The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 6 – Monday

Gameweek 6 concludes this evening with a Monday night battle at The Britannia. Mark Hughesโ€™ side have yet to either score or pick up a point at home this season after losing both their opening fixtures in front of the Potters supporters โ€“ form in stark contrast to last seasonโ€™s, where they lost at home on just three occasions.

Hughesโ€™ troops will be buoyed by their visitorsโ€™ league displays. Newcastle have drawn blanks in both their road trips, though a midweek cup win at Hull, where new boy Emmanuel Riviere notched twice, will boost their confidence.

Mark Hughes makes just a single alteration from the side that drew against QPR last weekend, bringing in Mark Muniesa for Erik Pieters at left-back after the former notched twice in a cup win at Sunderland. Further up the field, Victor Moses, Charlie Adam and Mame Biram Diouf line up behind lone striker Peter Crouch.

For the Magpies, Tim Krul, Yoan Gouffran and Papiss Cisse recover from illness, though the latter continues on the bench as heโ€™s eased back into action following a long-term knee injury. Daryl Janmaat and Cheick Tiote also retain their starting berths after overcoming knocks sustained in last week’s home draw with Hull.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        Well, they play Burnley and Newcastle so feel optimistic, but sakho plays QPR and Burnley...them choices.

        Welbeck seems good but I just can't convince myself to buy him, let's face it buying arsenal players is very uncomfortable right now. They always get injured or don't perform. Also, Walcott is back soon, maybe a repeat of 2 seasons ago ๐Ÿ™‚

          Can't really worry about his hamstring. It's going to be the same all season and he's in everyone's team. Just have the best first sub that you can.

          It will be the same story, every week, for the rest of the season.

          Yes, because with Rooney, and Ramsey already out all I need now is Costa injured too.

        I've no Di Maria which is scary but I'm not sure he's an upgrade from any of these.
