, as an assortment of prime Fantasy assets take to the turf.

It all begins with a pair of lunchtime kick-offs, as Spurs entertain Newcastle at the Lane and Burnley host Everton up at Turf Moor. Fantasy managers will be looking to the likes of Leighton Baines, Nacer Chadli and Christian Eriksen to provide some early cheer, before attentions turn to the main event at Old Trafford at 4pm.

United and Chelsea meet head-on in one of the seasonโ€™s key clashes. It arrives in time to find Jose Mourinhoโ€™s Blues flying high on top of the table, while Louis van Gaalโ€™s United struggle to break out of a state of flux.

The script points to a comfortable away win, with Fantasy managers eagerly awaiting the visitorsโ€™ team sheet and the potential โ€œrevelationโ€ that Diego Costa defies the claims of his manager to spearhead the Chelsea attack. We’re in for a fascinating afternoon.

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