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.

    On 28 points, and that's if Brown keeps his clean sheet. :S With the players I have, to gain ranks I'll probably have to hope the players I have left don't score well too.

    i got rid of Silva in the free wildcard fiasco of gw2, and even though he's almost a must-have, the fact i paid 9.5 for him before and now would have to pay 9.9 is irritating me

            I was speaking of his game so far.

            Is he a complete 'keeper yet? No. But he's by no means as problematic as some would say.

    Dzeko over Aguero is horrid
    Had Dzeko week 1 - aguero flying with 3
    Sold Dzeko week 2 and 3 - he scores 5
    Buy Dzeko back 4 - benched and aguero scores 3
    Keep Dzeko week 5 expect Ageuro to be rested
    Aguero scores 2.

    knee jerk feeling of packing the season in.
