Dugout Discussion

Saturday Dugout Discussion

Having suffered a weekend break for FA Cup distractions, the Premier League makes a return with no less than eight encounters on today’s agenda. Proceedings start early at Loftus Road, where Harry Redknapp’s side will look to build on the unlikely three points gained at Stamford Bridge as they tackle another daunting derby with Tottenham paying visit. That’s followed by seven three o’clock kick-offs, with Chelsea’s trip to Stoke perhaps the headline act.

Those who have invested heavily in double Gameweek assets will be hoping that Rafa Benitez’s side can muster goals against the stoic Stoke defence. With the big-guns to follow in Sunday’s programme, the Britannia clash, along with Everton’s home meeting with Swansea, look to be our best source of points from the day’s offerings.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now accepting visitors, providing a real-time sounding board throughout the course of today’s matches.

The team news from the QPR camp shows starts for Shaun Wright-Phillips and Ji-sung Park, with Junior Hoilett and Esteban Granero making way. As for Spurs, they bring Gareth Bale back into their starting lineup, with Gylfi Siggurdsson dropping out. Michael Dawson partners Jan Vertonghen in central defence, with Kyle Naughton recalled at left-back.

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

      Don't have him, but that's bad news either way. Wish him a speedy recovery, hope it's not too bad.

    Sold Clyne for R.Martin on my WC, could be worse but Clyne will still probably end up on at least 7..

    Looks like I should have gone with Krul and Clyne instead of Jaask and Cameron - but those two were hard to foresee. Can always hope Nasty doesn't play so Clyne comes on. Unless Chelsea murder them Wednesday
