The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

8 December 2013 3528 comments

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.

    Thousands of non-Lukaku owners will be frantically typing up emails to send to FPL as we speak.....

    Life and death depends on this decision to give, or not to give.

    Meanwhile......all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration — that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves.

    Please take me serious;
    Did anyonen see the Fulham match today? Riise was immense! A header off the post and two long range efforts that Guzan blocked. In addittion he was constantly going foreward and the team kept a clean sheet.
    Is he to be considered at 4.5? Is he a regular now under the new coach, or will Richardson get his place back?

      Riise is definitely worth putting on your watchlist. Looks like the new manager likes him, and if Fulham tighten up at the back, with the new coaching, which is likely, then he becomes very good value indeed. Certainly one to keep an eye on, after the next couple of tricky games.
