Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Manchester City could deal the final blow to Queens Park Rangers’ slim hopes of survival when they meet at the Etihad in today’s lunchtime kick-off. Meanwhile, Chelsea play host to Liverpool in the tea-time match-up, with the Reds looking to maintain slim hopes of a top four finish.

Sergio Aguero is challenging Christian Benteke for the tag of form forward, having netted his fifth goal in four starts during a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. David Silva was also among the points at White Hart Lane – tallying his eighth assist of the campaign – yet has failed to grace the scoresheet in five Gameweeks. If the R’s are to have any chance of staging a miraculous comeback, they’ll need top-scorer, Charlie Austin, to snap out of his three-match barren run.

The Blues’ head-to-head with Liverpool promises to be a competitive affair, despite Jose Mourinho’s troops securing the title last time out. Eden Hazard will doubtless be pursuing his own personal milestones for the remainder of the season, as the Belgian winger closes in on 15 goals – his owners are hoping that the Belgian’s midweek holiday pics aren’t a sign of Jose Mourinho’s intentions to rest and rotate from here on in. Chelsea’s back line could make it five clean sheets in six with another shut-out at Stamford Bridge but should face strong resistance from the sprightly Philippe Coutinho, who scored on the weekend and has orchestrated Liverpool’s attack with aplomb of late.

      I think Liverpool will win this, but only if they score more goals than Chelsea in the second half.

      Was going to do Silva to Sanchez for next week. After today's showing I might do Hazard to Sanchez instead. Thoughts?

      Terry 2nd bench, 1st defender on bench. I so want to see Koscielny being rested tomorrow.

      Kolarov, Silva and Aguero (c) has put me on 86 + Sterling after BPS, hit deductions and not counting the points of Sterling.

      As a aguero(c), silva, hendo, terry owner I should be happy but still so annoyed that I chose wrong keeper third gw in a row and played skrtel instead of Pva.

      1. I Am Nobody

        I have PVA and Schlupp on the bench. 1 point total from Jagielka ang Skrtel.
