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.

I shipped in Ade, Valencia and Baines for a 4pt hit before this gw.

Is it madness to use my freebie this week for Ade to Cisse?

Gerrard had to usher Kenny off the pitch!

His interview is going to be absolute gold.

  Well hard to predict, people did predict lower returns but not for Cisse to essentially take all of Ba's points! Ba has still been playing well and that -1 at Sunderland has had a big effect.

Anyone recommend taking a hit to do Skrtel out for someone else? I dont like taking hits, but with Reina out, Agger, Johnson, Kelly injured. I cant see the Liverpool keeping a cleanie or any point in keeping Skrtel

not so sure who to ship first, senderos or suarez.

so it is basically caulker vs balotelli next GW, or any forward who is lower than 9.3m

It's disappointing early game. I had decided to keep Suarez and didn't get P.Cisse for this match. Suarez got nothing. Cisse scored twice and tripple price rise.. 🙁

  same, if it wasn't suarez scoring last match, probably have already get rid of him.

With Collocini's injury and the impending blank, selling Simpson for Vermalelen seemed perfectly logical at the time.

Getting Reina for Krul on the DGW a few weeks ago for a 4 point hit was my worst transfer of the season. And I have Vorm as a second keeper whose been benched all these weeks because of it!
