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.

    Need a bit of help on below please lads. Normally make my own mind up but I'm struggling big style.

    Vorm (Krul)
    Simpson/Enrique/Brown (Jag/Rangel)
    VDV/Silva/Bale/Walters (Ferguson)
    RVP/Ade/Sturridge

    Poor defence and bench.

    Was thinking VDV - Mata or Nani and Rangel - Jones??? Would be 4 point hit.

      Defence is the only problem I see. VDV will come good, though is good to free up funds for the back line. Simpson may need to go along with Rangel in coming weeks. Reasoning behind Simpson is NUFC losing both centre backs to injury, I expect the clean sheets to disappear regardless of decent fixtures.

      Personally I'm looking at getting him in in a couple of weeks; he's the most used striker in the well-oiled goal machine that is City at the moment, which makes his ceiling too high to ignore for me. He could get 30+ goals this season. It means you have to get a cheap forward such as Yak/Helguson/Morison/Graham as your 3rd along with RVP, but they're all providing good value this year.
