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.

    Larsson became the 3rd player to miss a penalty of those I've had the whole season so far. Walters and Rooney (( c)) missed penalties for me earlier.

    I've also had two players who got sent off when I played them, Evans and Kompany.

    Making Transfers.

    Hi guys, I have already made my transfer for GW 15: Phil Jones for Boswinga. Have done it already as forecast that each player’s values may well rise and fall, respectively. I have Given and Begovic as my goalkeepers, so am obviously really hoping that Given is fit to play at the weekend. Will be getting shot of Begovic for Tim Howard next week. Am just keen to save a little more in my bank. Do any of you guys make the transfers as early as this…??
