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.

    I'm looking for a replacement for Taarabt, so a midfielder under 5.8.
    How likely is Rosicky to get game time? Is he a better option than Morrison, Moses, McClean or Miyaichi??

      I really like Rosicky as a punt atm. He's playing his best ever stuff for Arsenal and getting goals/assists.

      am keeping an eye on him. Will see how he looks tomorrow. Could be a great differential if he gets game time, which it was worries me when Arteta gets back.

      As much as Rosicky has decided he is going to carry our midfield on his back (whether they like it or not), he's not fit enough to play every game.

    UCL ramble...

    Reports are being posted about a bust up between the manager of AC Milan, 4vetti, and his star midfielder David Silva. 4vetti was quoted in The Sun as saying “David eees not his usual polished self. Da Silva has lost eets shine and this is not good for the Milanista. No… I will make no further comment except I am in the market for a beeg scoring player. I sheeped in Rooney but we need more, always more. I hope David will stay but he has to play with his balls, to be manly and make our opponents his puttane. He needs to get on top.”

    When asked about the like outcome of this week’s match against Cole Hole’s BATE Borisov 4vetti replied “It’s too close. Squeaky bum tempo... Tuesday morning will tell the truth. I expect a win if Ba can not get the cartellino rosso. Basta ora... I have a family”

    should you be able to see the tranfers history of others in my mini league? I read on here a while ago that you can see them in the transfer history as soon as they make them

    However I checked up until saturday morning and none were shown until the gameweek closed at 11.30am? is this right?
