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 was out Friday night so completely forgot about my team. On 40 something I reckon, haven't looked. I know I didn't play my NewC defenders (who I would have played) and I kept RVP (even though I was going to transfer him to Tevez) Not all bad though, pretty sure I accidentally left the Captaincy on Rooney so that's something 🙂

      He is the most on form player in the league. Chelsea will have played a lot of games in a short amount of time. If Wigan concede first I think Newcastle will win convincingly.

        I'm fed up, referees/linesmen never miss fouls in the box or disallow blatantly onside goals when we're winning 4-0, always when we're in the shit. Giving a 2nd yellow card to Bonera an hour after a booked Bologna player got away with an identical offence was the final straw.
