It’s gorgeous out, but fantasy football fiends up and down the country are retreating indoors to see West Brom take on Newcastle. The Dugout Discussion reluctantly opens it’s doors on this fine Sunday afternoon.

The team news from our only game today is in. Here is how both sides line-up…

West Brom XI: Foster; Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell; Odemwingie, Mulumbu, Morrison, Andrews, Thomas; Fortune.

Newcastle XI:Krul; Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Perch; Ben Arfa, Guthrie, Cabaye, Gutierrez; Ba, Cisse.

Four changes to Roy Hodgson’s side sees Peter Odemwingie return to the fold, at the expense of Chris Brunt (who has suffered from tonsillitis this week). Also coming in is Jonas Olsson, Keith Andrews and Marc-Antoine Fortune replacing Nicky Shorey, Paul Scharner and Shane Long.

As for the visitors, Alan Pardew names an unchanged line-up from the side that beat Norwich last time out.

The Dugout Discussion will be open for the duration of the game, and can be accessed right here.

      0, 3, 1 - Arteta seems to attract BPs more than Walcott. Would expect higher pass completion/tackles etc may swing it.

    Ba is completely out of it! playing so deep! on the left 🙁 Think its time to call it a day on Demba! For all the games I've owned him he done absolutely nothing but miss a penalty, I missed the boat big time!
