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.

      Spurs form is shocking at the moment. I'd be expecting a max of 7 points out of Bale.

      That would be stupid. What they should do is have the option of a mini-league where everyone pays to enter and they take 5% of the money commission or something.

      Makes sure everyone pays then and there's no worries of people losing interest and not wanting to pay up or having to trust someone with all the money at the start.

        Attacking-wise or defensively?

        4 games instead of 3 is a huge difference, but I do agree that you need Rooney or another Utd play in there.

      Its difficult isn't it:

      Spurs have fixtures but no form
      Newcastle have form but poor fixtures
      Everton have fixtures, but no proven fantasy assets in form
      Liverpool have average fixtures, poor form and rotation for cup final
      Chelsea have great fixtures, average form and rotation before cup final
      Stoke have good fixtures, poor form
      Fulham have poor fixtures, but Dempsey has form

      City finally have form again, but two tough fixtures
      United have to perform, but face city first
      Arsenal's form has dropped off, but good fixtures

      Relegation contenders are too yoyoing, Sunderland, Villa, West Brom, Norwich, Swansea all average or poor form, nothing to play for.

      So basically everything's crap 😉

      I reckon they will make a statement of intent today, fancy 7-0 or something similar.

      Maybe Cech instead of Howard plus Pienaar.

        What about Terry instead of Hibbert, and Pinaar instead of DVD?
