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.

      I think City are more likely to drop points against Toon than ManU.

      But in reality they are most likely to win all their remaining games. And to be entirely honest they also deserve the title much more than ManU.

        Yeah it's worth looking at Cabaye. He looked awesome yesterday.

    F*CK YOU EVERTON

    ๐Ÿ˜† only joking of course. Nothing more than they deserved. What a match!

    Us United fans can be disapponted of course but should be well aware from past experience that it's not in United's DNA to do these things the easy way.

      Saw this coming weeks ago, it's what United do. Going to make it a cracking last few weeks.

    I benched jelavic - which gives me a total of 16 points on bench from sagna and jelavic. Just when I get the transfers right, I get my subs wrong...

    Looking forward to the derby.........it's gonna be awesome, for fans and neturals alike!!!!!

      My bench regrets are defensive oriented this week, bench Cahill and Taiwo - he's most likely to get 3 bps and end up scoring 9, while I have Evans and BAE playing for the total of 2 ๐Ÿ™

      Over 4 goals.

      Or exact score around 5-0, 6-0

      Some good odds available.

      Also City to win both halves, Aguero and Tevez both to score, Aguero to score at least two etc etc
