The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

The Gameweek continues with a pair of Sunday afternoon kick-offs, beginning with Fulham’s clash with Villa at the Cottage, in just a few minutes. Following on from that, two form sides clash at the Emirates as leaders Arsenal look for their seventh home victory of the season against an Everton outfit fresh from their midweek win at Old Trafford.

While those two teams are looking to extend a superb spell of results, Rene Meulensteen’s Fulham are desperately seeking to end a run of six consecutive defeats against Paul Lambert’s inconsistent Villa: they will arrive in West London unbeaten in their last four road trips in the league and boosted by the midweek win at St Mary’s.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest news on today’s teamsheets as it breaks, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain so throughout today’s matches, up until the final whistle at the Emirates.

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

      yeah, he's not a natural winger I don't think, but he's not going to displace Ozil through the middle

        I don't think this is it - He played very well on the wing for Malaga and for the second half of last season

          his better set of instincts is for making the pass rather than making the run, which can detract from his play as a winger

      Santi natural position is that of behind the striker, however this position is currently taken by Ozil

                I disagree. I don't see how he's a good diff lying on the bench at 9m odd. Even funnier is the people who sold Ozil for Walcott.

              Because my premium mids kept getting injured and Walcott started to look appealing, despite concerns over him just returning. Had he not been ill last week he would almost certianly have started instead of Bendy against Hull. Wenger did not report this illness until after the game.
