The first double-gameweek of the season rolls on with two fixtures tonight, as Newcastle United host Manchester United, and Everton face Bolton Wanderers. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to capture you views on the events as they unfold.

Again the drama starts tonight with the (sometimes untrustworthy) incoming team news, but here are the official line-ups…

Newcastle XI: Krul, Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Santon, Ryan Taylor, Tiote, Cabaye, Gutierrez, Shola Ameobi, Ba

Man United XI: Lindegaard, Valencia, Ferdinand, Jones, Evra, Park, Carrick, Giggs, Nani, Berbatov, Rooney

Two changes for the home, as Gabriel Obertan misses the opportunity to face his former club. Also out is Haris Vuckic, with Davide Santon and Shola Ameobi starting for the Magpies.

As for the visitors, Sir Alex drafts in Anders Lindegaard, Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney for the trip to St. James Park.

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Donovan, Neville, Heitinga, Osman, Stracqualursi, Saha

Bolton XI: Bogdan, Steinsson, Cahill, Knight, Ricketts, Mark Davies, Muamba, Reo-Coker, Petrov, Eagles, Ngog

Whilst the game in the North-East will hold the attention of most, fantasy managers will have one eye on the game at Goodison Park, where Everton play their first fixture of two this gameweek.

David Moyes boldly goes with two strikers up front and starts Landon Donovan for the first time in his two-month loan period.

The Bolton team news is that Gary Cahill starts, despite his expected imminent move to the capital.

      same thing as an MUFC fan, we've lost (owning Jones has made it worse) but for my FPL team I have Tiote and Raylor to come in.

      seriously considering no United coverage post wc.
