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.

Shame I went Cole instead of Bosingwa given the price difference. Still confident that Ivanovic will keep Bosingwa out when he's fit though.

  It was always risky i guess. Bosingwa has been pretty good today, and he's going to have an easier ride of it against West Brom than stoke. If i were AVB, i'd keep the same defence
