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.

          Eriksen is not a priority, as he (theoretically) has games in the next two weeks.

          No game in GW28: Mannone, Zab, Silva, Mata, Colback
          No game in GW29: Mannone, Zab, Kosc, Silva, Colback, Suarez, Sturridge

          Whatever changes you make, you should focus on bringing in players who have games. Nolan might not be playing in GW29.

          I'd be doing something like Zab & Silva > Azpilicueta & Snodgrass

      I think Norwich are very underrated.

      They don't have any sharp edges up front (they need a real striker) but they play very well. I think Snodgrass is a real talent, and I really hope Norwich avoid relegation because they are not far from turning into a solid mid-table team. Think Everton 2008-ish, etc.

      Tottenham looked lost in the fog, but that could be fatigue, i don't know. Better than AVB days, but still missing Gareth Bale creativity.

      Benteke has been my worst signing of the season, when I decided to go with him over Sturridge they had similar form and fixtures, so I chose benteke over Sturridge because I already owned Suarez. Woops!

    It possible to Erikson isn't match fit.

    Sherwood knows more about his team and players than we do. It's more logical there was a good reason not to play hom.
