The Dugout Discussion turns on the floodlights tonight as we close out the gameweek with Stoke playing host to Newcastle this evening…

The home side make two changes from their last league tie – Jonathan Woodgate recovering from the midweek cup tie versus Liverpool in time to return and Jermaine Pennant back in the side in place of Dean Whitehead. The visitors, meanwhile, make a solitary change with Cheikh Tiote unfit and Danny Guthrie filling the void. Teams in full are…

Stoke XI: Begovic; Wilkinson, Shawcross, Woodgate, Wilson; Pennant, Delap, Whelan, Etherington; Walters, Crouch

Newcastle XI: Krul; Simpson, S Taylor, Coloccini, R Taylor; Obertan, Guthrie, Cabaye, Gutierrez; Ba, Best

All eyes on the Potteries as Fantasy Managers look for one last boost to their gameweek ten scores.

      I'm in the same boat, away from home Stoke don't really make sense. 3 weeks should hopefully be enough.

    just an added thought about wilkinson..
    if shawcross out for a while and woodgate not registered for europa, it'll mean huth plays CB at Europa.. couple that with woodgate injury history and Wilkinson will be nailed on for the foreseeable future:).. can foresee the next scout article sayin this
