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.

    Kosc keeping Arsenal in the game. Coleman bossing Arsenal's left attack. Barkley pulling strings for Everton. Distin good BPS wise i guess, done nothing of note though.

    dare i say it Arsenal miss Sagna. Everything's going down the left and Coleman McCarthy are dealing with it very well

    Excellent match so far, very intriguing.

    Everton have been the best side but Arsenal coming back into it.

    A good game so far. Everton is good enough to wake up Arsenal for playing their old but beautiful attacking style (though Ramsey's shot stopped by Howard) that everyone is missing so much.

      indeed. Had a monster of a half. But i think it's partly down to the fact Everton has completed much more passes than Arsenal this half. Presume the passing BPS have been included for EVE already.

      Tackle and recoveries BPS added after the game no? Kosc will boss that based on first half performance

          I think it is. Since attacking players' being dispossessed gets calculated after a game, no. of offsides etc, I'm thinking tackles made are added after. Dont quote me though 🙂

    Half time coming at the wrong time for Arsenal.

    Walcott needs to come on to get Özil to a central role. Don't like how he's pushed to the right most of the time.

    Barkley is frustrating. When I've watched Everton and he actually plays he looks great and it makes me want to keep him, but then he gets me a 1 pointer too often.
