There’s two tasty fixtures on the bill today, as the Dugout Discussion opens for the second installment of Gameweek two. We start at the Britannia Stadium as Stoke City host Arsenal, and the team news is in…

Stoke XI: Begovic, Wilkinson, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson, Pennant, Cameron, Whelan, Kightly, Walters, Crouch.

Arsenal XI: Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Diaby, Arteta, Podolski, Cazorla, Gervinho, Giroud.

Having been cleared to play, new signing Geoff Cameron makes his Potters debut in midfield. The visitors are without Wojciech Szczesnydue to a rib injury, so Vito Mannone is between the sticks. There’s a first league start for Olivier Giroud, with Theo Walcott the player making way.

Following that game we move to Anfield, where bottom of the league Liverpool welcome the visit of the Premier League champions Manchester City.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to follow all the action as it unfolds, and it can be accessed right here.

    Can't decide if I should get rid of Lennon? (the only spurs player I have) would have to take a further hit to try and bring Bale in for him, worth keeping?

      Worth giving Spurs a chance I think considering next 3 fixtures. Wouldn't take the hit though, so rarely worth it.

      1 - I think Pienaar's a better choice on form and history.
      2 - Do you mean a double hit? Unlikely to be worth it.

    Hey guys, hope the Tevez goal has made the majority happy here 🙂

    Need to sort these transfers asap, so what I was thinking was..

    Lampard -> Kagawa
    Torres -> Van Persie

    These would leave my mid/str as

    Bale - Cazorla - Noble - Kagawa
    Tevez - Graham - RVP

    Would be grateful for any advice,

      Very impressive. I think that's the secret to building really solid scores.
      I had 5 cleansheets this week but just 2 last (although I did have 3 more cleanies on the bench GW1 - in Vorm, Rangel and Shawx)

    Why did Clichy get dropped from the squad today?!

    Is my team terrible? I'm holding out on the WC. Rooney --> Tevez made. Ramires --> Routledge probably the other for a 4 pt hit.

    Jaas / Ruddy

    Clichy / Gibbs / Hange / R Taylor / Harte

    Snodgrass / Hoilett / Routledge / Sig / Kagawa

    Tevez / Torres / Vaz Te

    Lots of them were subbed or subs this week - but keeping faith with most. Over the next few i'll sift out Hoilett, R Taylor and Vaz Te (think the latter will score well at home but be sub every away match)

      Does look like you need Utd coverage, but what about Pienaar, Everton have started like a rocket and he's a bp magnet.

    Who to get rid of to bring in RVP for Rooney (-4pt)?
    Currently looking at A) Cole to Distin/Jags (have Vorm in net btw)
    or
    B) Cazorla/Nasri to Pienaar/Michu

    The current mid and defence consists of Cole, Zab, Rafael, Nelsen, Clyne
    Nasri, Cazorla, Hazard, Noble, Guthrie
    (Roon, Tevez, Graham)

        Definitely not a bad bit of business by Wolves. Jarvis and Fletcher moved on for close to £25m

        Fletcher an interesting prospect...but definitely would not have him in front of Suarez. Matter of fact, think there is better value around the £6-£6.5m range for an alternate striker. Graham, Cisse, Lambert, Di Santo/Kone, Petric
