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.

    Anyone got Heitinga? Anyone truly mental? Hope not, he just scored -3 in this game and wasn't even sent off.

    Is it worth WCing purely to make money? My team isn't a mess, but would make about 4/5 changes.

    Current Squad:
    Given, Ruddy
    Simpson, Brown, ShawX, Kompany, Bos
    Sinclair, Moses, Silva, VDV, Ramsey
    RVP, Ade, Sturridge.

    If I don't do it now, reckon I wouldn't use it until after Jan, but would it be much use around March time?
    Views appreciated.

      I would say no, you have a solid team that hardly needs tweaking. In my opinion, a WC should be used to improve and fix teams when times look rough, and while doing this you can earn some cash... If i had your team i would be ignoring my WC for a while yet. Bos and Sinclair are the only main changes i would consider.... Just on preference.
