It’s gorgeous out, but fantasy football fiends up and down the country are retreating indoors to see West Brom take on Newcastle. The Dugout Discussion reluctantly opens it’s doors on this fine Sunday afternoon.

The team news from our only game today is in. Here is how both sides line-up…

West Brom XI: Foster; Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell; Odemwingie, Mulumbu, Morrison, Andrews, Thomas; Fortune.

Newcastle XI:Krul; Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Perch; Ben Arfa, Guthrie, Cabaye, Gutierrez; Ba, Cisse.

Four changes to Roy Hodgson’s side sees Peter Odemwingie return to the fold, at the expense of Chris Brunt (who has suffered from tonsillitis this week). Also coming in is Jonas Olsson, Keith Andrews and Marc-Antoine Fortune replacing Nicky Shorey, Paul Scharner and Shane Long.

As for the visitors, Alan Pardew names an unchanged line-up from the side that beat Norwich last time out.

The Dugout Discussion will be open for the duration of the game, and can be accessed right here.

  Considering the same but I also have Shotton who is out of favour. So should I sell him instead of Skrtel for Verm? Only thing is it leaves me with too much cash tied up in Skrtel. 😐

    Yeah, I had £1.45 left in my account. When I have to top it up I normally put £20 in. 13/1 does that nicely with my remaining balance.
    
    Was tempted to go for a hat trick at 66/1 but don't see it happening. Hope I'm wrong.

    Keeping Holt. It's only 1 match he misses. Baines, Dempsey, RVP and Rooney are all worthy of a (c) pick.
    
    I think RVP against a horrible QPR could be too hard to ignore.

    He was SO close. Well at least the McAuley clean sheet is gone. Newcastle looking good.
