Dugout Discussion

Sunday Dugout Discussion

Sunday delivers a double header of lip-smacking ties, as old rivals United and Liverpool clash at Old Trafford, whilst Arsenal host City in the four o’clock kick-off. With a host of big Fantasy assets on show, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to catch the real-time yelps and cries as events unfold.

The team news for the lunchtime kick-off finds Sir Alex Ferguson opting for the experienced pairing of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand at the back, with Jonny Evans reportedly missing out with a hamstring problem. Elsewhere in the United lineup, Danny Welbeck is drafted in, along with Shinji Kagawa as Antonio Valencia and the rather unfortunate Javier Hernandez drop to the bench.

Visitors Liverpool make just one change: Joe Allen comes into the midfield with Jordan Henderson dropping out. Andre Wisdom again occupies the right-back role, then, with Glen Johnson deployed at left-back. Both Daniel Sturridge and the returning Fabio Borini find places on the bench.

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

    Apparently Arteta isn't in the Arsenal first 11?? Good job I didnt jerk already and pick him up to sit next to Theo in my 5 for the DGW.

    What's that all about? Diaby? Diaby over Arteta every week now Arsenal fans?

      Not an Arsenal fan but I would expect Arteta to go back into the squad, just could be a niggle or fatigue. I'm considering Arteta/Ox to compliment Walcott + Sagna for the DGW. FA Cup lineup on Wednesday will reveal a bit more

    That Vidic goal & Evra assist doesn't sit well with me. Technically speaking, yes, it's correct but common sense should prevail imo.
