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.

    Why do footballers need rest? 2 games in 4 days for a professional sportsman is hardly torture. Especially when you look at other sports. Tennis for example, they'll play 7 or 8 potentially 3 hour plus matches in 14 days.

      There's no doubt that most footballers can play 2 games in 4 days...but it's likely that they won't be at their optimum fitness compared to if they play 1 game a week.

        Exactly. The fact clubs have squads means they can rest a player to get him to 100% again. The player could play the second game at 90% or whatever. I doubt tennis players are 100% a day after a 5 set slog.

    I know a game's on, but trying for advice anyway. 😉

    Thinking of Ramirez -> Bale and Suarez -> Lambert for -4

    Leaves 0 in the bank, but will prob downgrade Fellaini the week after.

    Fed
    Demel - Zabaleta - Jevans - Shaw
    Mata - Fellaini - Bale - Walcott
    RVP - Lambert

    Jussi - Sturridge - Michu - Davies
