Neil Warnock leads a host of Premier League managers set to deliver debuts this weekend, with new signings Shaun Wright-Phillips and Joey Barton likely starters for QPR in Monday’s clash with Newcastle.
Arsene Wenger will surely draft in new boys Per Mertesacker and Mikel Arteta and neighbours Spurs will give debuts to Scott Parker and Emmanuel Adebayor as they visit a Wolves side that looks set to be unchanged once more. Peter Crouch should lead the Stoke attack against visiting Liverpool, while Alex Ferguson continues to trust his young guns at the back and will re-unite Wayne Rooney with Javier Hernandez up front, as Danny Welbeck misses out with a hamstring problem.
Asamoah Gyan looks set to be ruled out for Sunderland, paving the way for Nicklas Bendtner to make his Black Cats debut against Andre Villas-Boas’ Chelsea, as the Blues head to the Stadium of Light without Didier Drogba, with the Ivorian continuing his recovery from concussion.
