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.

      It's been mainly A for me and is working nicely, but obviously a combo of both in reality.

      Form, but it's a much more complex and hard thing to come by or even understand. Fixtures is a more useful tool for us.

      Gotta go for both. It's not very intelligent to just use one or the other and expect results.

      Very nice, can see Balo nicking a few more goals, plus you've got him sorted for your GW34, as long as he plays.

    You currently have 10 players playing in Gw 34 !
    Thats Great !
    Well , I would still say don't transfer Ba out .
    He will break his drought in Gw 33 , I guess .
    You should field those 10 players only in Gw 34 and save your hits because you will have lesser of DGW players in Gw36 and then you can go for a hit .
    Rest is your choice , mate 🙂

    Which players are people looking to bring in for gameweek 36. If you could list a few that would be nice :P. Also would Sessgnon in for Fergurson and and Bendtner in for Suarez be good gameweek 34 moves. That will mean i can have 9 players playing 😛 - Not sure about Baines yet.
