Yet again both Manchester clubs in are involved in Sunday Premier League action. With most fantasy managers cheering on their captain today, the Dugout Discussion opens to follow all the action from the three games on show.

We start at Old Trafford as United look to open up an eight point gap with a victory against Everton. The team news from the match-up is in, and the sides line-up as follows…

Man United XI: De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Scholes, Carrick, Nani, Rooney, Welbeck.

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Neville, Osman, Heitinga, Gibson, Pienaar, Fellaini, Jelavic.

Nani returns to United’s starting eleven for the first time in eight games, with Ashley Young taking his place on the substitutes bench. Facing his former employer, Darron Gibson starts for Everton.

Then it’s over to bottom of the league Wolves, where City are in town needing three points regardless of the earlier result. Kicking off at the same time, Liverpool and West Brom are also in action, with Roy Hodgson back at Anfield for the first time since departing as Liverpool manager.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

      Rooney to Aguero this week is looking like a fail for me. This is such an important win for United. They can now go to City with loads off pressure off their backs.
      The league is still so open tho. If MC win all their games till the end of the year, they have a good chance of winning the league

      Lol its not just about the top scorer. Several players did well for Utd which is why they are top and will probably win. Arsenal were a one man team and are still 3rd which is why RVP deserves it.

        Exactly. Rooney has done far more apart from his goals though - he's played in midfield half the time! And, he's often winning the ball on the edge of his own box!
