The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

There are a pair of 4pm kick-offs for our Sunday afternoon assessment, as Everton host Manchester City, while Watford search for their first win against an out-of-sorts Southampton outfit.

The Toffees punished Saints’ new look defence last weekend, ranking joint-second for big chances (three) behind Stoke City (five). The Merseysiders placed fourth for home clean sheets (eight) in the previous campaign but face a tall task trying to pacify Man City’s effervescent attack, considering they put three past Chelsea’s experienced back line.

Saints boss Ronald Koeman will be looking for a big response from his players at Vicarage Road, having watched them ship five goals in their opening two league clashes. No side has conceded more goal attempts from set pieces (eight) than Southampton this season and it will be interesting to see if Quique Flores’ side can look to exploit that apparent weakness.

    Wilson and Deeney, pre season lots of votes each way, Is Wilsons hat trick a sign of things to come? or are the two still very comparable?

      This game is about two things.

      Form.

      And fixtures.

      Both are currently with Wilson.

          Yeah I was very impressed with him vs West Ham.

          His next three are cracking fixtures and he will no doubt rise in price, I might trade Deeney out for him.

    How Yaya scored 20 goals 2 years ago as a box to box defensive midfielder still blows me away. I know he scored some penalties with Aguero injured, but no way could he replicate some of those free kick goals.
