Gameweek 28 enters it’s second day of action, which sees the top two sides in the country play simultaneously before the televised Norwich City versus Wigan Athletic game. Despite no TV coverage for either of the Manchester clubs’ games (in this country at least), the Dugout Discussion opens nonetheless to follow the events at the top.

The teams sheets from both our 2pm games are in and, starting at Old Trafford, are as follows…

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Jones, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Young, Carrick, Scholes, Welbeck, Rooney, Hernandez.

West Brom XI: Foster, Tamas, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell, Odemwingie, Andrews, Morrison, Mulumbu, Brunt, Fortune.

Having been turned over by Athletic Bilbao on Thursday, Sir Alex makes several changes with Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick, Paul Scholes and Danny Welbeck all returning the the starting eleven. West Brom make a couple of alterations, with Gabriel Tamas and Chris Brunt installed in the starting line-up.

Swansea XI: Vorm, Rangel, Williams, Caulker, Taylor, Allen, Britton, Sinclair, Sigurdsson, Routledge, Graham.

Man City XI: Hart, Richards, Savic, Toure, Clichy, Barry, De Jong, Nasri, Toure Yaya, Silva, Balotelli.

The home side are without the suspended Nathan Dyer, so in comes Wayne Routledge in what is their only change from their previous outing. The league-leaders are much changed following their midweek defeat in Portugal. Roberto Mancini takes another gamble away from home by starting Mario Balotelli on his own, leaving Sergio Aguero on the substitutes bench.

    Really don't need a 0-0 in the city game.

    Come on goals!

    But preferably not Aguero.
    And definitely not Richards.

      I do agree with you completely but I won't condemn Suarez until after his GW is over. He still has another 90 minutes to convert some of those shots he takes.

    When you have him and not many others do against Wigan and Blackburn he screws you over. And now when you chance it and don't have him he bites you.

    Heinous little man.
