Sunday’s edition of the Dugout Discussion rolls into action just before the first game of the day kicks-off. The non-televised Midlands derby between West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers serves as our starter before the three-course football feast goes to Emirates for Arsenal versus Sunderland, and then finally to St. James’ Park as Newcastle United host Tottenham Hotspur.

The team news for the day’s opener is in, and here are the line-ups…

West Brom XI: Foster, Reid, Olsson, McAuley, Jones, Brunt, Mulumbu, Scharner, Thomas, Long, Tchoyi.

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Stearman, Berra, Johnson, Ward, Jarvis, Milijas, O’Hara, Henry, Hammill, Doyle.

Our predicted line-ups haven’t faired too well here it has to be said, with the home side naming only naming Nicky Shorey, James Morrision, Graham Dorrans and Peter Odemwingie on the substitutes bench.

Fewer surprises in the visitors line-up, with only David Edwards and Stephen Hunt not playing as predicted, with Nenad Milijas and Adam Hamill slotting into midfield.

So join me in the Dugout Discussion, where you’ll find me slowly rocking in the corner, praying that I can improve my miserable total of 11 points. I have just three players yet to play.

      Great GW for catching up. Halved the lead of the multitude of n00bs living off the early-season Rooney/Aguero explosions at the top of my league in one fell swoop.

      I swapped out Ade for Suarez in prep for Liverpools next run of games, but I am regretting it now. I wish I'd stuck with Ade.

    My Team

    Krul Vorm
    Simpy Bosingwa Enrique Knight De Laet
    Taarabt Nani Silva Brunt Fergie
    RVP Suarez Adebayor
    2.3M in the bank

    The problem is I already used up my free transfer on Brown>Enrique...and i still have Taraabt Knight and De Laet in my team and it looks almost certain that taarabt will drop in price this week ... so should i take him out for a hit ?? if yes ,, then suggest the possible replacements worth the 4 point hit ??
