Sunday Dugout Discussion

Yesterday’s slim fantasy pickings has undoubtedly heaped the pressure on today’s four Premier League games to deliver. The Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through them all, starting at White Hart Lane with Tottenham Hotspur versus Liverpool and culminating in Chelsea’s visit to champions Manchester United.

In and amongst those back-to-back games, two of our Europa League representatives, Stoke City and Fulham, take on Sunderland at the Stadium of Light and Manchester City at Craven Cottage respectively.

The “Super Sunday” opener kicks-off shortly, and here are the all-important team sheets…

Tottenham XI: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto, Kranjcar, Parker, Modric, Bale, Adebayor, Defoe.

Liverpool XI: Reina, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Jose Enrique, Henderson, Lucas, Adam, Downing, Suarez, Carroll.

Catching the eye are the big strike-partnerships both sides have named. Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor continue upfront for Spurs, whilst Liverpool’s Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll start together for only the second time in the league this season.

Another headline is the return (to the substitutes bench at least) of Rafael van der Vaart, and it’s worth remembering he is not in Spurs’ Europa League squad.

Feast or famine, the Dugout Discussion chatroom will be here for you all day.

    Only transfer I'm considering this week is Walcott > Mata. But that wouldnt leave me enough in the bank for RVP>Rooney ahead of GW7 (unless RVP goes mental against Bolton and a nice bandwagon starts). Think I'll hold fire, and hope Swansea are nice and resilient one more week.

    Suarez walking a tightrope too, but cant get rid ahead of a home game against Wolves. You've been warned though Luis.

    All teams in Thursday night Europa action are losing apart from Spurs.

    Harry's team selection in Greece not such a bad idea.

        Not sure about 4th yet, but I'm hoping that this weekend goes some way to eradicating the continued use of 'the big 4' or it's recent sister 'the traditional big 4'.

        There is no big 4 any more.

            Well if anyone will have a good go at losing it, then you'd put money on Spurs.

            Arsenal will inevitably recover.

    City have had all possesion but no cutting edge. Scoring against Fulham at the Cottage was never gonna be easy. Aguero most lively. Dzeko(C) looks tired. Silva and Nasri have just been passing square most of the time.

    Think I may have to take 4 pt hit this week and get Silva in.

    Not having him is not doing me any good at all and not sure I can wait another 2 weeks before I WC.
