The Dugout Discussion – Monday

After Sunday’s pair of fixtures delivered just a single goal between them, we’re hoping for a turnaround in Fantasy fortunes as Liverpool make their way to Selhurst Park this evening. Brendan Rodgers’ side desperately need to win in order to keep the pressure on City at the summit and can be expected to go on the offensive from the first whistle tonight:

Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge all scored against the Eagles in the 3-1 win at Anfield back in Gameweek 7 and the trio will be hoping to repeat the feat – Sturridge starts alongside the Uruguayan this evening, with Philippe Coutinho dropping to the bench due to a slight injury, according to Brendan Rodgers.

The arrival of Tony Pulis has seen Palace stiffen up considerably. Prior to last week’s defeat against City, the London club had won five consecutive league matches, though whether they can keep the “SAS” in check tonight is another matter entirely.

Our Twitter feed carries all the news from tonight’s team sheets, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open to collect your real-time reactions to this evening’s events.

Seeing a lot of people moaning about key players out this gameweek but this game rewards those sensible enough to build solid squads that can be relied on. Thankfully I did my homework and so am in a great position to absorb these injuries.

Out for me this week are Ramsey, Azpi & Rooney but thankfully in come Eriksen(2), Chester(0) and Collins(0).

I watch a Dutch football show called "Football International" and there was a journalist from the newspaper that first reported that Van Gaal is going to Manchester United. He said that he is absolutally sure that VG is going to ManU and that he should be presented on wednesday.
