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.

        8 if possible. The more you play in GW 34 the less DGW you have in GW36 and viceversa.

      Suarez/Skrtel owners what are you doing?
      Ditching or sticking? Villa are useless at the moment but then so are Liverpool.

        Keeping Suarez for now, need to load up with GW34 players

        May do Suarez > Ade for a hit prior to GW33, though

        I have Skrtel and planning to bench him next week and then ship out for Bardsley with GW34 in mind.

          Not 25, I hope Ade does a replay of his performance on that day though.
