Two more Premier League fixtures this afternoon to keep the gameweek ticking along. The Dugout Discussion opens up for Everton’s fixture at home to Stoke City…

The home side make a single change from last weekend’s victory at Bolton with Louis Saha dropping out completely and Apostolos Vellios taking his place. The Potters, meanwhile, bring in Jonathan Woodgate, Ryan Shotton and Dean Whitehead in three changes to last weekend’s outfit. Teams in full are…

Everton XI: Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Baines, Hibbert, Heitinga, Osman, Fellaini, Bilyaletdinov, Cahill, Vellios

Stoke XI: Sorensen, Huth, Shawcross, Woodgate, Wilson, Shotton, Whelan, Whitehead, Etherington, Walters, Crouch

We’ll then move on to the only televised fixture of the day as Wolves play host to a Sunderland side looking to impress Martin O’Neill before he takes the reins. A game I can’t bear to watch having brought in Jamie O’Hara and made the laughably rookie mistake of then forgetting to start him.

Two sides with plenty to fight for after an equally poor last couple of months. The Dugout Discussion remains throughout.

    does anybody know Bendtner??

    I have said that guy is the most unprofessional - there's a reason why he is not a very good player...

    the guy when he was at Arsenal partied all the time - it was common for him to party till 7 and start training with the squad at 7.30am!

    He is a typical football idiot... at the opposite end of the spectrum of the late Gary Speed (RIP Speedo)
