Sunday Dugout Discussion

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.

    This GW 29 malarky is pretty annoying. Can someone post that link detailing it for me please?

    All I know as of know is that Arsenal and Chelsea are unlikely to play...but I know there are a few others.

    Cheers darlings x

      Everton vs Arsenal is the most at risk

      then Chelsea vs Fulham

      City vs Wigan and United vs Wham are the others

          United and City to win their respective FA cup ties, and also for some reason not play midweek despite not actually playing in Europe that week.

          This also makes my Cisse vs Giroud decision a bit easier.

          If Newcastle will definitely play in GW29, then Cisse it is.

    Best striker 7.5m or under for the next few games?

    Lambert, Benteke, Lukaku, Hernandez, Di Santo?

    1.6m in the bank, team value 111.1m. Plan is Suarez + Puncheon > 7.2m striker + Bale for -4 but would lose 0.4m on getting Bucktooth out. Team from this week -

    Begovic (Cerny)

    Johnson – Davies – Harte (Onuoha,Demel)

    Michu (vc) – Fellaini – Walcott – Mata (Puncheon)

    RVP – Suarez (c) – Aguero

    Probably been asked a few times while the game was on, but does it seem likely now that Demel will play the next game?

    Can do Suarez -> Lambert (or other) and no need to take any hits for the following team.

    Federici
    Demel - Jevans - Zabaleta - Shaw
    Mata - Fellaini - Ramirez - Walcott
    Lambert - RVP

    Jussi - Davies - Michu - Sturridge

        Thanks D.

        Will prob do Fellaini to Sissoko next week. Will still be a benching dilemma, but a bit more feasible.

        One for all and all for one!

    chances of Tevez being back next week and waltzing into the first team?

    should be zero but, well, you know.

    Is it worth having the power five with sturidge rvp and dzeko? i know thers a bench problem but if u sit down the player least likley to score big. Surely that gives u a great deal of flexabilty to your team. puncheon is good but he never gets on the pitch and thats frustrating
