There’s two tasty fixtures on the bill today, as the Dugout Discussion opens for the second installment of Gameweek two. We start at the Britannia Stadium as Stoke City host Arsenal, and the team news is in…

Stoke XI: Begovic, Wilkinson, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson, Pennant, Cameron, Whelan, Kightly, Walters, Crouch.

Arsenal XI: Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Diaby, Arteta, Podolski, Cazorla, Gervinho, Giroud.

Having been cleared to play, new signing Geoff Cameron makes his Potters debut in midfield. The visitors are without Wojciech Szczesnydue to a rib injury, so Vito Mannone is between the sticks. There’s a first league start for Olivier Giroud, with Theo Walcott the player making way.

Following that game we move to Anfield, where bottom of the league Liverpool welcome the visit of the Premier League champions Manchester City.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to follow all the action as it unfolds, and it can be accessed right here.

    Lovely free kick but Joe Hart has to take some of the blame for not getting his wall right.

      Rather ALL the blame. Rodwell was solid. Bad setup.

      Why, he stood solid in the wall.. it was set up by Hart wrong and of course a perfect strike. Rodwell may not be so hot in the rest of the game.

    Mancini please figure out your team's best defence and play them regularly. Switching between formation and defenders who can't link up is bad tactics. Rodwell for £12mil? Trying Liverpool's tactics now are we?

    Classica Liverpool - Lose 3-0 to West Brom and winning against City without 2 of their first team defenders. Someone shoot me.....
