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.

    This look alright?

    GW32: Dempsey -> Sessegnon
    GW33: Surman & Suarez -> Bale & P Cisse
    GW34: Shotton -> a 4.8m or less GW34 playing defender (Olsson, Rangel, Turner)

    Migs, Bogdan
    Kompany, Skrtel, JEvans, Caulker, Shotton
    Dempsey, Valencia, Walcott, Siggy, Surman
    RVP, Rooney, Suarez

    Does that deflected Ba shot count as an attempt off target? The original shot looked to be on target, but the deflection obviously took it wide.
