Sunday Dugout Discussion

A bumper Sunday of seven Premier League matches gets under way at the Britannia as Gareth Bale looks to keep Fantasy managers in cheer and Tottentham’s top four ambitions on target.

There are five three o’clock kick offs to follow that, with United’s emotional farewell to Sir Alex Ferguson capping things off an hour later. Nobody really knows what to expect from that one, with plenty banking on returns from Robin Van Persie, with the Dutchman again established as an armband favourite.

Our Dugout Discussion is now open to provide real-time chat support throughout all of today’s matches.

The team news from today’s early kick-off find Stoke making just one change, with Matt Etherington fit enough to replace Cameron Jerome as Stoke look to be shifting to a 4-5-1. As for Spurs, Andre Villas-Boas makes two changes as Steven Caulker comes in for Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Clint Dempsey replaces Lewis Holtby in midfield.

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