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.

    I've been on this site since the beginning of the season, mostly lurking, but I registered and started posting a few weeks back.

    All the members have been very friendly and the community as a whole seems great, except for this cfc Tom character. It would appear the community as a whole really dislikes him, and all his comments speak of a petulant, troubled and rather spiteful little boy.

    Now I don't presume to tell you how to run your site - but surely it's desirable to get rid of such unwanted elements?

      If another user has stepped out of line, we have a report abuse button you can use to let us know and we'll take a look and act if need be.

      The community does have characters that that will be "outspoken" and will, now and again, go too far. This is a football site though - it's bound to happen - we're going to get disagreements and a lot of passion within comments. If it gets personal and over the top, then action can be taken.

      Like I say though, if there's abuse/personal attacks going on, please report them via the green button on the left of the respective comment.

      In general, the majority of folk here get along, get to know the "characters" and avoid conflict with them. Hopefully you'll join them.
