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.

        5.0M defenders? I think you mean Baines and Bertrand... Ok I joke about Bertrand but he is the most appropriate to replace Kolarov

          Rangel, Boyce, Ridgewell and Saylor my man. The CS chance looks better right now based on what we've seen and big attacking potential, especially for the first two!

          Yeah, they had a great GW this week although looking at BAE's goalscoring record it could be a pretty rare event! Rafael could get plenty of attacking points if he actually was nailed on, but we know SAF, he isn't, and what we really want from him - CS - are failing miserably

      It's the PL mate. Clean sheets are rare; too much quality in the league. That's why I have 3 5.0's as my main defenders.

    Demel (FUL) 4.0
    McCartney (FUL) 4.0
    Figueroa (STO) 4.5
    Alcaraz (STO) 4.5

    both West Ham and Wigan rotates well with my other defenders.

    So disappointed that Liverpool didn't win that game. Two terrible goals to concede but I'm happy with how they played. Good pressing and nice fluidity between the front three. Allen and Sterling were excellent. With Sahin to come in, things look a tiny bit more optimistic.
    I hope Lucas isn't out for long. Also, that useless lump Adam needs to be sold asap.
