The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Gameweek 27 concludes with three matches that address both title ambitions and relegation concerns.

Liverpool’s credentials as title challengers will come under the spotlight as they clash with Swansea at Anfield. The visitors come into the game potentially leg weary after their fine performance against Napoli in the Europa League on Thursday. In contrast, Brendan Rodgers side will be fresh and looking build on their last two home appearances which has seen them claim nine goals against the Everton and Arsenal defences.

Elsewhere, Newcastle will be looking to stem the tide of three straight defeats without a goal as they face up to Villa at St James’ Park. Paul Lambert’s side will be seeking to come away from the North East with at least a point to consolidate their position outside of the relegation places.

Events then conclude at Carrow Road, with Norwich battling to keep themselves out of the bottom three and hoping to get a result against a Totteham outfit that struck four goals on their last away trip at Newcastle.

Look to our Twitter feed for all the lineup news, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open for those looking to partake in some real-time banter.

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

    will hull get to play within GW29 even if they win their FA cup replay?

    Chelsea has no nailed on striker.
    Norwich, cardiff, fulham strikers can't score.

          As did I, but sometime you just have to play "safe".

          We all know Suarez is explosive, so it was a risk to captain Sturridge. A risk that paid off of couse, but a risk nonetheless.

          Just couldn't afford losing ground this week to my ML leader, after having closed the gap over the last 5 weeks.

            I understand the thought process, but you seemed to have a strong opinion on Sturridge over Suarez in the picks, which made it seem like you had no doubts who would score more.
