Saturday’s Dugout Discussion schedule looks like bringing us a feast of action today with nigh on all of the big sides facing off against “kind” opposition. First up, we’re served the palette cleansing amuse-bouche of Newcastle vs Everton…

Newcastle line-up as predicted with Sylvain Marveaux given the chance to impress once more, with Gabriel Obertan sidelined. There are two changes for the visitors, as Royston Drenthe and Phil Neville come in for Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and the suspended Marouanne Fellaini. Teams in full are…

Newcastle XI: Krul; Simpson, S.Taylor, Coloccini (c), R.Taylor; Marveaux, Cabaye, Guthrie, Gutierrez; Ba, Best.

Everton XI: Howard; Hibbert, Jagielka, Heitinga, Baines; Coleman, Neville, Rodwell, Drenthe; Osman; Saha.

A fair few high scores are expected today. Liverpool at home to Swansea. United facing Steve Bruce’s Sunderland. Chelsea away at Blackburn. Arsenal hosting West Brom. City closing out the day down at Loftus Road against QPR.

The only other remaining fixture of the day is Aston Villa vs Norwich and that too looks like it could join in the revelry. Cue nil-nils all round to defy expectations. Either way, the Dugout Discussion will be here through every kick of the ball.

        Sod off, I wasn't asking for sympathy, I have S Taylor (Warnock & Enrique) also playing and wanted to spread the risk.

            Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the last touch before the goal is scored.

            If after this touch, an opposing player touches the ball outside the penalty area altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is given, except if this intervention directly results in an own goal.

            Ba got the last touch inside the box and there were no Everton touches outside it [the box] afterwards - Ba assist.

          So what? It's an assist. Go read the rules

          "Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the last touch before the goal is scored.

          If after this touch, an opposing player touches the ball outside the penalty area altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is given"

          Distin touched the ball INSIDE the area. Case closed.
