Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Wednesday

The final two fixtures of Gameweek 34 arrive this evening. Everton and Palace both have plenty to play for at Goodison – an eighth straight win for the hosts would take them back above Arsenal in the race for fourth, whilst a victory for Palace would take Tony Pulis’ side onto the 40-point mark. City are desperate to bounce back from Sunday’s loss at Liverpool – the visit of basement-dwellers Sunderland affords them the chance to rack up a fifteenth home win in 16 attempts:

The big news from the Etihad is that David Silva has been omitted from City’s squad altogether. With Yaya Toure sidelined due to a groin injury and Edin Dzeko dropping to the bench, Sergio Aguero will carry the hopes of many into this evening’s encounter against a Black Cats side beset with injuries, suspension and illness. Over at Goodison, Romelu Lukaku – leader of last week’s Captain Poll – is looking to recover from Saturday’s unexpected blank at Sunderland.

We’ll bring you the teamsheet news from tonight’s games via our Twitter feed, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open for those looking for some real-time reactions.

    I felt my hamstring go the other day playing... it's now about 5 days later and got a really dark bruise on the back of my leg.
