The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

After yesterday’s disappointing start, many Fantasy managers will be looking for some of Sunday’s heavy hitters to come to the rescue.

A couple of 1.30pm kick-offs get us underway. Community Shield winners Arsenal welcome West Ham to the Emirates before Steven McClaren takes charge of Newcastle for the first time in the top-flight as in-form Southampton roll up to St James’ Park.

Stoke play host to big-spending Liverpool in the late kick-off, with Brendan Rodgers’ side looking to immediately avenge their 6-1 mauling at the Britannia in the final league fixture of 2014/15.

    Arsenal will finish 3rd or 4th. They'll get past the group stages of their champions league group but won't go any further than a quarter final. They might win an FA cup or League cup in the meantime. Not an unsuccessfull season by any stretch of the imagination but they are going nowhere fast

    The question was.....

    A) Mahrez and Pelle
    Or
    B) Mane and Wilson?
