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.

    Ergh. Pilks on the bench.

    You can almost disregard RvP's goal as everyone worth worrying about has him captained.

      still only 20% ownership though - not exactly aguero/rooney territory

      captaining him will still gain you places

      I would if Vorm wasn't my other keeper.

      For 2 keepers who are significantly more valuable at home, their rotation could not be much worse.

      It's one of the most embarrassing pick. I was surprised to see him there.
      I had never been confident in Evans until I saw scout picks.. 😕

      I had the full intention last night of doing Bosingwa to Evans. I then read the scout picks and a few choice comments and decided that Jones would be a better bet.

      Evans was clearly stated as a risk. A cheap and mighty tempting risk, but a risk nonetheless.

    Is Rooney really playing in midfield? He's still on pens and fks though, so he's still the best United coverage.

      Not really CM, it's more like Welbeck on the left, Park and Fletcher in the middle and Rooney in behind Hernandez.
