Gameweek 13 gets off to a somewhat underwhelming start, as two of the Premier League’s worst form sides do battle. Coming in to the game on the back of four straight defeats, Stoke City host a Blackburn Rovers side with only one win to their name this season.

On the otherhand, we could be about to witness another end-to-end classic between two sides desperate for points. Blackburn showed last week that they will stop at nothing to get a result, even if that means Morten Gamst Pederson has to take a corner to himself or Paul Robinson has to go up and headbutt an opponent’s boot. Either way, the Dugout Discussion is open, and the team news is in…

Stoke XI: Sorensen, Wilkinson, Shawcross, Huth, Wilson, Pennant, Whelan, Delap, Etherington, Walters, Crouch.

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Lowe, Hanley, Dann, Givet, Rochina, Nzonzi, Pedersen, Hoilett, Formica, Yakubu.

Once again, Tony Pulis picks Thomas Sorensen ahead of Asmir Begovic in goal for the Potters. He also hands starts to Marc Wilson and Glenn Whelan, at the expense on Danny Higginbotham and Dean Whitehead.

Steve Kean is forced in to one change, with Mauro Formica coming in for the suspended David Dunn. Elsewhere, Jason Lowe replaces Michel Salgado.

After that we have six 3p.m. kick-offs, and the action concludes at tea-time with Arsenal Vs. Fulham.

    Pretty scummy kicks from Rooney earlier, very lucky to not be sent off

      as if, he was more than entitled to take a kick the first time and the second was perhaps a little messy, a warning at best.

      I'm enjoying looking at everyone else's team and seeing every below 10 points. Mata alone has got me 12 points this week so far. I just hope RVP doesn't play for some reason and Mata becomes my captain! Pity that Ade had to miss a pen, that would have sealed it for me this week.

      AVB dropped him once before this season, so I got rid of him. Promptly scored a hattrick next time back. So I got him back in. Starting to hate this little Portuguese fellow. Only way to redeem himself will be NOT to bring Fat Frank on at all.
