There’s two tasty fixtures on the bill today, as the Dugout Discussion opens for the second installment of Gameweek two. We start at the Britannia Stadium as Stoke City host Arsenal, and the team news is in…

Stoke XI: Begovic, Wilkinson, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson, Pennant, Cameron, Whelan, Kightly, Walters, Crouch.

Arsenal XI: Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Diaby, Arteta, Podolski, Cazorla, Gervinho, Giroud.

Having been cleared to play, new signing Geoff Cameron makes his Potters debut in midfield. The visitors are without Wojciech Szczesnydue to a rib injury, so Vito Mannone is between the sticks. There’s a first league start for Olivier Giroud, with Theo Walcott the player making way.

Following that game we move to Anfield, where bottom of the league Liverpool welcome the visit of the Premier League champions Manchester City.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to follow all the action as it unfolds, and it can be accessed right here.

    The season i came top 1000 my scores were only ever consistently above average I can't remember having spectacular weeks. What i'm saying is never knee jerk chasing points, especially early on in the season. There is a trend on this forum to WC/kneejerk just because a player is on form. Just make sure that after 4-5 gw's make sure that you have the exceptionally consistent players who aren't necessarily evident at this point in time.

      If you think you see a lot of kneejerking here, you should look at other forums. It's mental some places. People taking hits to get in Ivanovic, Hazard and Torres.
