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.

        Don't like the play acting though, but head pushed in face, connect or with intent = red card.

        He didn't touch him. Should be a yellow for Perch, for the same reason Carrol got one.

        These incidents ruin football. Disgusting by Perch.

          I'm just so sick of it. Players fly around like they've been hit by a battering ram. Red card or not. I'd be embarrased if I was Perch watching this video the next day.

    footballers today really are a disgrace. yes, reina was silly and should be sent off for even making the action of a headbutt but Perch should be ashamed of himself for going down like that. Embarrassing for him and for the game.

          don't think so, as he's not classed as a GK in the game. Gutierrez is a mid in FPL, e won't get 4 its for a clean sheet today even though he's playing as a defender.

        That camera shot was brilliant on Sky. You saw Enrique standing in goals with Newcastle fans pointing at him as if to say look at him. Left them to join a "bigger" club and now he is playing in goal against them, 2 nil down and trailing them in the league.
