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.

    Can we assume Rooney and RVP will get roughly the same amount of game time from here out? Getting RVP back would deny me Bale (who I don't think I can ignore much longer). Comes down to

    A) GJ + Suarez --> Sagna + RVP (no Bale)
    B) Gerrard + Suarez --> Bale + Rooney

        No... I said that it was always a one-week punt to get rid of him. I was speaking for the decision that I made this week. I went with my gut, stuck with it and failed. That I have no hard feelings for. It was always between A and B above in order to field 11 players next week, I'm just torn between the two now
