The Dugout Discussion opens today for two Premier League games involving some of it’s most enjoyable teams to watch. Third-place chasing Spurs take on the exciting Swansea City after Newcastle host Liverpool, with the former fighting for European football.

The team news from the game at The Sports Direct Arena is in, and the sides line-up as follows…

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

Liverpool XI: Reina, Flanagan, Carragher, Skrtel, Jose Enrique, Shelvey, Spearing, Gerrard, Suarez, Carroll, Bellamy.

Alan Pardew is without the injured Fabricio Coloccini, which partners James Perch with Mike Williamson in central defence and puts Jonas Gutierrez in the left-back berth. It’s the same attacking mentality that served them so well at West Brom.

Liverpool also name an attacking side, knowing that a win here is essential if they want to overhaul the Magpies. Andy Carroll returns to his former stomping ground and starts alongside Luis Suarez.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom will remain open all day, and can be accessed right here.

    It is really difficult to watch a match with just the GK playing (from FF view)

    Thoughts on trading out Dempsey and Pogrebnyak for Gerrard and Balotelli? Got 2.5M spare in the bank and this would make the front 8:

    Bale Walcott Valencia Gerrard Siggurdsonn
    Rooney RVP Balotelli

      No. Gerrard doesn't play GW34 and Balotelli could be on the bench by then.

    10 men - 3-3-3
    Vorm
    Caulker Verm Evans
    Walcott Siggy McClean
    Bendtner RVP Rooney

    Skrtel Demsey Bale BAE on the bench

      Valencia - I have Young at the mo and I think I shall be retaining Dempsey long term (more on that later). I think Young to Walcott will be the move.

      I currently have Jelavic.
