With Gareth Bale and Michu tearing up defences and delivering big returns from Saturday’s matches, there’s much anticipation ahead of Sunday’s programme. While Aston Villa’s clash with West Ham seems likely to be an edgy battle of attrition, the Old Trafford clash between United and Everton looks to have a lot going for it. Sir Alex Ferguson’s teamsheet will be of keen interest in that one, while the Toffees will be looking to repeat last season’s thrilling 4-4 draw and perhaps keep the title race interesting.

The early team news is in and sees Paul Lambert make three changes to the Villa XI, with Nathan Baker, Fabian Delph and Jordan Bowery replacing Joe Bennett, Karim El Ahmadi and Gabby Agbonlahor.

For the Hammers, Joe Cole and Emanuel Pogatetz come in for Matt Jarvis and Ricardo Vaz Te; Guy Demel is on the bench.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to provide a backdrop to the day’s action.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    FWIW I think this team will be very similar to the one that starts in Madrid, especially the Rafael-Jones double up on Ronaldo.

      Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - Rafael & Jones stopping Ronaldo = comical.

      United's poor midfield is gonna get exposed and it could be a pretty embarrassing drumming.

    Fergie probably wants to kill the game off early, put it beyond doubt and then take off the likes of RVP and Roo. Makes more sense than playing a much weaker squad and having to bring on RVP and Rooney to save them in the last 20 minutes.
