The Dugout Discussion opens today for two Premier League games involving some of it’s most enjoyable teams to watch. Third-place chasing Spurs take on the exciting Swansea City after Newcastle host Liverpool, with the former fighting for European football.

The team news from the game at The Sports Direct Arena is in, and the sides line-up as follows…

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

Liverpool XI: Reina, Flanagan, Carragher, Skrtel, Jose Enrique, Shelvey, Spearing, Gerrard, Suarez, Carroll, Bellamy.

Alan Pardew is without the injured Fabricio Coloccini, which partners James Perch with Mike Williamson in central defence and puts Jonas Gutierrez in the left-back berth. It’s the same attacking mentality that served them so well at West Brom.

Liverpool also name an attacking side, knowing that a win here is essential if they want to overhaul the Magpies. Andy Carroll returns to his former stomping ground and starts alongside Luis Suarez.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom will remain open all day, and can be accessed right here.

    I really don't get that from Carroll. Did really well to get into that position, rounds the keeper so why not just roll it into an empty net?

      This was always going to be a high tempo game with plenty of chances. I would have benched both Enrique and simpson if Caulker hadn't been my other defender.

        Amen to that.

        I was very close to bringing in Cahill for Enrique to be fair though so it could be a lot worse right now!

    Diving is bad enough. Diving when you've got an pen goal is stupid. Diving against your old club when you've got an open goal is just taking the piss.

    Carrol's dive, ridiculous... is that what Liverpool want to teach the young amateur players . The good strikers try to score not trip over AIR. His mindset is completely warped and this must extend to the coaching who permit this cr**. This is the part of football I hate-- thankful for his well deserved yellow card.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again; Liverpool have one of the ugliest teams I've ever seen. With Shelvey, Spearing and Skrtel, it's like they're gathering together a band of neo-nazis!
