After a reasonably low-scoring Saturday (for me at least), we have three remaining Sunday afternoon fixtures to increase our tallies. And with the four most selected captains in action today, according to our poll, we have every chance.

The first of two televised games sees Roberto’s Mancini’s Manchester City play host to Newcastle United. The headline team news for the 1:30pm game is that Newcastle leave striker, and fantasy favourite, Andy Carroll on the bench for the first time this season. For Man City, Jerome Boateng starts his first league game and Adam Johnson is once again on the bench, despite scoring mid-week…

Man City: Hart, Boateng, Toure, Kompany, Lescott, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Toure Yaya, Milner, Tevez

Newcastle: Krul, Perch, Williamson, Coloccini, Jose Enrique, Ben Arfa, Nolan, Tiote, Barton, Gutierrez, Ameobi

Then, on the other channel, Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea at 4pm, where both clubs are looking to bounce back from defeats last week. Elsewhere, and not on the box, 18th-placed Liverpool take on 16th-placed Blackpool at 3pm.

As always, the Dugout Discussion will be with you throughout the day. Enjoy.

    I'll chalk the Alex to Konchesky transfer two weeks ago as a fail then.

      No he hasn't. 6pts does not make or break a GW.

        trust me an extra 6 pts makes a big difference, especially in h2h.

    I'm an Arsenal fan, but I have Drogba as captain and Alex in defense. I would've gladly sacrificed those gains for a point or three at the Bridge.

    who was around Friday night when i decided to bench Alex and therefore predicted a clean sheet and a free kick from 30 yards? I did bench Alex but fortunatley Thomas didn't play and Alex is first sub 😉
