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.

        On-topic, yeah, you shouldn't have bought someone and then benched him. You should only consider only if you are really starting him next.

          Additionally QPR's home form is pretty impressive at the moment, won their last four I believe. Blackburn's away form is not the greatest and Bolton's form is pretty so-so.

        There is usually a point where a team turns things around. They have been horrendous but they still have the fixtures in their favour to get going again. Newcastle won't keep winning every game because they are on form the same way Spurs won't keep losing because they have hit a bad spell. It's making the judgement whether they are set to turn a corner or not.

      I've doubled up.

      Was tempted with HBA and Cabaye, but decided against it. Think Newcastle's 2 games are tough. Spurs haven't been in form, but feel that Blackburn and Bolton will mean that goals will be scored in their games (thinking penalties also).
