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 love Cisse but was worried after he scored the goal yesterday, when Pardew switched him to the flank and put Ba upfront. I'm assuming Pardew did this to help Ba break his scoring duck. If this becomes a pattern where Cisse and Ba switch between upfront and dropping deeper, then this might dent Cisse's scoring potential though I reckon he will still score well, he's a beast.

      elly is the uncontested number one forward at Everton now so I can only see him scoring more and more as he settles in. When Baines is back he'll have even more chances. So I give the verdict to Jelly but only just.
