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.

    Hi all

    Could you please tell me whether worth wild carding or not?

    Because I need to make a minimum of 3 transfers to have 11 playing. 

    Or -8?

    Given , Federici

    Terry, Vertonghen, Zabaleta, Gunter, Tierney

    Michu, Lampard, Bale, Larsson, Puncheon

    Torres, Tevez, Graham

    £2m in bank

    Thank you

    Am thinking of either a -8 or a wildcard. 

    Please Advise??

      Oh my, I wouldn't WC, all your players are healthy for starters. If four were out, I would think about it, you have four or five HOT, in form players. Basically, you are using your WC to pick from two main courses of action..... with RVP or without RVP. If RVP got hurt for two weeks (lord forbid) where would you be.
