Liverpool and United’s cut-price wide men both catch the eye this weekend. We also run the rule over Everton’s lone frontman, Tottenham’s attack under Tim Sherwood and a couple of Alan Pardew’s French imports:

    With captaincy a real conundrum this week, I have gathered goal-scoring records of the three most obvious choices against their respective opponents:

    Suarez - In four games played against City, he has 1 goal and 0 assists. Liverpool managed a total of eight goals in those four games.

    Rooney - In three games played against Hull, Rooney has 5 goals (including a four goal haul) and 3 assists. United managed eleven goals in those three games.

    Lukaku - In two games played against Sunderland, Lukaku has 3 goals and 1 assist.

      Also, Hull were never this sound defensively. And see when Rooney played those games. And where. Different times.

      Lukaku played against Sunderland for WBrom where he was the centre of every attacking movement.

      Don't think this helps.

    How on earth has David Silva accumulated 4 bookings this season?! For one, he hasn't played much and secondly he doesn't tackle much. Doesn't strike me as the type to strip naked when scoring either. A 5th booking on boxing day will make life easier when choosing for the Palace game.

            Still tempted to bring in Ade for Lukaku.

      Probably Ramsey of that lot, purely because he's away and Cabaye's home form is pretty rock solid.

      This is exactly why I always keep a cheap attacking player, so I don't have to make these decisions!

    Morning and Merry Christmas. What are the chances of the United line-up getting out before 11:30?

      unlikely...usually its available one hour before the game, but the deadline is 75 mins before kick-off...

        Twitter has been leaking the United team early recently. Unlikely from now on.

      A lot lower than previously.
      Moyes has banned reporters from leaking the team.

        Oh right. Knew their wasn't much chance but the Arsenal line-ups have been posted here early a few times when they have 12:45 match.

          Every team is different. Liverpool and Newcastle are the best for early lineups.

    Why Distin is yellow-flagged? Will he play against Sunderland?

          Personally prefer Silva. But due to suspension risk Yaya may be a better choice
