Dugout Discussion

Just the one game to entertain us this Sunday, as Norwich welcome Sunderland to Carrow Road. The Black Cats Fantasy assets have a perfect platform to grab our attention ahead of their double Gameweek, though they have a tough task on their hands – the Canaries have registered clean sheets in each of their last three home matches:

As always, our Dugout Discussion is open ahead of the 4pm kick-off, with the team news as follows:

Chris Hughton names the same starting XI that drew 1-1 at Everton in midweek, with Ryan Bennett continuing to deputise at centre-half for the injured Michael Turner.

Norwich Starting XI: Bunn; Whittaker, Bassong, R. Bennett, Garrido; Snodgrass, Johnson, Tettey, Pilkington; Hoolahan; Holt

For Sunderland, James McClean earns a recall to the first-team. Seb Larsson moves into central midfield to cover for the injured Lee Cattermole – this sees Adam Johnson shift to the right, with McClean returning to his usual left wing berth.

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, Bardsley, Kilgallon, Cuellar, Rose; Johnson, Larsson, Gardner, McClean; Sessegnon; Fletcher

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Just seen the United headlines, why was Rafael the scapegoat, he didn't look to be at fault for any of the goals and the problems were all in the centre of the defence

        He was being tormented, was on a yellow and SAF said he needed more height at the back. Probably didn't want Rafael to get sent off and miss away to City

        Walcott and Sess would b great differentials,especially the latter with his dgw coming up. Silva is the obvious choice if u have the funds.Hope that helps mate

          Thanks. Am thinking about Silva but so fed up with Mancini's rotation. Just brought in Nastasic...

          May still go with him though, as he should at least play now when they have some tough matches coming up. Thinking Cazorla too, but he hasn't done much lately 🙁

            Yeh, have no City cover myself but will try and get Silva in as I think he is very little rotation risk. Caz is class but Arsenal not doing great, I have Walcott and thinking of getting Sess for dgw
