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.

    Drenthe looks a class act, could have had another three assists with better finishing.

        There is the other side of Simpson, can't keep with his man. Scores 3 points then loses 4.

    Drenthe first sub! Opted to play Evans ahead of him! Well I guess if Silva doesn't play he could get in.

    Feels odd to say this ahead of a home game with Wolves but think I'm going to have to finally get rid of Baines as a long term move, thought he'd taken that corner then realised it was Drenthe. Liking the look of Drenthe now as well, naturally xD

    At least the cleanies gone.

    Damage limitation for me against all the Newcastle double and triple defenders being played by my rivals today.

    Still, I expect Simpson and Raylor will probably score in the 2nd half, Krul will save a penalty and Saylor score an own goal!

    Drenthe is Everton's most dangerous player by a mile.

    Drenthe and Larsson for Cabaye and Brunt this week I think.
