After Saturday’s feast of action, we’ve just a paltry single encounter to pour over today. However, it’s a feisty Black Country derby between Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion. The Dugout Discussion is open, and the team news from Villa Park is in, and is as follows…

Aston Villa XI: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Bennett, El Ahmadi, Delph, Albrighton, Holman, Agbonlahor, Benteke.

West Brom XI: Foster, Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Popov, Mulumbu, Yacob, Gera, Morrison, Brunt, Long.

Darren Bent is the surprise omission from Paul Lambert’s side, with the England striker relegated to the bench. Albion’s Macedonian defender Goran Popov gets his first league start, and Chris Brunt and Shane Long are back in the side after missing the midweek Capital One Cup tie.

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

        also considering Rodgers' has been rewarding young players who have played well, same for sterling and suso. so if wisdom continues to play well, he will keep his place imo.

    Would really appreciate a few opinions. would i be wise sacrificing RVP so i can bring in aguerro and gervinho for britton?? or should i hold on2 rvp for newcastle and stoke, and focus more on changing my defense for now?

      As you can see, with Guthrie dropped I only have 10 players for next week. So what should I do?:

      A) Berba -> Lambert to field XI
      B) Tevez -> Ba, Berba -> Lambert for -4
      C) Tevez -> Ba, Yaya -> Bale -4 and hope Berba will be fit

      Evening all, not a good week for myself...just after some opinions...

      Gk and defence I have no issues with.

      Front 8:

      Hazard Cazorla Yaya Pienaar Guthrie

      Berba RVP Lambert.

      1.1m in the bank and 1FT...

      Considering the following:

      Guthrie -> Sterling - and play 5mid and 2 strikers next week, keeping Berba until his return.
      Berba -> Ba
      Hazard/Guthrie -> Bale/Morrison or Sterling - it'd be a 4point hit but Bale seems to be on form and it'd give me a decent 5 across midfield.
