Akers

The second day of the 2011/12 Premier League season sees two of the main title contenders in action. The new Chelsea boss, Andre Villas-Boas, has a tough first competitive assignment at the Britannia Stadium, to take on Tony Pulis’ Stoke City. Following that, the reigning Champions Manchester United are also on the road, with The Baggies waiting for them at The Hawthorns.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business as usual, so come in, take a seat and hope we see an improvement on yesterday’s events (both before and during the games)…

News from the Britannia has filtered through, and there’s a debut for Stoke City centre-back Jonathan Woodgate. He plays in a 4-4-2 that sees Jon Walters partner Kenwyne Jones up front.

For the visitors, Fernando Torres is passed fit and plays at the expense of Didier Drogba. The Spaniard is flanked by Florent Malouda and Salomon Kalou.

Liking lamps retaining his advanced role. He should be good for his usual 15 orvso goals if he stays fit thisvyear. Well worth the price tag IMO & his tiny ownership % is an added bonus

      Both dives and Lamps was a dive also. I don't think United/City have much to worry about if this is what Chelsea are going to serve up each week. Very predictable. Don't understand why Drogba has been left to stew on the bench, he offers so much.
