Saturday’s Dugout Discussion schedule looks like bringing us a feast of action today with nigh on all of the big sides facing off against “kind” opposition. First up, we’re served the palette cleansing amuse-bouche of Newcastle vs Everton…

Newcastle line-up as predicted with Sylvain Marveaux given the chance to impress once more, with Gabriel Obertan sidelined. There are two changes for the visitors, as Royston Drenthe and Phil Neville come in for Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and the suspended Marouanne Fellaini. Teams in full are…

Newcastle XI: Krul; Simpson, S.Taylor, Coloccini (c), R.Taylor; Marveaux, Cabaye, Guthrie, Gutierrez; Ba, Best.

Everton XI: Howard; Hibbert, Jagielka, Heitinga, Baines; Coleman, Neville, Rodwell, Drenthe; Osman; Saha.

A fair few high scores are expected today. Liverpool at home to Swansea. United facing Steve Bruce’s Sunderland. Chelsea away at Blackburn. Arsenal hosting West Brom. City closing out the day down at Loftus Road against QPR.

The only other remaining fixture of the day is Aston Villa vs Norwich and that too looks like it could join in the revelry. Cue nil-nils all round to defy expectations. Either way, the Dugout Discussion will be here through every kick of the ball.

    I said it a few days ago getting De Gea was a bad idea as Fergie likes to play Lindegaard from to time and at that price he would need to be guaranteed a start every week. Surprised the lads put him on the watchlist

      who would have thought squad rotation included goalkeepers? Goalkeeper needs consistency in his game by playing every week. Its his first season in a new league, so he needs to adjust quickly. How is this gonna help him?

    Why the feck is Sinclair on the bench?!
    Bosingwa too. Silva may not play. As predicted, after an ok start, I can see today going steeply downhill. Watch RVP go off injured after 5mins and Roonpig score a hat trick!

      Seconded RE: Sinclair - surely he's been one of the Swans most dangerous players, that doesn't really make sense to me.

      Bosingwa more understandable post Arsenal and may bring Simpson off my bench which wouldn't be terrible.

      Though I'm one of the very few in the game that don't have Silva I think that with a national break next week he probably will play.

    Finally i can get rid of Bosingwa now, knowing that he isn''t AVB's favourite anymore. That price rise was acting as a strong deterrent, but i'm at ease now.

    Raylor - 3

    Drenthe looks a decent fpl prospect to me. Most of Everton's more threatening attacks going through him, especially first half. Above all he's greedy which in fpl is gold. Only worry is a potential red card.
    I'll be disgusted if Ba gets bonus points for that "assist".
    In other news the return of James McFadden.
